one of the first people we encountered upon entering London was a gal asking, " and WHY did you leave Italy?"
again, my husband and i had no idea what to expect.
neither of us are really the type to plan ahead and research where we're going.
at least this time traveling we(my hubs) actually booked hotels.
our trip to italy 3 years ago we totally winged it.
no hotels booked, no itinerary, no idea how to read their traffic signs.
we had about $300 in tickets arrive in the mail months later. ha!
(i wasn't laughing at the time)
i thought these CUTE taxis were just in the movies!!!
and just look at this wall of plants!
polenta chips
we scored on awesome meals. a babaganoush burger, yum.
i have to admit, i was giddy to have a BIG cup of coffee again!
regent street
the taxis totally make this city for me.
with honorable mention going to the tube and red telephone booths.
this was in the Earls Court area where our hotel was.
have you been to London? if so, what was your favorite part?
i have a bunch more pictures to show you but i'm running out of energy.
hope you are well my friend.
wow, these pictures make London look amazing.

That green wall is uber-cool! Where is it?
My favorite parts of London? Maybe the markets, Camden and Portobello. And the theatre-design exhibition at the V&A, or the contemporary portraits at the National Portrait Gallery. Or hanging around Covent Garden. Or... or...
I´ll just have to show you! :-D

I lived in London on Collingham Place just 2 blocks from Earl Court tube station my junior year in college for a semester in London. Wow...I don't think I could pick my favorites, the musuems, the indian food, the ice cream trucks, tough to narrow it down.

Covent Garden area!

I love Kensington Garden. (and Hyde Park) Every one has teeny tiny dogs since they live in teeny tiny apartments. Notting Hill is a fun place to shop--the market is fantastic. And I love all the Indian food you can get at the pubs. Had fantastic food every time I've been to London. British Museum......but I love the city of Bath even better! We are thinking of heading over there again in the spring. Looks like you had fun on this trip!
