Hey team! I have been a busy bee this week, writing, researching, GETTING A JOB (finally!) and this weekend I celebrated with a visit to the big LDN. I took a load of snaps, so here's a selection of my trips to Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Brick Lane and the adorable Columbia Road. I want to live in London immediately.
Me and Salinger on my journey
Covent Garden had their annual cultural programme on and artist Charles Pétillon had filled the market's ceiling with 100,000 balloons and it was like walking through the clouds, dreamy. I didn't know much about him before this installation but it's titled Heartbeat and is meant to bring a playful element to what would usually be a mundane environment and his other artworks with balloons are amazing. So pretty.
True tourist.
I love Brick Lane and banana bread and the two together is a dream come true.
Columbia Road was my favourite, so gorgeous. If like me, you love wandering through markets and like Brick Lane or Camden, I'd definitely recommend Columbia Road. Books, vintage, flowers and sunshine, what could be better? I ended up wandering into Hoxton Mini Press where there was a book launch (don't ask me how I got there) and got offered free Pimms so as far as Sundays go, this one was pretty much perfect. Oh, and a busker singing Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks, I mean, come on!!

Sunny Afternoon.
Goodness gracious I love London. I covered so much ground and still missed so much! Brick Lane was, as always, beautiful and full of the most delicious looking street food and vintage bikes. I forever love Covent Garden and there's still nothing quite like Carnaby Street. Until next time, LDN.
Cheerio,
Hope x
