It's that number 1 champion sound

So on Thursday we made our way into London once again. Our train rides in were easier this time, but once again the train was so full we had to stand the whole way in. With "Summer" here, as well as Wimbledon, it meant that London was even busier than before!

Building near Tottenham Court Road

Mickaela set off to meet a friend and go to a King's of Leon concert in Hyde Park, so Adam and I went to meet his family at Tottenham Court Road. Adam, his dad and I then walked around the streets here, lined with many different electronics shops, in search of a new camera for Adam. Once we had checked out enough stores, Adam finally got the camera he wanted. We then had lunch at a Subway on Oxford street, before getting back on the Underground to go to Knightsbridge, and the famous department store - Harrod's.

We walked through the building, looking at all the amazing stuff they have to offer (fashion, jewelry, furniture, art, food...) as well as the store itself, which is extremely opulent and luxurious! Not only did it remind us of how poor we are, but also of how rich some others are! We tried to take it all in, and then eventually went to meet Adam's mom and sister at a restaurant nearby.

Our next port of call was a quick stop at St Pancreas International station, so that Adam could have a look at where to meet his family the next day when they would head out to Paris...

We all then went to Camden town, a really cool and eccentric part of London, famous for its markets and alternative people. There are all sorts of people there, sporting colourful hair, tattoos, piercings and everything in between! It is a good place to go shopping for curious items and trendy stuff, and there really is so much on offer here! We got there relatively late, but it was still packed with people walking around the High street and visiting the stalls and stores!

It really is a unique and colourful place, and it seems that you can get a piercing or tattoo done at basically any shop, regardless of what they sell! Once the shops closed at about 6, we went to dinner at a Chinese buffet there. The food was really good and we made sure we ate as much as we could!

We then caught the tube back to London Paddington, and the train back to Goring from there. It was a nice day that wasn't as hectic as our other London trips, but nonetheless offered us so much to see and do!
