Here's a sample of the millions of photos I took whilst in Europe. Part I is London... watch for more from Oxford, Paris, Lyon, Brussels, Amsterdam, Lausanne and Geneva.

Great job Ganj!

I feel like I just took a 3-minute trip through the West End and Camden.
 
And look how clean the old buildings are now, especially in the tourist areas in the heart of the old imperial city. When The Infant Babel lived in London in the 1950's they would've been filthy dirty! There were dreadful smogs too - in 1952 an estimated 4,000 Londoners died from smog. They passed the Clean Air Acts of 1956 and 1968 as a result.
 
Why do we say "steak house" and they say "steak houses"?
 
I think Enviro's got it. No different from "Firkin Pubs".

BTW, great shots! So much better than mine! :p
 
Good lord it's England but you can actually see some skin!
 
Anything over 20 degrees counts as a heatwave. More than 3 inches of snow and it is a blizzard.

But oh how lovely it can be to have daffodils and snowdrops in February, and mild autumns that can stretch into December, and seasons that change gently and slowly.
 
More than 1 inch of snow is a blizzard, in Scotland. London freaks out at a snow flake.
 
Nice. I miss a bit of London every single day.

If i could somehow split time between Toronto and London (and maybe Malta) I would be quite happy. Though i'm happy in Toronto as it is.

Seeing it on the television so much lately, even for bad reasons, has made me miss it more.

London's not the cloudly foggy place it once was. It's sunny a lot. My finest moment last year, in april, was walking through Hyde Park on a saturday afternoon - thousands of people laying around under the spring sun, me listening to a tight rotation of new Franz Ferdinand and Morrissey songs on XFM. I walked from Camden diagonally across the city to south of Chelsea where I was staying. For the first time I understood how the city was stitched together. The best walk i've ever taken. I stopped for daytime pints along the way. I never drink here during the day.

Me three. Watching the TV last night I said to my housemate, "I've got to get back to Europe". Problem is, I'm always saying that.
