More London Fun

Back to London we went, and back to Borough Market to get some ciders for Felicia's boyfriend (and a 10am sample for me.. how could I resist?)

Had a bit of a laugh after I spotted this and had to stand at it shouting after Felicia to come back and see it as she had barrelled off around the corner haha

Obviously another trip to Liberty's was necessary, Felicia needed to pick up some more chocolates for presents and I needed to fawn over the Liberty scarves

Cheeky cronut from DumDumDonuts at Boxpark for later

Casually strolled through Green Park toward Buckingham Palace and couldn't resist taking some autumnal park photos.

I was not quite as casual as Felicia.

Totally interrupted a guy having his lunch who stuffed the remainder of his Pret sandwich into his mouth to take this photo for us (thanks dude!).

Took this silly photo at Trafalgar Square between two pointing fingers - naughty blogger didn't even look at any plaques telling what this was there for/who it was by. (Google tells me it's a 25-ton sculpture by a Mexican artist, Jose Rivelino Moreno Valle, as part of the Contemporary Mexican Sculpture exhibition!)

Look up! A Banksy!

Dinner was another off of Felicia's London To Do List - Dishoom

I'm not one for spice, but oooooohhh this was so delicious.

We went to the one in Shoreditch (7 Boundary Street, E2 7JE) and tucked into lamb samosas, pau bhaji, naan (obviously), chicken tikka and paneer tikka. 

Mannnnn, it was good. Highly recommend! Also recommend sitting outside, the smells of the incense and the decor really transports you.

We headed to New Cross then, and sat in a Costa to sneakily eat our zebra cronut from earlier while we waited to head to Bella's party.

Tiff Takes London

Look! Tiff is here! My friend from good ol' Canada is traveling Europe for the summer and has popped into London for a week visit.

Started her trip off with a bang - Katy Perry at the O2. I bought tickets in November hoping I'd have someone to go with come May and it couldn't have worked out better! It was so exciting. I love Katy Perry. Even more after she flew through the audience attached to balloons and entered one set on a giant gold and pink horse.

Started our Saturday at Brockley Market with amazing bacon avocado sandwiches served to us by some extremely handsome bearded men (at a stall which for the life of me I cannot remember the name of).

And then cake, of course.

Took a stroll up the mall after a stop in Trafalgar Square to head towards Buckhingham Palace. Tiff has never been to London so we're really hitting up all the tourist hot spots, which, I have to say, is so much fun and lately I've been forgetting to be a tourist here. Remedying that starting immediately!

Don't I look so tall in that picture?

Felt a bit warm and tired from all the walking so refueled in Green Park with some ciders and strawberries we bought at Brockley Market that morning.

Saturday night Rory came bearing pineapple and pink bubbly.

Completely unstaged couch photo.

Sunday took us to Brick Lane once we woke up - quite late, I may add. (I may have lied earlier. There were four bottles Saturday night).

Luckily we cured ourselves with falafel (me) and fish and chips (Tiff's first in London!). Add in some fresh juices and we were ready for Sunday.

Strolled down Columbia Road flower market since we were in the area, laughing at all the sellers shouting "ONE FER THREE PAUND, TWO FER FIVE! TWO FER FIIIIIIVE".

Then Tiff had an important phone call to make before we headed home, a bit exhausted from weekending.
