In Philly,
along shady streets,
are some scruffy looking,
horrifically bent,
highly strung-out,
snotty nosed and spent
zombies.
Whilst across the Pond
on a charmed London promenade,
are these well-dressed,
upright standing,
but functionally high,
snotty and stuck up
prats.
In either case,
try not to get near them.

Have a glimpse of everyday Kensington, London (with typical, not drugged out pedestrians) on a virtual walk.
