Hampstead
If you'd asked me a month or so ago what my favorite part of London was, I would've said, without question, that it was Hampstead. This is probably still true (hence the photo above), but my allegiance has been shifting recently to Shoreditch and the City. They're farther away, so I hadn't spent so much time there at the beginning of my year in London, but they have a tremendous array of architecture, history, people, little winding back alleys, and (most importantly) pubs. Still, I'm sticking to Hampstead for the moment.
I have posted this picture before, but it also happens to be my best (or, rather, most representative) picture the Hampstead / Gospel Oak area. The Brits seem to have some real hang-ups about class, so the ones I know tend to turn their noses up when I talk about how much I love pricey Hampstead, but nothing will ruin my enjoyment of those Victorian terraced houses. And the Heath! Oh, the Heath!

One New Change
A lot of the London blogs I follow, including many of the City Daily Photo ones, have been featuring this new shopping center near St. Paul's Cathedral. It's called One New Change. Not sure why. I like this shot of St. Paul's reflected in the shining glass cathedral of consumerism. Oh, how desperately poetic.

A FEW RANDOMS
Draperies, Furnishings, Boats?
I always notice this building on Camden High Street on my bus ride home but have never managed to grab a picture of it until now. The building doesn't hold this home furnishings company any more. I think there's an Argos there, probably an HSBC Bank, etc. But I like that they kept the rather pretty tile work in place. Too bad I had to snap this picture through the bus window and so it's not the best quality. Maybe when I have more time someday (and a bit of sun?), I'll stop back and shoot it again.

Roman Amphitheatre
The Roman Amphitheatre was discovered unexpectedly when the London Guildhall was building their new gallery. At first, they were a bit annoyed as it ruined their plans for an underground parking lot. But they've since turned it into one of the major attractions of the Art Gallery. The interpretation is interesting, to say the least, neon green gladiators and all.

Roman Wall
Hurrrrraayyy! My laptop is fixed! So I bring you a couple shots of Roman London.
This is a rather impressive bit of the London Wall that encircled most of the City in Roman times. You can find it around about Houndsditch way, I think.
Check us out tomorrow to see bits of the Roman amphitheatre in London.
