My excitement mounts as I am only a few steps away from visiting England for the first time.
From Heathrow Airport to the Belsize Park station, the tube delivers us to this charming street and our first home in London.
Julie stops to make a call, en route to our B&B.
Our first London home, at 34 Primrose Gardens, was somewhat encased in scaffolding but still terrifically charming.

Julie's grimace is that of a woman schlepping a heavy suitcase up the steps of an old-school staircase. Charm has it's price.
Near our B&B, was Joe's — garishly painted and peppered in adverts. I was stoked to see that the Ministry of Sound, a famous dance club from the nineties (known to me because of its legendary sound system), was still very active.
In the window of Joe's was this killer poster for a ska fest that I would have loved to attend if the dates had been right.
I didn't expect to see house-boat living in London, but here it is. Super groovy — like the barges along the Seine, in Paris.
This retro-modern houseboat would be my first choice, stylistically, if I was a barge-dwelling Londoner.
Wow, this crazy old trough was a source of drinking water for man AND beast. Imagine slurping away next to a horse!
Say what you want about Sir George Stuart White, he was certainly not Boering. Google away if you have no life.
