Top Ten London - Finale


So to finally finish my London post (only took me one month)....


8) Borough Market ~ Spending Saturday mornings browsing the market for goodies like fresh fruits, cheese, and of course brownies. YUM! This open air market is perhaps one of the coolest places in London and its featured in "Bridget Jones' Diary". In fact we saw where she lives in the movie just by shopping at the market.
9) New Years Celebration ~ New Year's Eve was a cold and rainy night, but luckily for us we had a wonderful inside view of the festivities. Not only could we watch the fireworks through the windows, but we also got to see all the crazy, drunk people down below. Loads of fun!
10) Walking ~ London, unlike most American cities, is an amazing place to just walk around. There is so much history and so many amazing buildings that you can find just by walking around the city. This year we decided to walk from Royal Alber Hall, through Hyde Park, by the Palace and Green Park, past Westminster, across the bridge to the London Eye, and then on to the apartment. Its a long way but very worthwhile.
