The London (Un)Scene

Day 3 in London, but it feels like I just got here. We slept in a bit this morning after a late night but we made plans yesterday to get a few things done today so we pulled ourselves out of bed and made good use of the afternoon.

Today we went to Camden Town to check out this really cool hippy vegan bar/cafe that I have unfrotunately forgotten the name of. It had kind of a psychadelic vibe to it with low-base music and black lights. We spent a good few hours there starting with a vegan lunch and then onto beers and cocktails. We then did some walking around the Camden Town Market where you can find everything from tweed paintings to spin sets to superhero figurines haha. Rossy was really in his element! Unfortunately we had to cut it a bit short because it was time to go home to get ready for the night.

Tonight Kyle, another one of Nimmy's friends, is deejaying at a venue called East Village. He's warming up for two of London's top deejays so it should be an awesome night. After East Village we're going to a party called Low Key that has a strict guest list of about a hundred people who are all friends and friends of friends, etc. Luckily I have a friend's name to use a to get me in, but it's a party that unless you know someone in the London party scene you would never even know about. As Nimmy puts it, "This is what living in London is really like".

I really love it here and I'm sad I have to leave on Monday but I'm sure I'll make it back here again soon. Up next: DUBLIN! :)
