Last day in London town... a special day.

Well, time has gone by so quickly and now it is my last day in London…. so once again it was time to hit the streets.


In London there are a number of bridges over the Thames, the most famous is the Tower Bridge.

One of things I have said before is how surprising the size and presence of the different things I have seen are and the Tower Bridge is no different, it is not a long bridge but with its towers and walkways it is impressive.

Heading up the tower I was amazed with the workmanship that has gone into the building of this structure and also how being 49m higher above the river changes the view.

After making my way across the walkways enjoying the views and learning more about the bridge, it was time to head down to the engine room

After a bit of history it was time for me to spend some time with Wiz, so I wandered through St Katherine’s dock and made my way to my dear friend.

Now back at home when Wiz and I catch up almost every time it is for lunch or a drink but we have found something that entertains us just as well… shopping so we made our way to Spitalfields market.

The streets were alive, people walking along, having lunch and I am told enjoying the sunshine (they say that the sun only is around for such a small time of the year that they need to make the most of it) and there were some gorgeous little shops on the way.

The markets are huge... they go on and on and on, we wandered around and bought a few things but only saw such a small part of the whole place, I have to say it is a dangerous place for two girls to go but we didn't buy that much... really, compared to what we could have bought.

Wandering through the streets of London I love looking at the buildings, there are so many old gorgeous buildings but also a number of new buildings and I appreciate how they can stand next to one another and not take the beauty away from the other... not all cities are able to do this as well as London.

After controlling our spending it was time to head back and catch up with Matt and to share the beautiful bottle of Veuve that I had bought duty-free on my way over to celebrate three wonderful friends being together again.

(no champagne flutes but it was still very special)

As a treat I had taken Wiz to Paris for a girl's night and now it was time for Matt's treat... dinner at a Gordon Ramsey owned restaurant, The Warrington.

The restaurant is above a gorgeous little pub, it would have been nice to have a drink there before going up for dinner but as our reservation was at 8 and we arrived at 8:30 after struggling to get a taxi for over forty minutes, it wasn't to be.

We headed upstairs and made ourselves comfortable in a beautiful restaurant, shared a wonderful meal and had an amazing time... the perfect way to end my time in London.
