Day 1: Arrived by Eurostar smack into the centre of London at St Pancras, after much effort, found Hoxton Hotels which turns out to be a godsend. Spiffy area or "SWANKY" according to charmaine. After a nice brazillian dinner at Favela Chic, we give in to the down blankets and eygptian cotton sheets.
Day 2: Decided it's time we finally see London from the water and took up the River rover hop on hop off service from Tower Pier. Since we're sooooo early, we needed to take some 'french' pastries and tea.
Day 2: cont'd Boat was tacky but gives you fantastic view and wind chill.
cont'd : Towards Canary Wharf and Greenwich. Some exciting apartments along the river, maybe it is time to move?
Of course, get some seafood down at Greenwich, see the Royal Naval College and a skating dog near the meridian.
Day 3: Spitalfields! We had breakfast at Canteen @ spitalfields (so not worth my water cress salad + snootty staff..GJ had a awesome eggs benedict though). Everything in Spitalfields looks nicer but is much more expensive...save your money and go to Camden instead.
Walked around London, before meeting up with Charmaine.
cont'd : Camden Lock...where GJ had his first ever Starbucks experience is even better with Boh around, took us to Primrose Hill, where we had a celebrity sighting of Helena Bonham Carter and maybe...Tim Burton...followed by a lucious Hache steak as part of the BOH 2 Day London Tour itinerary. Mei came along graciously, but was struck by a bug midway through dinner. Get well soon!!
Romantic views of London from Primrose Hill..as boh suggested let's catch the sunset...
Day 4: On our way back...had to give the english food another go to clog up our arteries before we left.
Luuurve London.
I would go back there in a heartbeat.
