sno oličenje naše veze, iliti najkra- će uputstvo za beskrajnost ljubavi. Naravno, ovaj grafit nije cilj vašeg odlaska u jednu od originalnih lon- donskih meka, Šordič. Ovaj deo gra- da pršti od strit arta, lejt najt barova, bluz denova, fenomenalnih restorana, vintidž šopova, izložbi koje se pretva- raju u maratonske afterpartije. Mož- da će vam neko reći da su Dolston ili Hakni preuzeli sav taj hip istočnog Londona, ali realno morate pronaći vremena da se izgubite u Šordiču. Pored fudbala, pabova, piva i ulič- ne umetnosti, tu je i moda, koja je takođe jedan od zaštitnih znakova Londona. – Anja je ta koja za sve troje bi- ra mesta gde ćemo namiriti šopoho- ličarske potrebe. Umesto u haj strit radnjama, gde ima svega osim neo- čekivanog, izgubite se među rafovi- ma divnih sekend hend šopova, buv- ljaka i vintidž šopova na kilo. Anjina haljina u kojoj konkuriše za Tornato- reov film Malena kupljena je u Abso- lute Vintage , nezaobilaznom šopu na Marketu Spitalfilds za samo pet fun- ti. Ja sam se hrabro i pomalo neča- sno izborio na nedeljnoj rasprodaji odeće u Hekniju za parče istorije u jednom kožnjaku – kaže Strahinja. Kada je reč o mestima koja zavre- đuju pažnju turista, oni svoj glas ipak daju manje tradicionalnim stvarima. – Možda će smena garde ispred Bakingamske palate ili 5 do 12 na Big Benu doneti gomilu lajkova na vašem fidu na Instagramu ili Fejsbuku , ali ako zagrebete ispod površine, otkriće- te mesta koja lokalci zovu eye candy . Apsolutni favorit među mnogobroj- nim fabuloznim podovima Londona su smaragdnozelene pločice u rad- nji Aesop na Kovent Gardenu. A ako zalutate u okolinu stanice Old Strit, neminovno će vas oduševiti mural na tri sprata zbog kojeg vredi iskri- viti vrat. Pošto vode računa da svako za- dovolji svoje želje i prohteve, tako i treći član posade ima svojih pet mi- nuta, a ako je verovati njegovom ve- selom repu, prestonica Britanije mu je baš prirasla za srce. – U Londonu postoji tako velika komuna jazavičara da je stvorena i institucija zvana Sausage Walk , koja okuplja stotine pasa i njihovih ljud- skih podanika. Svi se u ogromnoj za- jedničkoj šetnji kreću po nekom od grandioznih parkova, zbog čega je naš četvoronožni član porodice bio veoma srećan. Na svakom koraku je

“Here is located our favourite graffiti, which is kind of a personification of our re- lationship, or the shortest guide to the end- lessness of love. Of course, this piece of graf- fiti isn’t the aim of your night out in one of London’s original Meccas, Shoreditch. This part of the city abounds with street art, late night bars, blues dens, fabulous restaurants, vintage shops and exhibitions that turn in- to epic after parties. Perhaps someone will tell you that Dalston or Hackney have tak- en over all the hipness of East London, but in reality you must find time to lose your- self in Shoreditch.” Apart from football, pubs, beer and street art, fashion is also one of London’s trademarks. “Anja is the one who chooses the places where all three of us will satisfy our shopa- holic urges. Instead of high street shops, where there is everything but the unex- pected, lose yourself in the shelves of fab- ulous second hand shops, flea markets and vintage kilo-weigh shops. Anja’s dress, in which she could try out for Tornatore’s film Malèna , was bought at Absolute Vintage, an unavoidable shop on Old Spitalfields Market, for just five pounds. I bravely and somewhat dishonourably fought at a Sun- day sale of clothing in Hackney for a piece of history in the form of a leather coat,” says Strahinja. When it comes to places that are wor- thy of the attention of tourists, they still opt to promote less traditional elements. “Perhaps the changing of the guard in front of Buckingham Palace or 5 min- utes to 12 on Big Ben’s clock will bring a lot of likes to your Instagram or Facebook newsfeeds, but if you scratch beneath the surface you’ll discover the places that lo- cals refer to as eye candy.
