You would look a little better
Don't you know
If you just wore less make-up

My last evening in London..
Gosh, I miss it already!
London is by far my favourite place in the world.
And it's really starting to feel like home (:

The upcoming days, when I'll be back in Holland,
I will still be posting London stuff,
because there is so much more that I wanna show you guys!
(Places where you must go, all the things I bought, etc..)

So, in that way, London will be here for a while longer!

Yaaay.

(hahaha, weird picture)

Waking up in a lovely bed in London, morning sunshine while having a walk, listening to very comforting music..

Just when I thought this moment couldn't be any more perfect, I saw this Volgswagen bus that I fell in love with. Meet my love:

Yesterday, I've been to the Museum of London,
to see the exposition of London streetphotography.
I had to wait in the qeue for an hour, but it was totally worth it!
Streetphotography of London from 1860, 'till now.
Incredibly inspiring, I can recommand it to everyone who lives in/near London, or is visiting London in the upcoming month!

Because I was so impressed, I bought a book with most of the photos in it.
And now I can show you a few pictures that I liked the most.
(I took the pictures from my book, so the photos are a bit distorted)

Well, as I promised..
Places you must go when you visit Camden:

Berty & Gerty
(https://www.bertyandgerty.co.uk/)

Camden has 3 Berty & Gerty shops: one for clothers, one for shoes, bags & stuff like that, and the other one for a bit of everything.
There are a lot of vintage shops at Camden (that I can recommand ALL! seriously, just visit all of them hehe), but I like Berty & Gerty the most.
They have really much different kinds of stuff and the prices are really nice!
Yesterday I bought a fake fur coat and a ring there.. I will post pictures of those later, but for now, pictures of the shop!





Proud Camden
(http://www.proudcamden.com/)

Proud is an art gallery that Tisha and I both looove! Everytime we've been to London, we visited Proud. They have artcollections of concert photography (wich I love, as you all know!). This time, they had a serie of Metallica; both on stage, and backstage. The photos were amazing, as always.
But Proud is not only a gallery, but also a nice place to relax. Hot beverages and food are available, and each stable has HD flat screen TVs. And like that isn't enough, they also have a vast selection of DVDs and PS3 video games you can choose from or Xbox Rock Band. The venue is transformed into a live music venue and bar from 7.30pm, with each night hosting music . Known for its commitment to programming the very best live music- Peter Doherty, Dizzee Rascal, The Kooks, Stereophonics, and Johnny Borrell all have played intimate sets. The bar has developed a cult following and become a celebrity hang-out, with regulars Amy Winehouse, Sadie Frost, Carl Barat, and The Arctic Monkeys.




Starbucks
(http://www.starbucks.com/)

Well, I don't think I need to explain what Starbucks is? Hehe.
But I must say, I think the starbucks in Proud is the best there is.
The staff is really friendly, the location is very handy, there are enough seats outside and the coffee REALLY tastes better than at any other starbucks: do I need to say more? (:

So,
Today was CAMDEN DAY!
I've been waiting for this moment for ages,
because Camden Town is definately my favourite place to be!
I saved my money from a few months and today,
I got to spend all of it, haha.
I've never bought so much on one day in my life!
But I'm happy with everything!

Really guys,
Camden is not only a place where you can find loads of nice clothes and stuff,
it is also very coasy, hip, cool..
There are people with all kinds of styles;
you see really weird fashion and stuff, really inspiring!
There are nice places to eat,
you have got a lovely art gallery..
So, PLEASE..
When you're in London, VISIT CAMDEN!!

Here are some pictures that I made of Camden today.







Tomorrow I will show you a few places at Camden where you MUST go!

Being here gives me flashbacks of my last time here,
last summer with Tisha!

So, I don't even know if I even told you guys WHY I am in London?
Well, for our school, we have to do a social work placement for 2 weeks.
We can choose weither we'd like to do this in our home country, or in a foreighn country. I chose to do this in London.
Tisha is also doing this in England, but somewhere else: a place near York.

Today is my 3d day of working in the nursery,
and I must say: I quite like it! (:
I love working with kids, the staff is really nice and my working days are not too long (untill 4), so, that leaves me enough time to do things afterwards.
Today I've been to Southbank after my work.
I walked for 2 hours.. Gosh, I love this city so much.
Really, I love every little thing.
I hope these two weeks will last forever, cause I really don't wanna leave again!

But, enough with the talking, here are some pictures I made today (they're a bit blurry, beause of the rain):

first day of my social work placement in a nursery.
Again, too tired so I will tell everything tomorrow.
For now, some more pictures:
