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!
