Our first stop!!!! |
On the day we landed, we went straight to Harrod's for high tea. It was a dream come true experience!!! |
Scones, Laduree macaroons, pastries and finger sandwiches from the exquisite high tea we had at Harrod's. |
The beautiful and moving tribute to Diana and Dodi at Harrod's. You will get teary eyed viewing this emotional tribute!!! |
First day and all excited at one of the markets. |
Myself in the heat of haggle at the markets. |
There was such great food at all of our markets. We did not go hungry!!! |
Our "Dim Sum" steamed bun lunch at the market. |
a beautiful old and very large photo tribute to the queen on the side of one of the buildings downtown. |
An iconic London pub, that has been around for years. |
An old, old pub we ate at, that has hosted many of famous people in its over 400 years of existence. Charles Dickens and lots of other famous writers would come here to drink and eat back in the day. |
Our delicious Wild Mushroom Pilaf we had at the old Chesire. |
Fun and really crowded Portabello Road market. |
The crowds at Portabello. |
Lots of fun antique pieces to choose from down on Portabello Road. |
My new favorite London store and clothing line. (more about this in a later post.) |
We were in Heaven when we found this antique fair and market that took place in an old 19th century palace. |
Imagine an old palace this size filled with nothing but antiques for sale! |
Oh yes, we spent the whole entire day here, just drooling over the beautiful antiques on display. |
Mary Kay and the London skyline just before we entered the palace full of antiquties. |
