Love London

I never tire of London when travelling with a camera. As Dr Samuel Johnson said “when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”

Check out my VLOG for highlights from this visit:

Les Misérables – The All-Star Staged Concert at the Gielgud Theatre was amazing. Matt Lucas (little did I know he could sing!) was hilarious. Alfie Boe, Michael Ball along with the rest of the cast, made for a very memorable evening. Les Mis is the world’s longest running musical.

Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre which has been highly acclaimed – an American musical which is sung and rapped. It is about the life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Very different but sensational. An interesting part of history too, Hamilton fitted a lot into his short 47 years having come from a tough upbringing in The Caribbean.

Camden Town circumambulating is great fun.  The street art, market & shop fronts are amazing. My inaugural visit to Brixton too.  A great place for a foodie to wander. Amazing fresh products and an array of spices.  Loads of restaurants and pop ups here too – I will be back. The Portobello Garden Caffe is literally a hidden gem on Portobello Road in Notting Hill, London. You enter via an alleyway and find yourself in a restaurant in Italy – must visit!

I finally got to Little Venice after visiting the Paddington Bear statue in the station itself.  You will find the cheeky little chap on Platform 1.  A short walk from here along the Grand Canal leads you to a picturesque area with quirky cafes, house boats, restaurants, boat trips and lots more.

I never knew there was a Little Ben clock tower in London either. LB sits by Victoria station mimicking his Big Ben brother at the other end of the street.

What I love about London is that every corner you turn, you learn or see something new.  See you soon London!
