Pip leaned heavily on his cane and looked around. "I wonder if there actually was a 21B Baker Street or the city just made it up to make the museum," he said.

Pippi looked around at the other buildings on the street.

"I don't know, it looks legit to me... I wonder where he really lived. And who lived here back then?"

"They do. Who should we go see?" Walter looked around and pointed toward the area with the rock stars. "Anyone special you want your picture with?"

Elizabeth walked the back streets, visiting small shops, and managing to resist buying books.

Mostly.

There's a fellow coming down the street in the most extraordinary fashion.

He might be on his way to or from work, judging by how he's dressed and the briefcase he carries.

Boone and Allie arrived at Camden Market, after a *slightly handwavey* trip from Paddington Station (http://community.livejournal.com/fh_trips/3946.html?thread=449130#t449130).

"See anywhere you want to go?" Boone asked, gazing about.

A striking woman is leading a dashing fellow in a suit through the crowd.

"Oh honestly James." she said, "...Because he asked... If I didn't know better," she added giving him a sly sideways glance.

"I'd say you were jealous."

"Perish the thought." the fellow responded in a deep, subtlety Scottish, voice. "After you."

They both entered a telephone booth and shut the door.

Allie shrugged and started walking down a random street, taking in the sights.

She glanced at her watch. "We could find somewhere for lunch," she suggested.

Nadia + Camden Market = one very bouncy former girl. He walked up and down the main road, just people watching and being there, feeling more at home than he had since he'd left Buenos Aires. This was the good part of street culture. This is what he loved.

This is where he might be able to get away with a touch of shoplifting. . . .

A blond guy in a trench coat stands on a corner smoking.

He's looking around and possibly talking to himself.

He keeps looking down at an empty bench as if somebody is sitting there.
