Walking Across London

Walking west across London, through Maida Vale, Kensal Rise, Willesden, Harlesden, Neasden, Park Royal, Alperton, then south to Ealing and Kew. A highlight was walking along the Grand Union Canal (where Mitzpah had an argument with a pair of swans) and crossing a bridge over the North Circular. I’ve driven under there countless times and never realised that what was passing across above me was a canal. How diverse London is: we crossed from Muslim to Hindu heartland, then later as we passed a church towards sunset heard a sermon amplified in Polish.
