On our way to the Synth picnic we found a couple of interesting sights.

Across the water from Hammerby Sjö is Luma Park, old home of the North European Luma Cooperatives Lamp Factory designed by Artur von Schmalensee (links both in Swedish).

The town of Upplands Väsby is mostly a commuter town these days, though it does still house the Marabou chocolate factory. A factory complete with peculiar repetative sounds like those I imagined coming from Charlies chocolate factory. There is a sculpture garden between the factory and the railway line.

Telefonplan was the home of Ericsson until recently, though now their headquarters have moved across town to Kista.

Fruängen is another concrete hell at the end of the metro system.

Across the water from Hornstull is the dockland area of Liljeholmen. The is a major interchange between the tram, bus and TBana systems serving this area of modern offices.

At the bottom of the red line is Hallunda and Norsborg in Botkyrka commune.

Östermalm is bordered on the south by Strandvägen, north by Valhalla Avenue, east by Diplomatstaden.

Between Norra Djurgården and Strandvägen is Embassy town, an area containing a number of embassies for various countries.

Along Valhalla Avenue is the old Olympic Stadium from the 1912 games.
