Fulham Road, Chelsea
Only a couple of hours ago I was in Fulham Road, Chelsea, London.
I found an intense appreciation for the area creeping up on me. I left
Fulham Road for the Clapham Junction area. Clapham Junction was
cemented in my mind as a busy, functional area. Some parts of London
can fill you with monotony, while others can recharge you, especially
when you have not been there for a while.
This in celebration of Fulham Road, Chelsea. These are pictures I took
at 8pm with my mobile. Not very high-res, not very clear, but they convey
the atmosphere, I hope.
Chelsea has the wonderful independent library Daunt Books. I loved
being inside Daunt Books; it was very well lit, the selection of
books made my mouth water (or is it mind?). I crave the day when a
similar bookshop opens in Cairo. (Whether it would be profitable is a
different story.)
Fulham Road's Cineworld cinema is still a key landmark, along with
the antique shops. The restaurants change, but always fashionable.
Sainsbury's and Marks & Spencers - a must. And the estate agents.
No economic downturn here!
