Camden

Last week sometime, we headed off to Camden for the day. It was totally brilliant, especially for the weird gimmick geeks that Gareth and I are. The above map was in a Starbucks that we stopped at to warm up. I have come to the conclusion that there are no spoons in all of England. They give you a cup of coffee or hot choc with piles of cream and a stirring stick the width of a toothpick. How, precisely, is the mountain of cream meant to be consumed? I've now got a system where I utilise about three stirring sticks together to make a spoon-like contraption. I refuse to drink my cream. And stirring stick things just push the sugar around instead of dissolving anything. Pshhh.
There are plenty of goth, tattoo and punk shops around, all equipped with some kickass displays.
The doggy in the pic below is the size of a couch. It's awesome. I want one. Won't fit in the luggage though.

There are plenty of flea markets around as well. In fact most of it seems to be that. I bought tons of rubbish. Cool clothes, bags, etc.

And below is the only photograph permitted of the coolest, wackiest shop in the universe. Inside is custom, original-designed clothing and merchandise that fits the term Cyberpunk. The clothing is all plastic/latex supershiny, luminiscent with neon spikes and quirky zips and electronic attachments. Think exactly the kind of clothing they wore in Hackers. And Rollerball. And I mean EXACTLY. And the staff are works of art on their own entirely. Pierced, punked, tattooed, neoned and full make-up. They look astounding. Very very cooooool!!

I saw a doggie like that in a shop in Canal Walk (CT). I'm not sure of the shop name but when I go there again I'll take a look - maybe even sneak a peek at the price tag too!
