5x5: The Places I've Loved

26 September 2006

  1. Waterlow Park: An oasis of calm. Tucked away, out of sight of the world around, I could lie on the grassy slopes for hours.
  2. Balans Cafe: Hustle, bustle and Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon (to die for).
  3. Camden Town: I know it's "not as good as it used to be" and a commercial disaster full of emokids most of the time but it still feels like my spiritual home, and I love to sit in the empty market, in the dark, watching the lights reflect off the canal.
  4. The South Bank/Embankment: Especially at night, it's impressive and romantic all at the same time.
  5. The Barbican Centre: Such an aesthetic nightmare that I find it very beautiful, in a strange fascination kind of way.

North London is strange and, therefore, frightening.
