Life in Europe #32

Follow your instinct without a map
ロンドン散策① [London, UK]

I was surrounded by some of the most iconic skyscrapers in London. One of which is of course The Gherkin. It is indeed a massive cucumber!! As I continued meandering along, I found myself in the histroric Victorian building, Leadenhall Market, where I came across my favourite shop in the world - Diptyque! (I've been collecting their candles for 13 years) What a surprise find!!

ロンドンの金融街、超高層ビル郡のど真ん中を歩いていると、通称ガーキン(きゅうりの形のビル)が目の前に現れました。近くで見ると本当に巨大なきゅうりがギラギラしていて、かっこいい!小道を抜けていくと、今度はビクトリア建築のレドンホールマーケットに迷い混みました。ここがハリー・ポッターの撮影場所かーと感心しながらぶらぶらしていると、目に留まったのは、、、なんと私が大大大好きなお店、Diptyque!(10年以上Diptyqueのキャンドルや香水を買い集めています)えー、こんなところで出逢えるとは!! ちょっと感動。

London is a very walkable city. You always end up walking everywhere because there is always a little alley way leading somewhere.... and you find something inspirational along the way. This city is like a big treasure hunt. My recommendation is just follow your instinct without a map. You'll end up finding something you love.

to be continued..

ロンドン散策の醍醐味は、地図も見ず直感に従って歩き、小道から小道へと迷い混んでいくと、かならず素敵な何かが目の前に現れること。未来都市のような光景が広がったり、歴史的建築物に囲まれたり、小道の片隅にかわいいショップを見つけたりできること。街全体がトレジャーハント!
