I caught it twice on my last visit outside the terminal at Heathrow as I was crossing the street to pick up my rental. It smelt like buses and, yes, rubber… it’s hard to describe, but I know what I smelt. Then in the care rental lobby, a kind of very slightly molded furniture smell, just a hint. I think kitchens also have a distinct smell of… tea, digestives, barely toasted bread, rice crispy treats. I always love that smell when I’m back, it’s unmistakable. I’m craving a bowl of rice pudding. It’s definitely something special to catch that familiar whiff.

I can't wait to go back to the Uk for a trip next year.... always easier to write about it after you've been away a while. I miss that smell, I totally know what you mean.
