Weekends are just the best thing on the planet. I love them so much. And this one in particular! On Friday night we went to go see Billy Elliot with some friends and absolutely loved it! We are now theatre obsessed and have already organised to go see Stomp with them next weekend!
Saturday was a day full of awesomeness. We headed to our favourite Borough Market to start the day off with a coffee from Monmouth (an absolute must in London!) and some breakfast hot dogs, before strolling along the south bank, ducking into the Tate Modern to check out 'Inland Australia' seeing as it was Australia day. We continued strolling up to Hyde Park where we hired some bikes to go for a lovely winter cycle through the park and Kensington Gardens. That is my recommended way to explore the enormous Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens. On a bike, they just don't feel so big any more. It's amazing.
Afterwards, we checked out the new Whole Foods at Piccadilly Circus and nearly died from happiness! We got the most delicious burritos for lunch and took home some interesting beers to have with our takeaway curry date night at home while watching Silver Linings Playbook (aka my recent favourite film).
Sunday was the day to sleep in and chill out while watching the tennis, before going for a stroll along and around King's Road - our favourite Sunday destination in London, to pick up some blooms and have a yummy late lunch.
Weekends, you are the best!

It looks like you had such great weather in London over the weekend! We had gale force winds & rain so we pretty much stayed inside all weekend.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, there is nothing better than Monmouth coffee is there, I absolutely LOVE it! Thankfully, my local cafe serves it :)
ReplyDeleteLove all your photos....I keep trying to see "Silver Linings", it seems to have missed my local cinema.
Have a great week XX
I also watched 'Silver Linings Playbook' this week and was completely underwhelmed. But I guess you and I can't share the same taste on EVERYTHING, it was starting to get ridiculous ;) I've always wanted to go see Billy Elliot in the theatre sometime as well, seeing as thát film is actually one of MY favourites <3
ReplyDeleteBtw I think you suggested the 17th for meeting up? That'd be great! X

ReplyDeleteSeriously? Your weekend sounds AMAZING! I really need to make an effort to get out more, rather than getting bogged down by chores. By the time I clean up and do laundry, my Saturday is gone. Wah :(

ReplyDeletedo people tell you all the time that you have the most beautiful eyes? you do!!
ReplyDeleteand I agree - weekends are thee best!
London, one of the best city I've been to! I was hoping we are going to stay in a hotel near Hyde Park or Buckingham but my mom belatedly told us that we are staying in a hotel near luton airport. Not a problem though because we were still able to enjoy the whole London.
