How was your weekend? We made a flying visit to London Town on Saturday for David’s belated Christmas work get together.

We didn’t have much time so after checking into our hotel, which was a couple of minutes walk from Buckingham Palace, we headed over to the South Bank. It was an enjoyable and refreshing walk (it was rather cold) across Waterloo Bridge towards The National Theatre. I do love the ecclectic atmosphere around there with the incredible stark concrete brutalism of the National Theatre, the graffiti, the street art and The Southbank Centre amongst other delights.

I had my eye on an original print in the Southbank Centre shop by Paul Catherall. After much indecision (justifying the price to myself) and a coffee and a lemon tart in between, I bought it. As soon as I get it framed I will take a few pics and reveal it in all it’s glory.

In the evening we had Champagne in Claridges and then a fantastic meal in the private dining room of Quilon which is a Michelin star restaurant.

All in all a very enjoyable weekend.

All of the pics above were taken by me except for the last one which was taken by David.
