London Pix.

At last — here are the latest photos from my recent trip to London. This was an unorthodox journey, a few days to check out the small gems found off the beaten path (or, in one case, under a bridge!).

I can still feel the chill breeze through the wilderness of Hampstead, where I wandered by accident into the boys’ cruising area only to become even more lost in between vast stretches of heath. And tucked behind the busy streets of London was the Palladian splendor of the Spencer House (below) as well as countless architectural oddities at Sir John Soane’s Museum.

And to finish it all off, I loved the underground feel of Run Sounds‘ minimal techno party at Shunt Vaults, nested within a complex network of tunnels and run by a private collective underneath London Bridge Station. I’ll never forget the sensation of roaming around the dark tunnels, happening upon old pool tables, projectors and listening to the artists set up during sound check… ah, London. ‘Tis wonderful to uncover a few more layers of another great city.
