Up until yesterday I have only seen the nice parts of London. I live by the Boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea, which are very posh areas. Yesterday, my flatmate Rebecca and I took a bus through Chelsea and crossed over the river into Southwark. We explored some flea markets there and I saw how how and where "the other half live."
Today I'm going to meet up with Jill Roberts (my good friend from home who is studying here for those that don't know) and visit a museum. I've seen Jill quite a lot since I've been here, which has been fantastic--she's not only a familar face whose company I enjoy greatly but a great person to explore London with because she's up for anything.

Apparently, there is a town of Overton

There are several towns named Overton in the UK. The nearest one is in Surrey, I think. There is also (or at least used to be) an Overton's pub just across the street from Victoria Station. Pub is probably the wrong term, it is more a high end restaurant. I remember paying 25 pounds for a Dover Sole lunch back in the late 80s.
