London Weekend with Meaghan

The beautiful Ice rink outside the National History Museum, Friday Night.

Saturday morning we spent looking at vintage and antiques at Portobello Road market. I think I might have a go at making this simple and comfy looking tunic.
This was our deliciously disgusting dinner on Saturday night. We found a little American style diner off Leicester square, complete with a juke box, burgers and milkshakes. So much fun!
Sunday morning we went back to the flower market on Columbia road, possibly my favourite place in London! Definitely my favourite way to spend a Sunday morning in any case. We discovered a Pub there that sells warm spiced cider, yum!
Awesome bagels with the best thick cream cheese, 90p from Brick Lane Beigel Bake.

Oh, Beigels how I love thee.

The Ten Bells on Commercial St. This was the old haunt of Jack the Ripper victims! It was established in 1753. People have been drinking here since before the First Fleet arrived in Australia! Awesome. Aside from the great historical background it was not the nicest pub of the day, the dodgy music and dirty smells meant we left after one drink.

We had the nicest Sunday beverages though at the Commercial Tavern, up the road from the Ten Bells. The decor is so adorable and the ale was delicious! (It was dark though and my photos didn't turn out, so this one is from here). Definitely worth a visit.

Oh, I miss london. Your photos are amazing. Love the ice skating and Ten Bells pub. I went there while I was researching a Jack the Ripper paper! That area is still a bit creepy!
