Closestblonde Presents....the Is Series in London

London is....

The Top Shop flag store on Oxford Circus.

Reading that drinking was actually legal on the tube in the free London paper.


(Isn't it common sense that eating and drinking shouldn't be allowed on public transport, let alone drinking alcohol....?)

Waking up obscenely early to avoid having to wait in line for half a day at touristy sights.....

....to then check out the view of London from Saint Paul's cathedral. (It was a 530 step climb.)


Waking up at an ungodly hour to be number 1591 in the queue, with minimal makeup and shit hair.

So notorious is the Wimbledon line, that they even give you a guide on queueing for Wimbledon and a sticker that says, "I've been in the Wimbledon Line".


Is watching Federer warm up on court and....


...and having the opportunity to grope Safin but not doing so, and then realising that I should have, as it started raining right around 12noon anyway so it wouldn't have mattered if I had been "kindly escorted" out of the complex.

Eating strawberries and cream on Henman Hill.

....Cupcakes @ the Hummingbird Bakery on Portobello Road
