Liverpool Street

Liverpool Street is buzzing with people catching the train to many cities in England and business people working in those high rise office buildings popping up in the area.

Moorgate

Moorgate situated in the City of London is home of investment banks. The day I was there was a weekday so there were people dressed in business suits rushing around. Not the place to do your shopping that's for sure.

Barbican

I walked here from Farringdon. The trend of high rise buildings continues here. The most famous landmark is Barbican Centre that boasts 4 storeys of performing arts. There is also a conservatory with tropical plants inside the centre and a relaxing lounge for anyone who wants some peace and quite to just chill. I found just walking around the grounds of Barbican Centre was rather relaxing. Despite being so near the town centre and main roads it was surprisingly peaceful and quiet.

Farringdon

Farringdon Station is in the Borough of Holborn and officially East London. A very busy area with modern high rise blocks of flats and offices, Farringdon is quite an exciting town to just wander around. The infamous Smithfields Market is just round the corner. It takes up almost an entire road.

Euston Square

Euston Square Station is within walking distance of  Euston Railway Station. On my trip there, all I could see were tons of people pulling along their small luggage on wheels going about their business. They were either going on business trips or their way home. Not many tourists around this area. I was stopped by 2 young girls claiming to have come from South America, with no money,  no home, hungry, looking pitiful. After brushing them off, I kept an eye on them. They seemed to have picked up energy, laughing and chatting.

Great Portland Street

A rather upmarket part of Central London with high rise modern buildings mixed with old architectural ones give Great Portland Street a unique character. Within walking distance across the road from the station is Regent's Park. This park is so massive it would take a day or maybe more to finish walking round. I went to the flower section and walked along the line of fountains. This park is very well kept and is popular with tourists as well as Londoners.
