London Life

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!!!!
