A true old english pub on the banks of the Thames, called The Grapes and owned by Sir Ian McKellan. Had a pint and chips with gravy, yum! |

Off to Brighton for the day |
 |
Real fish and chips, with mushy peas :) |

Bundled up in front of the Pier |

 |
A stop into Harrod's |
 |
Cool barrels |
 |
Happened across Greyfriars, Church ruins now a public garden |
 |
Getting a little lost in London proved to be fantastic. I wandered into Saint Bartholomew the Great, one of the oldest churches in London. If it looks familiar, it's because it has been used in so many movies... Up next, the Muppets! I had to drag myself away... |
 |
But not without a peek in the cloister! |
 |
Followed the London Wall |
 |
I loved the public markets in London, wish we had them here... This is Spitalfields |
 |
Safe to say, by this point, I was head over heels for London |

Every street and building... |
