Postcard Friday Nr. 11

Shad Thames, London Vintage photo courtesy of Mark Adams This edition of Postcard Friday features a rather vintage photo than an actual postcard. Nevertheless, fellow pontist Mark Adams brought this to the attention recently and therefore, it is being showcased. It’s one place where despite my last visit to London and having crossed the Tower Bridge, it’s a best kept secret that one should…

PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN LONDON OR HAVE BEEN THERE!

Hi! I'll soon be in London for a few days, for the very first time. My idea is not to really plan anything, I just wanna walk around and see what this city is like. I pinned down some places I wanna visit (inspired mostly by The Beatles, Sherlock, Good Omens, Doctor Who and other british series).

Could you tell me if I'm missing something or if there are things I should avoid? Really, any do's and don'ts, I would really appreciate it. + Big Ben + Broadgate Tower + Buckingham Palace + Carlton House Terrace + Harrods + King's Cross + London Eye + Leinster Gardens + Piccadilly Circus + Reform Club + Savini at Criterion + Scotland Yard + Southbank Skate Space + Speedy's Sandwich Bar & Cafe + St Bartholomew's Hospital + St James the Less Church + St Paul's Cathedral + The Ritz Restaurant + Tower of London + Westminster + British Museum + Lincoln's Inn Library + Madame Tussauds + National Gallery + Natural History Museum + Battersea Park + Crystal Palace Park + Finsbury Park + Hyde Park + St. James's Park + Tavistock Square Gardens + West End + Royal National Theatre + Shakespeare's Globe + The Old Vic + Young Vic + Camden Town + Chinatown + Covent Garden + More London + Shad Thames + Soho + 44 Eaton Square + Berkeley Square + Russell Square + Trafalgar Square + Tower Bridge + Waterloo Bridge + Westminster Bridge + 3 Savile Row + 10 Downing St + 187N Gower St + 221B Baker St + Abingdon St + Berwick St + Whitfield St + Abbey Rd. + Cardwell Rd + Crayford Rd + Heddon St + Hornsey Rd + Eastfields Ave Also, some questions: - What's the weather like now? What should I wear? - Which are the districts I should avoid? - Should I be worried about public transport? - Where and when should I have afternoon tea? - Can I access the British Museum just to have tea/eat? - Any other suggestions on where to eat? Thank you so so much to whoever answers, either under this post or in private! 🙏

On the London itinerary topic: I strongly confirm the anon's recommendation to visit Hampstead and Horizon 22 viewing platform. To add a few of my favorites: go hunting for colorful houses, e.g. at Primrose Hill or Notting Hill. If you are into Street art: Shoreditch or Leake Street Arches. A lovely stroll along Little Venice canals and along Shad Thames (Bermondsey district), and a classic British Pub experience I would recommend further. I always like to visit The Angel for Sunday Roast and small Barista cafés for a nice coffee break. Enjoy London, it has so much vibe to offer off the beaten tourist paths especially. And Val, I hope you will have the chance to visit one day! Stay positive!

Thank you so much, anon!

Outside the Anchor Brewhouse, Shad Thames, London ...

The first time Thera saw him, she was heading off on a late afternoon run, across the Bridge, around the Tower and back. There wasn’t much unusual about a cab driver parked on the street by Butler’s Wharf - his ‘taxi’ light was off, so perhaps he was pre-booked and waiting, or maybe just taking a break.

He was still there when she got back, and she stopped a second to check her watch, in case she’d unconsciously beaten her own best time. But ... no. Still a good half-hour had gone by, and her jaw shifted thoughtfully as she skimmed her keycard to get back into the block. It took a little bit of effort to keep a weather eye on that side of the building, the apartment designed to have most of the windows facing the river, but she sneaked a peek from time to time as afternoon drifted toward evening - and even though he moved the car to a different spot, he was still there.

Hmm. Whoever he was, he probably wasn’t just an ordinary cabbie.

Cleaned up after her run, Thera went downstairs and took the short walk to the local store, where she bought a few things, including an extra-large espresso coffee with milk and sugar sachets on the side, and a burger with the lot. Then she walked back, strolled up alongside the cab and tapped her knuckle against the driver’s side window. “Here.” She held up her purchases to indicate they were for him, “You look like you’re planning to be there all night.”

The End of a Dream

I can hardly believe that in 5 days, I have to close this chapter in the book of my life. For the past 2 years, I've been living as a student in London, a surreal, an escape, from my life as a banker. Having been one for the past 10 years. a student life certainly was a bizarre yet enticing life. No morning calls, it's mostly play with very intense studying in the exam seasons. Although the academic pressure certainly got to me a lot more than the professional one, the carefree and all-for-myself weekend was too hard to let go.

Here I am, sitting at my first fav Starbucks in this city, the one at Shad Thames. Well, I certainly have a soft spot for Tower Bridge. I will miss it the most. In fact, there are some things that I will miss the most from the past 2 years:

The 3pm sunset in winter.

The really nice weather of winter.

Not having to drive everywhere.

Uberboats!

Strolling along the riverbank.

The beautiful sunset over the parliament.

Sushinoen <3

The postmen park.

Student discounts <3

The beautiful sounds of musical instrument you will hear when you walk around the Greenwich University.

The musicals.

So, so many more things, but I have to admit, London has left me jaded. I used to love this city with all of my heart, but two years living here has left me disillusioned. The very subtle discrimination and racism, the blatant disregard towards those who are less fortunate..

I think it would do me good to leave this country for awhile, after all, isnt distance will make heart goes fonder? Sometimes distance is all we need.

So, let's go back to our real-world life.

Thank you London, you've been amazing.
