Chelsea/Sloane area

[2007.07.06] Today the weather is surprisingly good - as I stepped out of office around 7pm, I saw sunlight with light blue sky for the first time since I arrived London about two weeks ago. I decided to take a walk. My French colleague told me that London is huge, and Paris is tiny. Actually, you can just walk from one place to another place in London. And it is good to walk around so you know how the places connect together. Taking Tube does not make you know any of the neighborhoods.

I started from Victoria station, heading south along Buckingham Palace road. Taking a side street, and turned into Sloane square. Then changed to King’s road toward the river Thames. While walking on Chelsea Embankment from Albert bridge to Chelsea bridge, I just saw a couple of people running or biking. This is the hippe place forty years ago - swinging sixties; now it is very quite.
