Maybe It's Because I'm a North Londoner

I've become a North Londoner for the first time. Still refusing to take part to the childish North-South feud, I'm exploring my new neighbourhood. With an autumn like this, it's pure awesomeness! 

Hampstead Heath is my new hood. My beautiful park is surrounded
by houses of the rich and unapproachable. 

After a truly horrid summer, we've been treated with a
lovely autumn. Still not too cold for picnic in late October!

South London is oh, so far away!

Maybe It's Because I'm a South Londoner

Last weekend my favourite SE London street celebrated its village fête in the form of Bermondsey Street Festival. 


Bermondsey Street is full of lovely little boutiques, design studios, bars, cafes and restaurants and it's a living proof that you don't have to (or shouldn't?) go to Shoreditch to find cool London. 


My favourites on the street include The Garrison Public House and the beer garden of The Woolpack. Kind words have also been said about the newcomers Jose Tapas Bar and Zucca, not to forget the independent cinema Shortwave. Enjoy! 

The Bermondsey Street Festival was all about dogs...

... the hog roast by The Garrison ....

... and of course about the people.

London at its best for me isn't about cool gigs and trendy hipsters. It's about random things and people that make you smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And free things, like last weekend's Thames festival on South Bank.

Coconut King's business was thriving

She really enjoyed al fresco tango on the Thames. Random.

We wanted to be the sky

Words fail me. How could she be anything but happy?
