Today we explored Camden to find the Chipperfield office (William's workplace). After walking around Camden for a while, we found William's office. It is a fairly unassuming building. Here is the picture of the outside. William starts work tomorrow.

The transportation in London on the subway or tube is great, but we do a lot of walking around - especially since we are new to the area and are exploring. Ethan has been getting tired of all the walking. So we came up with the idea of getting him a scooter ( a traditional push scooter). This has been one of our best ideas yet. He loves it, and it makes our errands go much faster!

We have an application out for a flat just outside of Highgate Village. The flat is called a "garden flat," because we have a back porch and a front porch or small garden area out front. Highgate Village is an extremely old village which is charming and has many cute pubs, restaurants, and shops. We are close to the tube stop as well and several parks for Ethan. Here is a picture of one of the main streets in the area (Hornsey Road - we will live directly off of this street).

Here is a picture of the street where you will find our flat (Fitzwarren Gardens). It is a ground floor flat (more like a brownstone with one apartment above ours). It is currently being renovated - new flooring (hard wood) paint and tile. We should be able to move in on the 21st of January if all goes as planned.

Above and below our pictures of us standing by the front gate of our flat. The bay window in the background is our front window.

The picture below is of Archway Road - We will live on top of the hill above this major street. Notice central London in the background. Also below are some pictures of me and Ethan at one of the neighborhood parks with a duck pond - Waterlow Park - in the old manse, now in the National Trust, there are community events: small concerts, plays for children, etc.

Notice the gloaming . . . it gets dark here around 4:00pm - that has been a big adjustment!
