On Sunday I headed up to London for my Maid of Honor's birthday. Mum, Bean and I decided to head to London early so that we could spend a few hours together, wandering, and looking at the sites.
On Saturday I had a look online on Time Out London to see what sort of things we could do for a few hours before we had to meet Lydia and her mum at 3pm for Afternoon Tea at the Haymarket Hotel.
The first place we headed was Columbia Road in Shoreditch for the flower market. There were loads of fantastic shops and the street had been transformed into an oasis full of flowers and plants; everything from gorgeous, freshly cut flowers to fruit trees and cacti.
We wandered through Columbia Road, popped into a gorgeous perfume shop, some cool antique shops and found a cute little square where a guy was playing his guitar and people were sitting about drinking coffee and eating bagels, all with their flowers and plants in tow.
From here we wandered around to Brick Lane where, of course, another fabulous Sunday market was happening.
These are really the bits of London that are real that show the diversity of the city.
