The streets of London

Just home from a short week in London. A good 2 hours away from home, It really is not far to get some big city vibe. And while being here I took some time off to just walk the London streets. Sunday was my day.. The sky was clear, the sun was out.. At least for a few hours. A perfect winter day!

London, covent Garden
Covent Garden dressed for Christmas. Pretty as always

I took the tube to Covent garden for some much needed shoppingAnd I had already decided to visit Neal´s Yard. It did not disappoint at all.

Despite the cold, Neal´s yard is bright and colourful and you simply can´t stop feeling happy when arriving. I highly recommend coming here and take time to have a coffee/tea or something to eat. Why not both?

Look up and you find the entrance to Neal´s yard.

Neal´s yard close to the Covent Garden tube. Next time well worth a visit.

When in London, Look up. This is Paddington station.

Or take time to look at the tube stadion. Not one being the same as the other. This one has 193 stairs to the top!

Mr. Grumpy is ditched for this solo trip. And really I do not feel ashamed to say I love to have some alone time, and some blog time. I came to London to attend the WTM – The travel fair at Excel. But I came in early and had a day to my self to wander and explore London like I never have had time to do before. There are some very spectacular neighbourhoods to explore here.

London
Pubs on every corner, literary! On each one.. And I love how they all look and stand out.

I had some spare time and went on to Notting hill, just because I know there are some really colourful streets there. Thanks to Instagram! Portobello road here I come…

London
Not all buildings have to be colourful to be pretty. Not in my eyes at least. I love the simplicity of these bricked houses

London, I see I have to come back in not to long.. more photo safari is needed. Do you have any recommended areas/neighbourhoods?

I know for sure the area around Greenwich has to be explored even more.

So long Britain, hope we have a rendezvous in not to long
