You can get a really good idea of the impact of the German bombing by
walking a couple of blocks from the museum to see the remains of a 14th
century cathedral that was never rebuilt.

I love Owain's account of West London, because it parallels my experience
the last two times I stayed in the Kensington-High Street section. It looked
pretty middle class as far as housing, until I started noticing the cars
parked at the curb. One of friends told me that Manhattan is to West London
what Brooklyn is to Manhattan, and once you see it, Manhattan seems like not
such a bad deal afterall. I find the odd thing is, that to stay in the area
has been pretty reasonable if you're just there temporarily. Maybe I've
mentioned this before, but when I visited the Transport Museum in Coventry,
seeing the display of the bombing of Coventry during WWII was a real
eye-opener, and you get a much more profound notion of what the major cities
in the UK underwent during that war.
