Sunday was another great day in London. Erika and I jumped on the bus and headed to London Station to meet up with Meg (who is another friend of mine staying in the city) and we walked to the market for brunch, grabbed something yummy to eat, and then were on to Brick Lane to enjoy the rest of the day.We ate brunch at Up Market, and Erika ended up having a Pork Sandwich (which she had been dreaming about for days) and as it turns out they actually roast a whole pig and when
you order a sandwich they shave off your pork right in front of you. It was delicious.After lunch we headed through the market and then landed in Brick Lane. Brick Lane is a long street in the East end of London and derives its current name from the fact that the area was a former brick and tile manufacture that began in the 15th century. Today there are lots of markets and great vintage finds, not to mention lots and lots of people, which I am finding is definitely the one thing London has a lot of. They seem to be everywhere all the time. Lots and lots of people.
The streets were lined with people selling their clothes, antiques, shoes, purses, glasses and much more on their own blankets along the way. There were lots of vintage shops and a great vibe around the area. The 3 of us needed a drink after all our shopping so we grabbed a bottle of vino and joined the crowds of people relaxing on the public picnic tables.It was a great Sunday afternoon with great friends, good wine, amazing weather and cool sights. Who knows what the rest of the week will bring.
