Lol Liz! Yes... well we actually did not do much. We wound up staying at a place near St. Katherine's Dock and the Tower of London/Tower Bridge. It was very very nice. It was a full flat with a lounge and bathroom downstairs and a kitchen and bedroom upstairs. Thanks to Onetiger's suggestion of using Welcome Homes. We went to see the Lion King with Wishstar (thanks for coming!:-* )and got up close and personal with Zazu the bird thanks to us running late and almost not making it! The costumes and staging are nothing short of brilliant.
Then Saturday after making breakfast we meandered from the area of St. Katherines, by the Tower of London, over Tower Bridge, munched through samples at Borough Market bought some bread, olives and cheese...stared at Neal's Yard Dairy, made our way along the Thames past the Bismark, Clink, and wrought iron shopping area thingy (name escapes me-Hayes Warf maybe)... to the Frost Fair at the Globe (FREE ENTRY). Read all about Shakespeare...and four hours after we started we walked over the Millenium Bridge to St. Pauls Cathedral and then out to eat at Lucky 7 which was closed for refurbishment so we went back into town to Cafe Pacifico.
Sunday was basically just going back out to get the car and head home though since we were at Colindale (thanks to B&H for the parking space) we took a tour of Mill Hill where hubs lived until age 11. (God I'd kill for that house now!)
So it was nice and next time hopefully we will have more money to go in places, but to be honest I am quite happy walking and people watching and free always makes things better!
Do take in the little Frost Fair thing this month. They have arts and crafts and a neat museum bit and even sword fighting. I think it will be free for the rest of the Saturdays in December.
So basically it was the walking path that Yorkshire/Virginia suggested. Though we ran out of time for the Tate.
