Re: London
Highgate and Hampstead are similiar. (near to Muswell Hill) Nice areas, a bit away from the busy city centre.
By the way, didn't Benedict use to live in Hampstead? Or still does?

Re: London
I was under an impression he still does.

See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: London
Yes I know Hampstead slightly better and it is nice.
Yes Benedict does still live there
But not by choice!
He bought a new house last year.
But he's spent the last months battling with planners, to get done the work he wants.

Yes he does a street below Parliament Hill.

Re: London
Parliament Hill?!
That sounds like it should be by Westminster!
Anyhow, he won't be staying, once he gets the new place fixed up!

Re: London
You are right, sounds like it. 
It's on the south side of Hampstead Heath and there's a wonderful farmer's market that is worth visiting.

Re: London

We stayed there once because it isn't far away from the O2 Arena where we visited a concert. Unfortunately we hadn't much time. We managed to go to the market, which was rebuild at this time, for a short stay and had a nice chat with one of the traders. Have definitely to go to Greenwich again.

Re: London
London is absolutely beautiful.
The first time I went I was enchanted. Despite the rainy weather, there was something really nice about it.
Hope to go back soon.
