I still don't understand the geography of the north. I was trying to look for a supermarket at the beginning but ended up in Russell Square - I remember the route was roughly Geffrye Estate -> turn left and walked until Regents Canal -> Islington/Angel -> Spa Fields (Clerkenwell) -> Mount Plesant -> Coram's Fields -> Russell Square. Anyway it is a nice surprise to see Finsbury Health Centre and the pretty market street of Clerkenwell. There was a Church Of Our Most Holy Redeemer next to Exmouth Market and Spa Fields in a special Italian basilica style (rare in London). It is interesting to see this Italian look applied to many old warehouses in London to make them look really magnificent.

The health centre was located right next to the church. It's cladded in old yellowish tiles which I suppose were once white. It looked a bit miserable and smelled of weed, but I guess it's important not only for architecture lovers, but those people actually who used it.

And fingercrossed for Hong Kong*
