Our first few days in London were spent sussing out Soho. Every shop has levels going up and down filled with clothes, shoes and bags. I was overwhelmed which in turn limited my purchasing ability. It took a day to soak in the enormity of the city, the amazing people walking by and the stacks of side streets tucked away.
The city itself is hectic. Huge double-decker buses just making it around corners. Black cabs making abrupt turns, sporadically changing their direction. Our first ride in a black cab was a 20 minute ride from Soho to Bow and we felt like we could crash at any moment. He was in and out of his lane, turning at full speed and these are the drivers that have trained for four years and cost 30 pounds!
