I'm missing my vacation today. In honor of that, I am posting pictures of beautiful London while listening to Ian Dury's "Plaistow Patricia' very loud (Thanks ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
luckysaddle for reminding me of that song.)
This was the view out the window of the room I was staying in. I'm glad there were tower blocks in the distance so I knew I was in London. I love tower blocks. But then, I've never had to live in one. I do know that even if many are expensive and privately owned now, the lifts still smell like piss.
Here's the back view. Council flats are so cute!
This was the Greenway that I walked on every day on the way to the tube. Well, when it was daylight at least. It's basically a sewer line that the city grew grass over and paved a little strip for bikes and pedestrians. I wish I had taken a picture of the really cute orange and pink-painted tower block off to the right but I didn't really have the nerve. What was the line? Expensive holiday in other people's misery!
I will end with an uplifting statue in Stratford. I can't remember what it actually said, but for me it says, "nothing to lose but our chains, people!"
