Just when I thought I was ready to go home I had another great day in London. I started the morning off how any great day starts, by sleeping in. I made my way to Notting Hill for their portabella market which made me immediately regret spending my money anywhere else. There was sooooo much to see and I was on limited funds. I quickly found numerous items for my future self to come back and buy one day. They had fabulous leather trunks full of furs and precious antiques everywhere I looked. I ended up buying myself a teapot, an old fashion camera for my sister that came in this sick leather case and a scarf from a Scottish store. While there at the markets they also had an endless supply of street food to choose from, I got a German Doner and it was delicious. I also found the best doughnuts this side of the Atlantic.
To continue with my great day we went to a pub that George Orwell frequented at and I had my goodbye meal that of fish and chips! They were good and the atmosphere there was very alive. Next we went to kings cross and got our pictures taken at platform 9 3/4!
My my day in pics:
I’m in love, I’m in love
The one I got my sister isn’t pictured it’s so cool though. It’s a Kodak and it says United Kingdom on it.
I’ll dream of you babe!
An image of the quaint street before we arrived upon the crazy market madness!!
My younger self is geeking out hard core tonight!
The market sounds absolutely amazing. I wish I had joined you gus to see all of the street vendors and the performers.
I’m so glad you found a tea pot that you liked, I know we were both trying to find some tea pots. I had wanted to tell you about a market Kendra and I stumbled upon on friday. There was a vendor there that collected antique tea cups and saucers and then turned them into organic candles.
The food that you all had sounded amazing, true British food if there is such a thing. It’s nice that it was so close to the hotel too, this way you didn’t have to venture far.
I am so jealous of the fact that you got to go to kings cross station. There were so many Harry Potter things I wanted to do, but didn’t get the chance too. Also, the pictures turned out so cute!
