I know I
mentioned in previous posts that I have moved to London but I can officially
say that I love London living. For starters it’s just so nice not having to
wake up then spend the next 1hr30 of my life rammed onto a train with
commuters.
Secondly
I have finally re-joined the gym – something which whilst commuting was
seriously lacking in my life. Even more exciting is that David Gandy – yes the
beautiful David Gandy goes to the same gym. I can safely say this has been one
of my London’s highlights!

| Definitely works out!!! |
Aside
from David Gandy in the gym there is of course the whole city at our disposal
to explore. Even better is that exploring doesn’t have to involve spending lots
of money. My friends and I have
ventured to both Spitalfields and Borough Markets. Both of which made me feel
like I was on holiday surrounded by fellow tourists.

| Some seriously impressive street entertainment! |
The
highlight of Spitalfields had to be wandering into what we thought was a kooky
shop but turned out being a multi-storey car park which at the weekend
transforms itself into a collection of stores selling an array of
clothing/jewelling/household bits and so on.
We then
stumbled across the food section at which point that was it – the healthy
eating was out the window and it was Burrito time! Quite literally one of the
largest Burrito’s you’ve ever seen. When seeing the Burrito you’d think we’d
consider sharing but oh no, each one of us tucked in and quite literally
demolished the entire thing.
Funnily
enough Borough Markets was another scrap the healthy eating day. As a serious
cheese lover it was extremely hard to me no to have one of these cheese
sandwiches.

| Cheese and I actually managed to resist! |
I did of
course have a fair few tasters throughout the day, along with a collection of
delicious meats, dried fruit, olives and so on. All of which we accompanied
with a lovely glass of Prosecco.
After we
were sufficiently stuffed and if I’m honest painfully full we headed to the
River walking past the Globe, The Tate and across Millennium Bridge to St Pauls
Cathedral.
 |
| Tourists in disguise.... |
The main reason we headed to St Paul’s was for a glass of champagne
on the roof terrace of One New Change but we got distracted for a good hour in
Topshop and never made it up there! Next time I guess!!!!
