.. the stronger than normal pull of the escalators going down to the Central line.
.. how the wind rushes through the stairs and passages of the underground as trains roll along.
.. the way people move slower in the rain on Oxford street.
.. how the nights can be warmer than the days as the jet stream surges through.
.. the speed at which the clouds barely 100 yards over the buildings zoom past at night, making the entire city seem in motion.
.. how much the English babble when out for a pint.
.. the path from Trafalgar square to Soho, until I stopped thinking about it and just walked, winding up where I wanted to be.
.. to look above the crowds on the sidewalks to avoid walking into people.Making eye contact and adjusting doesn't work here.
.. what the displays on said Oxford street look like at Christmas time, and what creativity goes into putting those all together.
.. the cacophony of languages being spoken on the street and in the buses.
.. that I love being in London amidst all the chaos.
