London Day 5

Last couple of days in London dedicated more to shopping. Not so much the high street fashion brands but the local vintage shops, and also little handmade items that Elaine & I both love & appreciate! Visited Portobello Market (better to go on a Sunday morning when it's more lively & bustling but apparently very crowded). Interesting finds but they were closing when we got there... And then attended a concert by "The Temper Trap" at O2 Empire, Shepherd's Bush. Turned out superb! Totally exceeded our expectations :)) Love the interior of the hall & how people just sat around drinking while waiting for the
concert to begin..

Above: Opening solo singer (can't remb her name). Nice voice but no stage presence. And here's Temper Trap. Alternative music. Great band. Great stuff.

When it ended at 10.30pm, we rushed to Bayswater for a ducky supper. Even the noodles & jellyfish were so yummy. You CANNOT miss this if you're in London.

Name: Four Seasons

Location: Near Bayswater tube, London

Expenditure: ~40£

London Day 6

Shopped at our favorite Bricklane. I adore this place! You'll find treasures here that you can't get anywhere else.. We even spotted a crowd queuing for the opening of Oli Sykes' new "Drop Dead" flagship store. Cool.

When we were finally done with Bricklane, we went to "Dirty Martini" at Covent Garden for drinks. Cheap & good martinis. Worth going. Then dinner at a Japanese pancake place that was supposed to be quite popular but we didn't like the food (ex too) & we had to air our jackets for 3 days! What a boo boo.

So this marks the end of my London week. Day 7, home sweet home...
