When I first arrived in London, I used to spend my free time taking strolls (or doing training runs) along the River Thames, at London's Southbank. From what I know, the area used to be rife with criminals and vagrants. It has since metamorphosed into a haven for art, food, and relaxation.
I never really felt lonely in London, not because I always had company, but rather, due to the fact that I am used to existing in solitude. Walks and runs help me clear my mind. To go on such in utterly scenic surroundings helps calm me even more.
I'll miss going to the BFI centre to watch free archival film footage, and browse through the institute's gift shop. I'll miss getting mulled wine from stalls during the winter time. I'll miss looking at the city lights from across the way.
Where words fail me, memories and the radiance of the future inspire me.
