I agree. I’ve never been to London so if I was there, I’d enjoy myself even if it meant giving up on sabbatical. If I was there regularly for work out some other reason, then it wouldn’t be as big a temptation. I’ve been to other European cities and haven’t seen anything I had to have. I stumbled across a barber shop in Paris that had probably everything Proraso makes, along with a few other items I can order online (much cheaper) in the US.If I was on a trip to London and found something truly worthy to buy on St. James Street, I'd grab it in a heartbeat. The heck with any sabbatical.
