If you have to be trapped somewhere during a global pandemic, it might as well be at Karen’s place!
What can I say, I arrived in London a couple days before the virus really got serious and the Lockdown began. Safe to say my trip didn’t turn out as I planned.
Having said that…Karen’s home is welcoming and in a good location for mass transport - which I didn’t do because as I write this, the lockdown is still in effect (Stay at Home, people!). Karen’s a great host and you have access to the kitchen. Also there’s several supermarkets nearby if you need to stock up on supplies, like I did. Also a really nice park in walking distance which I was able to go take a walk through once a day. There’s a great jazz club nearby, which I planned on going to, but was closed due to the lockdown. I hope it survives after this and I’m able to check it out in the future. There’s also a nice garden in the back, I spent time reading a book there and occasionally seeing some friendly neighborhood cats. All in all, it’s a great place under less than ideal circumstances. Karen’s great on communication and helpful.
