My lovely cousin from the Wiltshire countryside came down for a visit recently and we decided to take a trip to Embankment in London to catch a glimpse of the London Eye and Big Ben. Walking along the river side we came across The Mastercard London Wonderground. Although we didn’t pay £7(!) to go on the ride, we did enjoy a wonder through the lantern walkway and a sit down in the Magners Mushrooms.
We then took a walk down to see what was happening at the Southbank centre. There were a couple of art installations outside and we wondered round to find a food market. The smells were amazing, especially the cheese and raisin pancakes that we had a (few) samples of! I didn’t try the bubble tea, but definitely will next time!
Then out of nowhere, in true British style it POURED down. We tried to find some cover and came 5across a very strange secret installation. Icicles made from milk bottles- and lots of them! Once the rain had stopped we ventured round to the roof top garden and café.
On the way back we couldn’t resist a quick trip to Covent Garden, and although we didn’t make it to the main square as our feet hurt so much we had to give up, I did however find a vintage shop I hadn’t yet visited called Pop Boutique. They sell amazing pieces at really reasonable prices! I couldn’t resist snapping up a pair of classic docs for only £35! I would definitely recommend a trip here if you’re in the area!
