London


London needs no introduction. I got a few days in the city during a long layover.

Travel thought: London and New York are the only two Alpha++ global cities. London has cheaper flights from a greater number of countries, so is it more international in the physical realm (compared to the digital or financial realm)?

The most important meal of the day is afternoon tea Tea time

This posh silverware will look lovely in my new kitchen. Oh dear, those prices… Silverware

I wonder who is buying London real estate these days? Saudi license plates

British cuisine looks so delightful. This looks like a light healthy meal. Fish and chips
