Started the day with some chatter with flatmates, Ive been living in Camden for the last week. North part of London, known for it's market and it's "punk/gothic" ways of the past. Some may even think of student ghetto, but it's now been infused with more yuppies taking over the area.
Walked up to Camden Market and right past it is an area called Chalk Farm (a upand coming area... like Parkdale but less dodgy).
Mission: Regent's Park and Primerose Hill.
As I cut through the street and asked for direction, they all advised me to NOT go to the canals alone (as it was dangerous)... hmmm never thought about those "dark" corners of cities before...
AFter a 20min detour got into Regen'ts Park and walked through the greenery to Primerose Hill for one of hte best vantage points of the Downtown core. (like St.clair looking down at Yonge/Bloor, CN tower). Great view!
Then walked through Marybourne borough, then all the way to Tower of London.
The scam doesn't work, so I just turned around and walked to oxford street.
The walk along North Bank, NOT as beautiful as Southbank.
Went out for flatmates birthday!!!
End now - expanding on previous updates over the weekend (while I'm in Southampton!)
