So here I am in London, (the above picture is London from ground level, and coincidentally quite close to where we're staying, so please excuse the lack of lame pictures of Buckingham palace etc) it's a wonderful place. I'm more interested in seeing all pop culture history around the place. For example, yesterday I walked down Carnaby Street (as mentioned in the Kinks' "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" and the fashion centre of the 60's) then checked out Savile Row (location of the Beatles' Apple Corps. offices in the 60's, as well as where they played their final show on the rooftop) ... I've been to the Good Mixer too (famous watering hole for Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty amongst others) and I stood outside the 100 Club too... Is it strange that I'm more interested in the pop culture history of London rather than the 'history' history? Oh well, it's probably because I haven't been to all the "historical" places yet...
