Abbey Road. The famous crosswalk where The Beatles crossed at the front cover of the album. The nice people on the bus told us where it was.
It was hard to cross today like The Beatles did, because the traffic has increased some so much since the 60s.

Hampsted is located in the north of London. It is hilly and have a continental feeling. It was also very hot this day, so we went to its park Hampsted Heth with a nice view over London. See more in the parks and skylines sections.
