Sentient City Survival Kit - Quick Start Guide from mark shepard on Vimeo.

Over the last few days I've been seriously loving London. This might be due to the fantastic weather, but possibly also because instead of taking a short tube ride to and from work, I've been riding the bus. I always sit on the top deck and mostly get a front seat - if it frees up during the journey I'll move there because, frankly, why wouldn't anyone sit on the front seat on the top deck of a london bus on a sunny day if they have the opportunity.

On the bus I get to sit and read, either on my iPad or a real, dead-tree paper book. I get to look out of the window and see the city from the second story. I get a few extra minutes of 'me time'. I feel like I am indulging myself and other than being tipsy in a taxi it has to be the best way to see a city.

Between 5.45 and 6.15 and between the Strand and Caledonian Road I took 100 or so photos and put them together in this fillum with a classic happy london track. If anyone knows of any good public transport related music, let me know.
