Picture one: The Borough market is a wholesale and retail food market in Southwark, South East London. It is definitely worth a visit! It is one of the largest food markets in the world, and sells a large variety of foods from all over the world! Even though you don't plan on buying anything there, it is still very interesting to just walk among all the stands and smell the fish! ヅ

Picture two: Borough Market. The wholesale market operates on all weekday mornings from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m., but the retail market operates only on Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Picture three: Lost in Borough market ? Follow the signs! ヅ

Picture four: Borough market. Got fish ?

Picture five: Chapel Market! I absolutely loved this market! There are lots of things to look at; from jewelry, bags and clothes to fish and vegetables! It is open every day except Monday, operating in the mornings only on Thursday and Sunday. The market is only 2-3 blocks long.

I bought 2 pairs of pants and I absolutely love them. (I'll try to remember and put them up here too later on!)

The guy who sold them was so nice! When I bought the first pair he said I'd be back for more. (I was like; uh... yahh, sure, dude). But I wore the pants that evening and I immediately said I had to go back to get another pair... and I did :)

Take the Subway to ANGEL station, and then it's walking distance from there!

Picture one: The Camden Market! This was my absolute favorite place in the whole of London. BEST shopping ever! I spent SO many hours here! Both because I loved it, but also cause it never ends!! The first day I went through this market, but the next day I found another one right next to it, and another one, and another one! Me likey! ヅ Oh, and be sure to bring your haggle skills! You can get stuff really cheap if you're good at it! I had lots of practice in Kenya so I did good! ヅ

Picture two: Clothes, clothes and more clothes! Everything from Goth, Rave and Hippie style, to "ordinary" ヅ

Picture three: More of Camden Town ヅ

Picture four: Camden town. Obviously this is where you get off the subway if you want to go shopping at Camden market! ヅ

Picture five: This is where I got my nose pierced! The woman who did it was so sweet! So if you want to get something pierced you should go to her. Although, you do have LOTS of places to choose from. Same with tattoos. The tattoo studios are all over the place! Me likey!

Picture six: I bought my super cool green hat here ヅ

Picture seven: Camden Town!

Picture one: Stables Market! At the end of Camden Town, you have Stables market on your left side.. And yeah, it's huge! ヅ You have huge selections of clothes, jewelry, accessories and all kinds of food! It smells incredible, and you won't be able NOT to eat while you're there!

Picture two: Stables Market. You have a top floor, middle floor (in this picture it is the way down to the middle floor) and ground floor... It took me some time to find them all, but if you have the time, don't stress...Just walk around and enjoy! ヅ

Picture three: Stables Market.

Picture four: Stables Market.

Picture five: Horse Tunnel Market, another part of Stables market. Lots of vintage stores! ヅ

Picture six: The prices here are more fixed than haggle-able (stables & horse tunnel)... but you can always try ヅ

And before I end this post, here's a picture of London's Subway map. It's really quite easy to get around, both with subway and bus!

OH! before I forget, if you're gonna be in London for at least a week, do buy the weekly card for the public transport. It's a lot cheaper than day passes... I'm sure they have like a London pass as well, that gives you even more discounts. I never got that there though.

But if  you get a weekly card you need a picture (ID size)! Only you will be able to use it.

Well, okay, I'm sure anyone can use it, but you might get busted when they do random checks on the subway stations.

Cheers mate!

I went to visit a former (so called) friend, and since this person is not worth mentioning, I'll just share the good memories I have, along with my pictures! Enjoy! ヅ

1. 2.

3. 4.

Picture one: I went on the Tower of London tour! It was great! This picture is taken with my actual camera that I brought with me to England... The other pictures from the tour are taken with my cell phone camera... Since of course, I forgot my camera that day... "Weee..."

Picture two: The awesome tour guide! Cannot remember what his name is, but I do remember it was his very first tour! And he did a great job! It's amazing how much stuff you must know to be a tour guide there! It's not exactly a short tour! ヅ

Picture three: Go Yeoman Warder! Go! ヅ

Picture four: The Traitor's gate. The History of the Tower of London is bloody and cruel and Traitor's Gate has its part to play in its story. The water-gate under St Thomas's Tower has been known for over 400 years as 'Traitors' Gate' because of the number of prisoners, accused of treason, who have passed through it.

There were tons of coins on the bottom! ヅ

4. 5. 6.

Picture one: "This wall in the Tower of London forms part of the west side of the original bailey. It was built between 1221 and 1238 during hte reign of Henry III to replace earlier defenses constructed by William the Conquerer. The slope at the base of the wall forms part of the defensive ditch believed to date from the 11th Century."

If you look really close you can see a raven sitting on the edge in the big hole!

Picture two: The ravens of the Tower of London. Seven ravens are in permanent residence in the Tower of london; their wings are clipped, so they can't fly away... According to a superstition from the time of Charles II claims that when there are no longer ravens in the tower, both the White tower and the kingdom will fall.

Picture three: The Old Hospital Block, built in the 18th century.

Picture four: This is the very spot where Henry VIII got two of his wives beheaded. ("Riiight, the fat dude, who invented divorce").

All together seven people were executed here, five of them were women.

Picture five: On tour ヅ Almost by the Crown jewels! Where no cameras were allowed...!

Picture six: Jewel House, where the Crown jewels are kept. The Crown Jewels denotes the regalia and vestments worn by the sovereign of the United Kingdom during the coronation ceremony and at other state functions. The jewels refers to the following objects: the crowns, sceptres (with either the cross or the dove), orbs,swords, rings, spurs, colobium sindonis, dalmatic, armill, and the royal robe or pall, as well as several other objects connected with the ceremony itself.

Picture one: London Bridge.

Picture two: London Eye.

Picture three: Trafalgar square. Really liked this place. It was very cozy to just sit on the steps, have something to drink and people watch! ヅ

Picture four: Fifteen!! I found Jamie Oliver's restaurant! Unfortunately he wasn't thereヅ. Jamie Oliver for president!

Picture five: Notting Hill. It was so nice to just walk around there... The houses were so cute!

There's a market around there too (Portobello Road Market), but it's just open once a week (Sundays). And of course I missed it...!

Picture six: The Globe theatre. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and was destroyed by fire on June 29th 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642.

A modern reconstruction of the Globe, named "Shakespeare's Globe", opened in 1997 approximately 230 metres (750 ft) from the site of the original theatre.

Picture one: Phone booths ヅ

Picture two: Me on the millennium bridge!

Picture three: St. Paul's Cathedral seen from the Millennium bridge. It is the seat of the Bishop of London.

Picture four: Me and my awesome friend Chidde. He lives in London!

Picture five: Be sure to mind the gap, please! This "phrase", mind the gap, can even be found on thongs... A bit too much if you ask me ヅ

Picture six: Oh, yeah, KEEP LEFT! I don't know how many times I almost got run over by a car cause I looked the wrong way as I was crossing the street...! Talk about learning the hard way! ヅ

Picture one: One more picture inside Westminster Abbey. It sure was amazing.

Picture two: Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch. I only went there once, that night... And no, I didn't try to make the Queen's guard laugh...!

Picture three: Memorial statue of Queen Victoria.

Picture four: Call me a dork, YES I love Harry Potter! ヅ
