Take A Walk On The Wild Side

Tuesday afternoon, I’m feeling adventurous again. Let’s go to the East side. Getting out of Waterloo, walking against the freezing wind that makes my five layers feel like I’m not wearing anything at all. Gloves, checked, ridiculous hat, checked, furry scarf, definitely checked, useless sunglasses that make me look like some kind of hiding celebrity, mmm checked.

The excuse being I need to find a decent restaurant giving on the Thames to take my friends on New Years Eve, that is, before crashing the masquerade ball situated around the corner from Waterloo. Turns out, the wonderful fireworks everyone has been talking about won’t happen before midnight, time where I’m hoping to be somewhere warm exchanging a kiss under the mistletoe.

So after selecting the only fish restaurant that still had a spot available to look at the beautiful London scenery outside, I decided to look for some hints of Christmas. Well there were plenty of them. Cafes, restaurant, The London Shakespeare Theatre, museums, all of these had incorporated Christmas some how in their surroundings.

Looking for a less traditional aspect of Christmas? Go to the Tate and check out their recyclable Christmas tree. Stop at the local pub, make a Christmas roasting reservation and look at the sand drawings made in the embankment of The Thames. Now, we’re talking Christmas London style.

That’s all for now, find out where I am on my last day tomorrow!
