Spent a very pleasant - but incredibly warm - day in London yesterday. Revisited Spitalfields and Brick Lane as a tourist rather than for business exhibiting my work. It was an eye opener - it seems this area is extraordinarily busy on a Sunday. Who'd-a thought it? After visiting the House of David Severs on Folgate Street which was very interesting - an assault on the senses - sight, sound and smell. Wonderful. We then had lunch in the Water Poet. I loved the menu:
Next we walked along Fournier Street - which if you know your Ripper history is crammed with it. I loved this view looking back towards Christ Church on Commercial Street. The houses were the most delightful colours.
We came across a bookshop and Sue took the opportunity to find a gift for Lynette.
We then headed along Brick Lane where all the restaurants are and I spotted a man carrying a plant.
We then headed into the madness that is the Brick Lane Market.
Pushed through the crowds.
And marvelled at how many melons were sold - the whole place smelt of melons.
And finally back to Spitalfields Market for a refreshing drink.
