"I'm not leaving London because I was wrong"

No pictures this time I'm afraid, but a small victory.

One of the articles that inspired me to create this blog was this article from Australian Fairfax Travel writer Ben Groundwater ("London calling? Not to us, not any more")

Now it seems that Ben has somewhat retracted the article in light of him witnessing the sight and sound spectacle that is the Notting Hill Carnival ("The truth about London: I was wrong")

It's actually a great read and sums up my feelings about why really I love London

Okay, back to posting pictures! I'm still not leaving London :)
