We are living very comfortably in Palace Gardens Terrace, near Hyde Park. Our terrace flat looks across to identical white Victorian-fronted buildings as far as the eye can see.
Just down the road are Kensington Gardens, which in turn becomes Hyde Park, then St James Park.
The past two days Kensington and Notting Hill have been alive with Europe's biggest street Festival, which celebrates world cultures with street parades, ethnic food and dance. The area is absolutely teeming with revelers and performers and it's one big party on the streets.
At midday we made our way through thousands of people to get to Hyde Park, past Buckingham Palace and on to Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. London weather is overcast and we've had some light rain, although things cleared up this afternoon when we took an open-topped bus through the city, passing the Tower Bridge, London Eye and the Temple, Cleopatra's Needle and the Embankment.
Tomorrow - the British Museum and particularly the Egyptian collection. Some of Carter's finds from the Tutankhamun expedition are housed here. Excited!
