Anyone who watched a T.V. show in the 60’s called Combat would totally understand!
Walkie Talkie Day!
Imposing building, impressive view!
It’s like a different world up there. We spent about an hour looking at Saturday morning London from the sky.
Pick out the Gherkin.
Walking towards the Thames, we passed the oldest church in London, All Hallows by the Tower, founded in 675AD! Another contrast of the old and the new.
In more ways than one!
We headed to the Maltby Street food market where Katie reckons they make the best cheese toasties in the world. She’s pretty right. Not just any cheese toastie either. How about stilton, bacon and pear chutney? Or chorizo, brie and onion? Heart attack heaven.
We had to line our stomachs ready for the afternoon’s activities- tackling the Bermondsey Beer Mile.
The Bermondsey Beer Mile is basically a ready-made brewery crawl that stretches 1.4 miles under the railway line arches in South London. What a great concept!
The breweries are compact little places tucked into an archway space, each with their own unique character. I think there are 17 altogether. We managed to visit only 3 of them…mainly because the brews were pretty potent!
Katie had to leave us and go wedding dress shopping with her friend Georgia (for Georgia, not Katie), so Chris, John and I bravely soldiered on, with Chris’ mate Zac joining us. Sorry Katie, but I know where I’d rather be!
Zac is a chef and we are going to sample his fare on Thursday!
We met up with the girls back at Angel for dinner. Chris tells me Angel Station has the longest escalator on the entire Underground.
After the Bermondsey Beer Mile, I was ready to believe anything!
