1. Oxford Street and Topshop and H&M are all crap.
2. Brick Lane is very bad if you go in the wrong direction down takeaways-r-us lane...marginally better (if only for Rough Trade, which would be much improved if I had some money) if you go the right way...
3. Covent Garden is nice, but would be nicer, if, when after spending hours searching for it, Rough Trade was in the place you thought it'd be...
4. Fenchurch St station is good for nothing! Nothing! Especially when the circle line is blocked/delayed etc and you have no idea where any other station is.
5. The amount of Starbucks in London outweigh the number of people in Cornwall by approximately 5:1.
6. Crossing the road is quite stressful.
7. The Scala has cack sound, but Of Montreal were amazing.
8. The escalator in Holburn station is frighteningly huge!
9. Can someone tell me where the American Apparel shop is?
10. I had grey snot at the end of the day...
re. point 10.
I always get that after a trip to London. Massively disgusting. :(
american apparel
there's one at the end of carnaby street in soho, and one on curtain road in shoreditch.
there are also two other stores, but i don't know where they are. i think one may be in knightsbridge, but i've never been there nor indeed to..
