London. day 1
I am staying in a hotel off Cromwell Rd in london. I used to live around here in
the late 80s while I was studying at Imperial. Not surprisingly things have changed.
The area around here looks, nicer and more expensive. There is now a Waitrose supermarket as well as Sainsburys. I like the new look European feel to LOndon. Cafes on the pavement are clearly an improvement.
There ssems to be less students and more tourest accomodation, but my memory
is a bit hazy. I guess that the students have moved further out where it is
cheaper.
I still like to walk by the hospitial on Cromwell Rd. I used to imagine that
it was a mental hospital that was waiting for me. In reality it is probably
a meternitity hospital. I could check on google, but I like the light flows out
of the window.
