Walking down Edgware Road, I can feel leering eyes burning into me I feel almost naked. Exposed. Extremely self-conscious of my blondeness and Western dress. I zip my coat up as high as possible and tuck my long hair down into the collar I avert my eyes to the pavement and try to walk as quickly as possible, willing myself to be invisible. I am trying to ignore the hissed comments from men sat outside coffee shops with Shisha and cigarettes. There is a tight fist of anxiety in my sternum as my pace quickens.
