To Market, To Market…

So, I got up early to head to the Borough Market and discovered it didn’t open until 10 am. When it did open, it was like people fell from the sky! They were everywhere! It wasn’t as big as I thought but plenty of delicious stands to wander through. Just for the record, the prices are hefty and high and the lines are long for the TikTok-able foods like the giant pulled pork sandwiches, oysters and choc coated strawberries. I personally enjoyed mushroom risotto and Apple crumble smothered in custard. 😋

From there I walked across London Bridge to the Monument that commemorates the fire of London in 1966. I climbed the 377 steps to witness fantastic views of Tower Bridge and the Shard. Monument is 61 meters tall: the exact distance from where the fire started in Pudding Lane. Continued a leisurely stroll through the streets of London, past St Paul’s Cathedral, relaxed in Inner Temple Gardens and onto Covent Garden.

Well, the trip is coming to an end. If confirmed, we start the long journey back home at 9pm 🕘 tomorrow night!Read more
