So, my favorite city in the world is London. And I was a bit sad today that I A) don't have any pictures online of myself there to share and B) haven't been there since MARCH of 2004. This is ridiculous... I need to plan a trip there soon. Maybe even for a long weekend in the fall, when the prices drop.

Without further ado, here's a random list of what I miss:

- Hobnobs

- drinking tea

- my ridiculous washer/dryer 1-unit combo that ruined all my clothes

- riding the train nightly across the Thames

- minding the gap

- Sisters Avenue flat with a rooftop, Mary Poppins-style view

- pound for a pint nights

- all the world's accents in one Tube carriage

- Camden Market

- for that matter, Portobello Road, too... and Brick Lane

- heck, shopping in general

- affordable, world-class theater

- Royal National Theater

- Time Out's music guide

- CDs coming out a day earlier than the US

- Battersea Arts Centre

- IC's campus off of Gloucester Road

- Bill Sheasgreen

- Wagamama's (luckily, the first US ones opened up this summer here in Boston!)

- cheap flights anywhere and the Continent only two-and-a-half hours away

- six-hour workdays

- no working on weekends

- softball in the park

- being able to be considered a baller on the courts, simply 'cause I could dribble with both hands

- racy telephone booth adverts

- Holy Trinity Brompton

- Charlotte Street

- 1 pound Asda pizzas

- calibrating my water heater

- smoking fags

- obnoxious exchange rates


- meeting up in pubs, instead of coffee shops


- St. Martin-in-the-Fields

I've probably got more... anyone else live in London before? What do you miss? Comment back...
