This is nothing to do with shopping nor fashion. Instead, it's something that I picked up from my college mag a couple of weeks ago before I left London. It's kinda funny how those people could unanimously agreed about what's is really going on in London, especially for those who really live in the Borough of Camden (that's where Fitzrovia and part of Bloomsbury is located, fyi).
Anyway, as the article says you know you're in London when...
This is funny, especially when you suddenly lock eyes with someone. 1. You maybe don't have any iPod to play with. 2. You don't have Evening Standard to read, or 3. You already read all the ads in the tube and kinda lost way what to do next! Kinda freaky. Oh, I think I should write on how to crack the code when someone look at you by the street. Just wait for that. :D
I've said about this one many time before. For those who's planning to catch the tube in London, foreigners or even locals - STAND ON THE RIGHT, SILLY!!
IMO, Camden is the only place where you can be yourself, regardless whether you're a rock-n-roll kinda guy, or hippy or punk or etc... etc...coz you can practically see a whole lot in this part of London. I was once offered weeds by someone on the street, which I thought the shopkeeper, right during the daylight. It's kinda 'usual' things to see once at Camden. In my words, you haven't visited London if you haven't gone to Camden! (Oh, I don't take the weeds btw. :D)
The first thing that I think separate London from other European countries that I've been to - you'll never gone dead starving coz there's lots of sandwich shops! But for that £4, you can find it it Subway or some other local deli too. But, anyway... if you don't wanna pay for £4, there's always Sub of the Day, right?
This is another 'don'ts' while in London - walk slow or you'll be hated throught your stay by the locals. Well, at least at Oxford St, coz everybody in London walks gazillion miles per seconds. No, they're not running - it's just a normal power walk! Ahaks! (Walk, walk fashion baby... says Lady Gaga :D)
I have no comment on this. Probably I'm a 'mainstream'. But some Londoners do work it with that hideous their grandad's jumper or nan's table cloth frock. Yikes!
I think it lives up to that reputation if the bus gone pass Euston Road. So far, me taking bus No. 29 right to Warren St, there's no problem. :)
