“My first visit to London was in March 2001, and I’d been itching to get back ever since. I finally made it happen ten years later. Upon my arrival at Heathrow, I took the Heathrow Express to Paddington Station, and then the tube to Notting Hill to get checked in to my room. Despite being severely jet-lagged, I needed to get out and start exploring the city. These photos are from the trip over, as well as the walk I took through Kensington and a few other spots around town.”
