Brunch, Burough Market and Tea

 What beautiful weather we are having this weekend!  We started our day with brunch at The Breakfast Club.  It was delicious!





After brunch we wandered through the Burough Market.  Everything is so colorful and beautiful.  The markets here in England are really wonderful!














After the market we meandered along the Queen’s Walk that runs along the River Thames.  There’s tons of cool and interesting things to see along the way.


The Queen’s ship the HMS Belfast.


This is the London Bridge - nothing fancy or interesting!






 
The Tower of London where all the beheadings took place.





The Shard


This is Tower Bridge - often mistaken for London Bridge.



The highlight of the day was Afternoon Tea at The Shard.  It’s on the 33rd floor with amazing views.  The tea is Peter Pan themed.  It was a treat from Lindsey and was delightful!

Treats are served on a pirate ship!









The sweets!



Scones are served in a treasure chest.

After a brief rest at our hotel we headed out for the night - and yes it’s still light but it doesn’t get dark here til around 10:00!  We checked out Leicester Square where all the movies premier here in London.  Covent Gardens is always neat but also super crowded.  We finished our day with snacks and drinks at our hotel rooftop restaurant.
