Tourist in the UK

I went to London on Monday to get my visa processed. All went well and they are due to send it back to me by Tuesday of next week!
This did leave me with a whole day, armed with a Tube-pass, in London. I decided to take a wonder and enjoy the novelty of being out of Hampshire, and of being a stranger.
I hopped the train to Embankment and found a coffee shop somewhere just off of Strand, I felt distinctly wanker-ish reading my book whilst having a huge cup of coffee, I'm used to doing these things with other people.
There is, however, something freakishly liberating about being in a big city by oneself and having no agenda. I was flanked on every side by suits, students, tourists and workers. Where did I fit in?
Metropolitian life is new to me, I'll have to get used to the crush in a short space of time!

  1. This day sounds marvelous to me. No agenda. Noone else's agenda. Perfect.
