This is it. I am leaving my beloved London for the next seven to nine months. I doubt I will find another city like it, the diversity, the buzz. I love that you can be exactly what you want to be, nobody cares. If I run  around in my monkey onesie, nobody even looks up. But we will see, I am looking forward to seeing so many more great cities and places.

Pictures you can see are some random London favourites that were taken in the last few months and also my room as I left it empty on Wednesday, 1 July. Plus a last shot before I got into the BA flight from Heathrow to Basel that same day
