London part 2

It looks like things have gone back to normality, at least in London. Yesterday the city was busy as usual. There was definitely more police around, but the atmosphere was not tense.
What will happen now? Talking to friends, we are all shocked by what happened. Unfortunately there will always be people who take these kind of opportunities. The worry is they are increasing in numbers due to social inequality, child poverty levels etc.

I hope this is a wake up call for a turnaround rather than a marker of the future.

Riots in London

I cannot get over the madness that's going on in London. People are looting and trashing the city. It's sad and scary, it looks like the crowds are mainly made up of teenagers without a sense of society. How sad. I hope things will get better soon..

Looking forward to..



This rooftop view in London!

The new shopping mall in the City is not only great for retail therapy- but also for food and amazing views. The One New Change building has been designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect, Jean Nouvel. The modernist building has 6,500 floor-to-ceiling glass panes in varying shades of red, grey and beige, flooding the floors with natural light. 4,300 of which are unique pieces. It's open everyday from 7AM till late..I am definitely looking forwards to many meeting up on the terrace!
