From Kilburn to
Sainthood – Exploring London’s creative side
A persistent shade of blue is tearing apart London’s
notoriously grey skies and beckoning me out. A native Californian, even in
London I never go out without sunglasses. This garners me a welcome collection
of smiles from curious unshaded onlookers. A friendly “that’s all right dear,”
from a friendly passerby as I click photos of my neighborhood, a Britishism
applicable most anytime, forces me to respond with my own charmed smile. And
leads me to reflect on one of the reasons I love England so.
