Yeah by the looks of it you should be! Please take photos and let us know how it is/ was.

Thanks for the link Lando. Funny how these things happen, but I checked out one of the vendors in that piece and discovered a street food market 10 minutes walk from my office where  the line-up of delicious food changes daily. I love how I found out about this after being tipped off by a New Yorker, haha.

invading a pub somewhere in the area of Old Street. my friend and myself brought some Swiss vibe to the locals 

very interesting district there, unfortunately everything closed more or less at midnight (beside the clubs..) but it was a lot of fun

As you see there was blue sky and pretty warm weather that day, thank you London it was beautiful!!

[Giles]

Nice one Davito, not nice that we did not know you were here….....But I was too busy being Pit Pussy anyway....

[davito]

Gmate it would have been too busy yes, I would like to have more time to meet you guys and to plan it better. I'll be back to the UK soon

[davito]

OK I have some last pics for you people

part of Piccadilly Circus

part of Westminster Abbey, very impressive

Big Ben and London Eye in the back. Guys, this London Eye scarred the hell out of me. As a country boy from little Swizzie I am not used to heights like this hahahahaha our highest building in Switzerland measures around the same as London Eye around 136metres. So I was a bit sick LOL but I survived and can tell you it was such a cool experience to go through this half an hour ride. on top it was just beautiful and view was excellent that day as the sun came out.

little tube session for fun

busy Oxford Street. I love big cities and the vibe on their streets

This was our Hotel in the northern Part near Finsbury Park (by Underground one stop after Arsenal, taking Piccally Line). It was safe with a 24h reception. It is a two star rated Hotel but we only needed a bed and a shower as we were running around the city the whole stay.

Hope you enjoyed the little tour.

London, you will not get rid of me
