The second installment in our London farewell comes from the wonderful, enigmatic LC. She has been traveling with me for the past year and so a lot of our experiences in London are shared. We have each had the chance to show each other the little gems that we discover around and about in the city. You can follow her personal adventures at if wishes were kisses.
1. Why did you move to London?
wanted to travel the world with my bff. and it was a place where we could work and save money so we could keep travelling. except the saving money bit really didn't happen.
2. What were your first impressions?
my first impressions were lovely. it was summer and it was hot, and i saw lots of fun touristy things. but i really had no idea how much i would come to love it as i have.
3. Where are your favourite places in this city?
columbia road flower markets, pretty much anywhere around shoreditch, marylebone high st, lamb conduit st, st james park, st pauls cathedral, abney park. oh so many places...
4. What has surprised you most?
how much it feels like home now
5. How has your idea of the city changed since you have been here?
i feel like when i first got here i thought of london as a big city. but now i just feel like really appreciate smaller areas that i have come to know really well. like around holborn and marylebone - the two areas of london where i have worked. and all the streets around adele's work in shoreditch. london doesn't feel so much like a big city to me now, just a series of really amazing areas...
6. If you could transport one piece of London back to Australia with you what would it be?
its a tough decision. its between columbia road and pret a manger. flowers or sandwiches?! i can't decide! adelaide is going to be sad without fresh sunday flowers and delicious sandwiches. (also pret's tomato soup is the BEST, the BEST!)
7. East London Boys: Love them or hate them?
LOVE. how can you hate on pretentious hipsters that are just so good looking?!
