Our Finchley Road home for the week. Interestingly, not only is it familiar territory, as we’ve often stayed in Belsize Park, but the building itself is one I’ve looked at in the past, thinking it would be a good place to live. So here we are. Our flat not overlooking Finchley Road, though. We're on the other side, with a view looking out over West Hampstead. Much quieter as well.
Though there is an interesting sound. We’re about half way between Swiss Cottage station and Finchley Road station on the Jubilee line. Swiss Cottage is on the east side of Finchley Road and Finchley Road station is on the west, with the line passing beneath the road as it heads northwest. More or less underneath our flat, signalling its presence with the faintest of rumbles.
