Musings on London..

Well, on my trip to London for the most recent interview and to go to Russell’s latest coffee morning, I had all manner of interesting conversations with all sorts of people.

It was truly chock-full of bright and intelligent folks, with conversation topics ranging from meeting Steve Henry next week (best of luck with that – shoot me an email and let me know how you get on), to what not to say in an interview (going off on a massive tirade/complimenting ladies on their tops is apparently not best advised), critiques of what I was going to say in the aforementioned interview (thanks very much Jess – by the way, the magazine – Contagious – that she writes for is excellent, check out the link) and a bit of musing on the differences between old school account handling and new-age planning.

One interesting topic that came up with Russell and Jess was that of London geography. Now, not being a Londoner myself – just a humble denizen of Worcestershire at this stage – it was fascinating to learn about the city. For example: What resides at St Giles’s Circus?

Centre Point, according to Russell. Learning about the Blue Points in Soho was also fascinating. I think I’m going to have to purchase Peter Ackroyd’s book on London. Anyway, here are a few snaps of my journey down – featuring a little Regent St and some Berkeley Square – sadly no coffee morning shots. I’ll leave those to Russell’s post.

I’m also going to write about some of the topics discussed in my interview – I’d be really appreciative if the blogsphere felt like chiming in.
