A Casual Weekend in London



No big news to report. Took a run up to Primrose Hill in Regent's Park, famous for it's view of Central London from the peak. People were out enjoying the weather and some rowdy football (soccer) fans were really enjoying a pub called 'The Globe' at the end of Baker Street...it looked really fun, if I had any money on me I would not have made it all the way to Primrose. I had to settle for getting hit in the arm with a flying piece of celery and continued my run.



(not my pic, sorry, did not have a camera with me, probably would have bartered it anyways for a few pints at The Globe)


OLD TRUMAN BREWERY MARKET

Now this tops my list of London attractions so far - a must see. Randomly went to see this place after a Sunday morning google search. A parking garage by week, a wonderful haven of funky clothes and art by weekend, and of course the best part being the international food section. I walked around the food stands for 30 minutes because I could not figure out what to settle on, literally any food you can imagine. Sri Lanka, Turkey, Spain, Thailand, Greece, China, Morocco, ANYWHERE!! And I really liked how each stand seemed to have native folks serving their dishes too. I'm sure I would have been happy with anything, ended up at the caribbean spot and ate something delicious. I do not know what it was.





The happiest place on earf. With very little effort, you will leave this market with something new and savory to eat and something totally sweet to wear. I recommend.
