A very cosmopolitan place

We know Santa Monica draws a lot of Italians, Spaniards, and many other nationalities (we heard loads of languages at breakfast this morning on the Veranda) but this is the first time I've noticed so much "ye olde England"...blimey! With pubs, restaurants, teashops, travel centres, and shops or should I say "shoppes" that sell all sorts of English goods, souvenirs, newspapers and food stuffs. You might think you were in the Kensington High Street...
