It is like Oxford Street but grungy. Apparently on weekends to prevent overcrowding, you can't get on the tube there - only off.

I knew that, but it's not the sort of place I visit.

Talking of which, I'm in town the Sunday after next, to do a few museums; languish meet up?  :whistle:

Camden Town truly is a miserable place, no?
It's great if you're a teenager in a provincial town just outside London. Otherwise it's awful.

I'll be around but you know with the rest of them it is like herding cats. ;)

I've disliked Camden Town for over 30 years, but kept quiet about it and simply never returned after a couple of tedious visits. It is immensely heartening to find that other people think it is shit as well  :cool:

I don't understand the point for adults. Same shops but in shit surroundings. Hardly alternative.

We really should have a photography thread and have people contributing to it.

Maybe better if only animals could contribute?

Salt Lake is a beautiful town, but I haven't had a chance to take any pics. We were going to go drive up to Park City yesterday, but I wasn't in the mood. I didn't realize just how much money the Mormon church has. Their properties here are opulent.



I didn't take this one.

Went up to Town today to do some museums: National Gallery, British Museum, British Library, Welcome, Science, Natural History and V&A, probably walked about 13-14 miles, so would have turned into a bit of Languish Death March if any Languishites had been invited.  :D


London is definitely on high alert, bag searches everywhere, and armed police deployed seemed ready to fire if you see what I mean.

You did all that in one day?  :wacko:
