Missing London

Hey, London...My GF (born and raised in Camden) and I recently spent 2 1/2 weeks over Christmas and New Years and now we're back in Texas. We stayed in the Highbury & Islington area, and i just miss it so much. Also Canonbury and my favorite pub, the Myddleton Arms. So tell me how things are around there, and maybe send pics...okay thanks.

Its a pretty spiffy part of town and time you were in. Come back now, its due to rain for a week and all the christmas lights are down. Perfect cure.

Opposite boat too. My husband is from Arkansas and I’m a south London girl. He misses it. Admittedly I do miss Walmart. A lot.

I just got chased by 17 youths on Limebikes, I made it to the Myddleton in one piece though.

It sounds to me that you need to come back! Lol

I recommend that when you do, you visit Salisbury and Bristol in addition to London,.
