meanwhile in London | grounded in Helsinki

Amanda and Imogen are in London this week. Today Amanda gave a free gig (free gig!) in Village Underground in Shoreditch. On Thursday and Friday Imogen will be recording her new song in A Room For London in the Southbank Centre. Me? Exploring the city as usual and... sneaking in suburbia. Will I be grounded in Helsinki like Dickens in London? ;) Other highlights of the day: funny encounters and a spontaneous snack somewhere downtown plus preparing for my first DJing. These days could just be lasting forever!



The person who is most grounded in London is Dickens, and one of the reasons for that is he used to walk to school from Camden, which is quite near me, to his grammar school, which was something like five miles away, every single day, through the whole of the city, and then back again.  Zadie Smith
