Impressions of London

Arriving back in London, it was warm and sunny thankfully as I don’t think I would have been able to cope with rain after a week in the sun-kissed south of France.

Heading in to Central London, I was delayed on the Stansted Express and so an hour and a half later, I was finally on the tube. After the pristine countryside, the sleepy French villages and the incredibly beautiful scenery I’ve seen over the past eight days, London felt somehow ugly, dirty and noisy and getting back to Chalk Farm, my flat felt particularly barren.

Luckily it’s the start of the Olympics this week and I’m busy with friends and family coming to visit or I suspect I wouldn’t be very happy to be back…
