London made and inspired, Colours of London ™ is a celebration of Mylands' British roots and long-standing relationship with the capital. Comprising of 120 timeless colours, each shade is named after a district, landmark or iconic individual associated with this great city. An entire chapter is dedicated to “The Night” which chronicles the illumination of after dark London from the early 1890s when electric signs were introduced to Piccadilly Circus as London moved from gas to electric lighting, bathing the streets and buildings in a colour and light all of its own.

(And oh, reading about Queen Elizabeth's coronation just weeks after her passing... #feels) Even the weather comes up; inevitable, just like one cannot talk about the Pacific Northwest without talking about rain--or mist (ask me how I know :D). And yet, I felt at home in that section--not just because it was covered under my favorite color, blue, but because the PNW and England share many a common weather; the two are not so different there.Watford DC Line: Euston, South Hampstead, Kilburn High Road, Queen’s Park, Kensal Green, Willesden Junction, Harlesden, Stonebridge Park, Wembley Central, North Wembley, South Kenton, Kenton, Harrow & Wealdstone, Headstone Lane, Hatch End, Carpenders Park, Bushey, Watford High Street, Watford Junction.

My particular favourite was a colourised picture of the Great Exhibitiion, of which I have read a great deal about but which I have never been able to visualise in such a way before. West London Line: Willesden Junction, Shepherd’s Bush, Kensington (Olympia), West Brompton, Imperial Wharf, Clapham Junction.

It brilliantly combines all my favorite things into one resource, including art, history, paraphernalia (Antique postcards! Historic Olympics posters/ads!), literature, and more. This is exactly why I loved my European Studies degree program in college--it didn't lean too heavily on any one thing, instead dabbling just enough across a variety of topics to hold my interest.
