London, England. A city where Lamb Shwarma is exotic, and rickets is making a comeback. Being Australian, and fond of good food, sunshine, and attractive people, London was not my cup of Earl Grey. It wasn't all bad in London, must see tourist attractions included Paris, the magnificent eiffel tower, and the Somme region of France. But seriously, next time I feel the need to visit London, somebody shoot me in the face. Either that, or just stick me in a cold dark room with no windows, a warm beer, a slice of stale bread and a limp carrot. Which, coincendally, was the Sunday special at the Kings Ankle and Sheep Bladder pub in Camden. London is best viewed, when drunk. London is the runt of the European litter. London wasn't all bad, but it was at least 99.9% bad. On a positive note about London and the UK in general, since leaving London, we have visited France, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Photos to come as soon. Big shout out to London's West End Cameras in Shropscock on Putwinkle, they saved a whole bunch of London shots from a roll I did my best to burn, lest I ever be reminded of London again. Nah, London's alright, innit guv?

Thankyou for reenforcing all of my prejudiced preconceptions of London and saving me the expense of ever visiting there... no, really THANK YOU
London is like a vortex that sucks you in. When I first arrived here, it was all a bit 'meh'. A year later, and I absolutely love the place. There are so many layers to this city that one can never uncover in a short visit.
....kind of like a toilet crossed with an onion?... boo yaaaaa (ironic I promise)
To be honest, even as someone who isn't the biggest fan of London this seems a bit strong. It grows on you, a bit like a fungus :)
Where in Aus are you from?
I tells it how I sees it... my tongue is in my cheek... or is it?
