The Villages of London
For this assignment we were to visit one of the villages of London, either Wimbledon or Hampstead Village. I chose to go to Wimbledon.
We took the tube to Wimbledon. It was strange to see the city giving way to green parks and trees, and to realize that we were still in London. It was a piece of a country village within a busy city. The hustle and bustle seemed to melt away. It was a perfect day to go as well; the sun was shining and warm. We walked around and looked at the houses and cars. I say looked, but it was more like marveled. I lost count of the number of Rolls Royces that drove past me. The houses are big and you can just smell the money that has gone into them. We went into the shops and found many antiques.
For lunch we debated going to the Dog & Fox, but scraped that idea as it was such a nice day. Then we thought of going to Tesco and having a picnic in a huge park. However we found a health food store and they brought out fresh baguettes. Being put on the shelf, they were still warm. So we each grabbed a baguette for a quid. It was fantastic just eating the warm, fresh bread in the warm sunlight and walking around admiring the sights.
