Flat hunting
We went to Finsbury Park today to check out two flats. We were supposed to go see another one but didn't get a chance. The two were in the same conversion period building - basically what was once a four-floor home is now divided into two 2-floor flats. Finsbury Park is a nice area - we didn't know exactly where we were going when we got off the tube and we walked around for an hour trying to remember what we saw in the big London street map book thing that we didn't buy but should have. Anyway, we ended up back at the tube station and there was a map right there at the exit/entrance showing us exactly where to go.Once we made it there Paul, the estate agent guy, showed up and gave us the tour. I was surprised at how spacious the flats were because I was under the impression that everything in London is tiny - like our hotel room. But neither of the flats were small! They're both 2 levels with 2 double bedrooms, one bathroom, a shared garden, and a smallish reception (living) room. We're leaning towards one of these two but first we'll try and see some more tomorrow to compare. For the price though, (200 p/w), I think this is pretty good. Here's a not very good pic of the outside.

Cool pictures BG! I'm glad to hear you and HD had a decent flight and arrived ok, and that your initial plans are unfurling as expected. Bummer I don't make the cut for your email updates though :)
200 quid a week?! Somehow that sounds a shade more expensive than 'not too bad'. I realize converting to CDN isn't exactly equitable, but I can't help it! That's like $408 per week!
Have fun finding a flat. Don't spend all your dosh in one place!
