Dérive

During my exploration of a new part of London, I decided I would go west of South Kensington as I have explored that area yet in my time being here so far. I decided before I went that I would get off at Fulham Broadway station. Once I had arrived at the station, I tapped out and left for the streets of Fulham. I left one of the exits and walked down the main street. The street was full of small shops and businesses though rather quiet, similar to the area of South Kensington we all live in. I only headed down the main street, deciding not to turn down any of the side streets as they seemed to be only private mews. After a while, I turned around and decided to head back down the main road and explore the other side of Fulham Broadway station. As I passed the station again, I noticed a small alley that piqued my interest. I decided to head down it and walk down a few other streets that twisted and turned around the neighborhood I was walking in. I then noticed some very cute, colorful houses. I then decided that I was going to follow the color. If I saw a colorful house or flowers, I was to turn down that road until I saw another spark of color. I did this for most of my time walking. I then noticed a jewelry shop down a small mew. I decided to go inside the jewelry store and it ended up being a wholesale store that had pieces in many famous movies. After that, I decided to walk back the way I came and to hop on the train to go back home.
