\nDropped off my bags and got money at the Citibank in Oxford Circus. That\ufffds a shopping district with stores typical of the Third Street Prominade. I mean, they have two Starbucks and a Gap and other stalwarts of American capitalism. Good bird watching too.
\nWi-fi is a bit hard to find out here so updates will probably be weekly since T-Mobile charges 5 pounds per hour (that\ufffds US$10 folks!).
\nBut after I got settled in, the rain stopped and the skies cleared. Grimley told me that this is a RARE RARE thing.
\nAbout that price thing: candy bars are 50 pence and drinks like iced tea are 1 pound. That\ufffds US$2.00 man!
