Home Sweet Home

Moving was painless. We love Hammersmith. I'm sure there are nicer parts of London - certainly everyone (from north London) tells us so; but it has everything we want and we feel instantly at home. Our little corner reminds me that London really is a city of villages. Around the block, we have a nook of little shops, a fish and chipper (with falafel and kebabs), dusty chemist and a cute-looking Italian restaurant. We are down the road from the White City development, which at the end of the year will be the biggest shopping centre in Europe. In the meantime, there are busy shops and supermarkets left, right and centre. And our street is pretty, tweeting with birds and lined with beautiful pale pink blossoms.

Locals: can anyone recommend broadband/wireless internet? It looks like our run of free wireless has come to an end :-(

Try Tiscali ... I recall 15.99 heaven ... broadband, cable tv and phone. But you still need to pay 10.95 to BT for the 'line rental' ... they own all the telephone wires
