Central London's Infectious Power
The Power of Central London.
Today is my last night in what I call the heart of Central London - at least for the time being. For the past seven days St. Athans Hotel, Travistock Place, Russell Square has been my home, my sanctuary from the fast life around. Its dining room with complimentary breakfast has prepared for the hectic day ahead and the sight of its neon lights in the evening has provided solace after a tiring day of long walks and tube hopping. Tomorrow I move to Notting Hill. Atleast for the next two weeks. I haven’t seen the movie, but the name does ring a bell. I guess I should see it soon.
Lots of ideas have been coming to my head the past few days. In fact my room in St. Athans has been the venue of a couple or so very interesting debates with ex- and current university mate Samad. There’s something very powerful about being in Central London. The city has held significance as a major role-player in the world’s affairs and arguably still does. (A case in point being the large number of people at the helm of political, judicial or economical affairs of various countries of the world having had associations with London). That coupled with the fact that Central London is the very heart of the city has a psychological impact of a rush of ideas to the head. It is truly an amazing feeling.

what you have there, omer, is spam. to avoid it: enable spam protection. it requests a word to be typed out befor someone posts. otherwise, be prepared for TONNES of comments, and none related to your post.
Notting Hill eh. Have watched the movie and it is... a romantic drama :). After central london, it might be a different feeling altogether but its an experience nonetheless. london will always be great for its fish and chips, its Cadbury's Flake soft cone, the cold refreshing weather that slaps ure face and turns u pink. yes. politicians from england know their stuff.
enjoy notting hill.
i assume you'r bogged with uni work?
yo!
I need some help with the spam protection definitely. Wonder if these entries are automatic, or if these guys are at least reading the blog? :)
Notting Hill is prob'ly just the outskirts of the central london (literally too being the last stop in Zone 1). You can smell the Romance in the air. :) But you can also hear the police sirens every now and then. But then, that's london!
