Camden Market (http://www.camdenlock.net/),Six busy open-air and indoor markets, each with its own distinctive flavour, line a street of shops, bars and restaurants in Camden Town, North West London.

....zzzzz.....

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.

Boone watched the two disappear into the phone booth. Oh...kay, that was really weird. He thought. ~~in a way slightly reminiscient of Ark from Legendary Frog.~~

"Sounds good to me," he agreed, pulling out his cell phone to check the time, then replacing it in his pocket. Looking around, he caught sight of a pub (http://img01.beerintheevening.com/4a/4ad7f9e31f6c73aef9b8c7ed6be8ba56.jpg). "What about there?" He asked, nodding toward it.

Allie blinked at the two people going in to the phone booth.

"Um, sure, that's fine," she said in response to Boone's question.

Boone grinned, as they approached. From the outside, the pub - the Devonshire Arms, as the sign proclaimed - looked a bit...well, "quaint" was the word Sabrina would use. His eyes flickered to Allie, taking in the contrast of her pretty vibrance against the stark gray skies.

Oh you blinked?

They're gone.

The couple is no where to be seen.

Vicor grinned as he and Walter entered the museum. "Wow, these things look so real!"

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.

Nadia smiled slightly as she spotted the Trench-coat guy. Ahhhh, crazy people.

Yep, felt like home.
