London Day 4

On Sunday we got the tube to Trafalgar Square. It was very cool seeing the tall statue and giant lions and there was even a Christmas market in front of the National Gallery plus a Remembrance Day service on one of the nearby streets. We continued walking around and found our way to Pall Mall which had such gorgeous architecture. We paid a visit to Hedonism Wines which is a highly acclaimed bottle shop that has one of the best cellars in the world. Iesha mentioned she was in the industry and one of the workers looked after us extremely well- taking us to underground cellars full of lots of old wine Iesha never gets to see and he even gave us a blind tasting of a 2010 Tignanello and a 1988 Chateau Ducru… it was so amazing. Some of the wines there were listed for $500,000 which amazed Eth. Of course Iesha had to buy a bottle of something and Eth ended up getting it for her as a birthday present (you can see how happy she is holding the bag in the streets).

We went to a little pub in Mayfair for a Sunday roast and much to our disappointment it wasn’t that great - both of our mums do a much better roast. From there we went to Camden Town and walked through the markets, there were sooo many stalls and this part of town definitely has a more relaxed vibe to it. We watched the sunset from Primrose Hill in the evening which is a very good view point of London City. Before going back home we stopped at Kings Cross Station and went to track 9 3/4 for the official Harry Potter store. We had so much fun browsing the film merchandise and playing with wands. It felt so magical but we can confirm we do not enjoy butter beer - it tastes like sparkling water with the sweetest glycerol syrup in it. For dinner we went to a cozy pub in Notting Hill for an authentic English pie and fish n chips (the pie was delicious).Read more
