After what was probably one of the most frustrating experiences ever, we have found a perfect flat. It has a fairly large kitchen by London standards, a large reception room and a bedroom in the back. It is definitely small and when we first had all our stuff delivered, I didn't know how we were going to make it work. But I've worked hard at organizing all week and I've found a place for everything. We are in a great location, close to pubs, restaurants, grocery stores, everything we could need. I have already scouted out some great parks nearby for Henry and I can't wait to get him here. It has been a frustrating few weeks trying to get utilities set up, get debit cards, etc, etc. Everything takes 4x as long as you would expect here and seems to be done backwards. But we're finally getting settled in and we're ready to start enjoying our new city:) Here are some pics of the flat and the neighborhood:
