Today we travelled to eastern part of London.
Can’t contain my excitement as the “real” part of London journey begins. The
city that fascinates me with its amazing cityscape and impressive architecture.
At a distance, the skylines (The Shard and St. Mary Axe) exude a sense of identity
and strength for the city. Can’t really believe that the iconic buildings are
now come to live with my own eyes {{{(=.=)}}} I love the way the city blends
classic with modern architecture! <3>
We took off to Tower Bridge – one of the
famous tourist attractions. The area is a mixed of old and new buildings of the
11th Century along with the iconic buildings such as The Shard and St Mary Axe.
Not to be confused with “London Bridge”, Tower Bridge is a little further down
to River Thames.
Let our family expedition begins!
I had my first few views of captured here - building behind is St Mary Axe
And may i present to you The Shard
Can't get enough of Tower Bridge photo #^_^#
Group posey shot with the iconic buildings! ^.^
Open-concept office with a view of Tower Bridge (How cool is that?)
It’s a lovely thing to sit on the colourful
benches and enjoy the unparalleled views.
This Tower Bridge fascinated me with its
classic look.
Can’t resist a #deepinreflection shot!
A view along the Thames – the water made a
wonderful view!
Our next move is food hunting of course?! Bourough market - A quaint little street market with irresistible food! You’ll
be spoilt with the choices of food here. Everything looked so tempting, we were
really having a fun time snacking around and NOTE: Don’t arrive at the market
with an empty stomach, you’ll have a hard time deciding what to eat – ranging from
Paella, cocktail mixtures, fresh seafood, cheese, cold cuts, roast hogs, fudge, Baklava and they
even had pad Thai! O_o
Best sausage ever!
Matching my pant colour with the restaurant for some candid snapshots!
CaffeNero - You can get your caffeine-fixed as they can be found at every nook and corner.
The elaborate carved church frontage with its intricacy.

Can't resist the big and juicy strawberries (❁´◡`❁)*✲
We completed our historic visit by visiting Tower of London. There are some truly spectacular historical buildings here but what I like about the place is the Royal London morning tours! The private guided tour explained the
history behind this fortress of imprisonment and torture which leads us into
the world heritage site. P/s: With British humour added in well *winks*
This one looked particularly awesome so I
snapped it!
The place was bustling with crowd.
Reignite that feeling for the luxury
nobility experienced in years past.
With nothing much to do, we then head to watch
some musical shows. One show that captured my attention was STOMP performance
as I recalled my college peers used to perform a similar show in one of our
annual night and it was unique back then. So, without hesitation, we bought
ticket to watch the much anticipated show of the night. The STOMP cast uses
everything from brooms, garbage bans, trashcans, matchboxes, grocery carts, and
Zippo lighters to create fantastic rhythms that get. The performance just blew
us away. The immensity of the performance and each of the mini-show was nailed to
perfection. I was awestruck by the Zippo-lighter session. …(⊙_⊙;)…
That's all for a tiring but fun Day 2. The views and among others were eternally captured in my memory as we view London in completely unique way. More pictures to come for a historical beauty city!
