Spitalfields Market

Last month Xenia and I took a long awaited trip to London. We had postponed a few times because of the persistent rain that we have had in England for so long. After the obligatory first stop on Oxford Street for some shopping we went to Liverpool Street Station to Ponti's for lunch with Nathan and met up with Chris as well. After lunch we went over to Spitalfields Market which on Thursday has an Antiques/Retro section. I love old suitcases and cameras and kitchenware so although it was hot and sticky it was really interesting. Another time I will go straight there. We met Teri briefly for an ice cream then took a look over at Brick Lane on our way to a thrift shop that was advertised on the internet but had gone. We took a taxi back to Waterloo Station so did a little bit more sightseeing as we went. We won't be venturing back to London until after the Olympics now. I love this area of London.

Patriotic Oxford Street.

My favourite handbag stall.

Great food at Ponti's, Liverppol Street Station.

Yes it's famous!

Browsing at the vintage camera stall.

It was so hot I needed this sundae at Valerie's Patisserie

Teri caught up with us for a while.
