| Lunch at Spice Grill
|
|
|
| Spice Grill's, the hole-in-the-wall Indian curry house on Salusbury
Road.
| My respectable karahi chicken, a spicy, curry-ish dish make with
tomatoes, cilantro, chilies, and more. I ordered it with naan, which
was respectable as well. It was slightly yeasty but so slight I didn't
notice after three bites.

| Hampstead
|
|
|
|
|
| In Hampstead, some cute townhouses along Flask Walk.
| Flask Cottages (assumedly on Flask Walk) have funky chimneys.
Also notice the birdcage hanging between the windows.
| There's quite a lot of foliage in front of this house along Flask Walk.
| Along Well Walk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A variety of building styles.
| Part of Gainsborough Gardens, a (private) green space surrounded by a
ring of houses. Lovely.
| A panoramic movie of Gainsborough Gardens' park.
| A house along Gainsborough Gardens. It has many stylistic flourishes,
most only easy to see in the full-sized image.
|
|
|
|
|
| A neat, painterly wind-vane.
| Farther along Well Walk, a house with writing on its crossbeam. Some of
the writing is religious; some is secular; all we had trouble making
heads or tails of.
This could be part of a Game clue.
| A house with many arches and towers. This is at the intersection of
Well Road and E. Heath Road.
|
|
| Hampstead Heath
|
|
|
| The green tunnel along this entrance into Hampstead Heath.
| One part of the Heath has large, wild-grass fields.
|
|
| Tea Time in the Buttery Cafe
|
|
|
|
|
| The Burgh House,
one of the oldest buildings in town.
| The Burgh House's courtyard, a jack-o-lantern, and the basement entrance
to the Burgh House's cafe, the Buttery Cafe.
| Tea with milk and part of a flapjack, a cross between a granola bar and
a cookie, made sweet by dried fruits. I liked it.
| A model of Hampstead in 1762. The stately red building in the center is
the Burgh House.

|
| Looking down the pedestrianized (retail) section of Flask Walk.
| An cute inn at one end of the pedestrianized section of Flask Walk. I
like the tiling, the sign, and the lamp.
| Hampstead High Street.
| A side street. The lintels as well as the flower-pots make this
apartment building something more than what it would be otherwise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| On another side street, these apartments are built so that each
apartment at each level gets its own outdoor patio with the sky above
it.
| An attractive pub on the high street.
The small booth in the
bottom-right is a creperie.
| A close-up of its entrance and its pretty lamps.
| Looking farther down the high street.
|
|
|
|
|
| A bank building with many stone reliefs on its facade.
| Looking the other direction up the high street. I like the look of Cafe
Rouge at right. Also, don't miss the clock tower peeking up on the
left.
| Hampstead clock tower.
Also, at right, I can't decide what I think
of the tube station's style.
