We spent a week in August in our fine capital city. We had an amazing time...here is a short round up for you.

| Battersea Power Station |
We stayed in the Kingsland Dalston area of London
Day 1 we did 24,676 steps mainly around the Greenwich area taking in the Cutty Sark and an amazing pub, The Trafalgar.

Day 4 24,499 steps. Temple, Sky Garden, The Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street, Postman's Park, Bloomsbury, Soho, Neals Yard, China Town and Carnaby Street.
Day 5 23,223 steps. An amazing tour of Dennis Severs house in Spittlefields, we loved Spittlefields, Whitechapel, Monument and Canary Wharf.
Day 6 27,257 steps. Tour of Highgate Cemetery, lots of London Underground, Dick Whittington's cat, Little Venice, Camden, Berkeley Square, Mayfair, Soho and a final drink on the roof terrace at our hotel.
So what an amazing holiday we had!
You certainly 'did' London in style - walking all those steps on London streets must have been hard on the feet, but what a lot you packed in, more than most Londoners have seen, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos as always. And lots of walking. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely to return to London this morning via your camera lens. It is an amazing city to explore. History, architecture, culture, vistas. We visited in early September on our way to visit family in Canada. Day 1 was very similar to your day 4, but we went up to 'The Garden at 120' for the views. It was a sensational day and I was so looking forward to the next 5 days of exploring with my very knowledgeable London friend. Sadly the following day saw us rushing back to Heathrow and on to Canada, as an Air Canada strike loomed.
ReplyDeleteYou put me to shame with all the walking you did on your trip to London in August. It looks like you had a great time and packed a lot in to the time you were there. Happy days.
