Shopping in London. London's favourite shopping streets - Street Sensation! Mille choses à faire à Londres.

The reason? Christmas shopping for my family. Why here? Well, good question--try minus temperatures and the very British habit of joining a queue... I was certainly glad I did, seeing the vast array of alcohol of all strengths, colours, bottle shapes, logos and reputations led me to believe I had just entered an adults version of a candy store. Angleterre - Londres » Cachemire et soie - Blog de fille à Paris, mode, style parisien (2) C’est toujours un peu décevant, ces visites « toutes faites » : tour de la ville en autocar, dîner en bateau-mouche… ça a généralement un vilain goût de je ne sais pas quoi.

Un goût de fake (pardon papa, je sais que je ne dois pas faire d’anglicisme: un goût de de contrefaçon), vous ne trouvez pas? Le petit bateau que nous avons pris à Camden pour rejoindre Little Venice n’a pas échappé à la règle. Sur une péniche que nous aurions pilotée nous-mêmes, nous nous serions autrement plus amusés, ralentissant la où c’était le plus joli, prenant le temps qu’il faut et jouant à faire des ronds dans l’eau.

Au lieu de quoi, nous avons filé, filé, filé. Ca n’a pas traîné la visite! Le moteur semblait dire « Et que ça saute! Puis nous sommes arrivés à Little Venice qui ne porte pas très bien son nom, à mon avis : rien à voir avec la vraie Venise. La première fois que j’ai entendu parler de Neal’s yard, c’était il y a des années, à la télévision. Bonne journée amis blogosphériques! Eu - Londres | Eleonore Bridge, blog mode, site féminin, Paris - Part 2. Pull & other stories, shirt La Redoute *, chaussures Creeks, sac Madewell, pants H&M Voilà 2 years I n & rsquo; was not returned to my beloved city, Eurostar offers were right to month, j & rsquo; have cracked (for real eh, j & rsquo; bought my train ticket as a great).

Yet I know that c & rsquo; is a little ruin each time but the & rsquo; call drizzle and baked beans was stronger than anything. J & rsquo; took the opportunity to spend a few days with some friends who live in the South Kensington side. J & rsquo; love this area with its mixture of styles, whole streets of Victorian buildings that s & rsquo; alternate with large red brick houses, with cold and steaming soil under it is in the middle of real film sets. J & rsquo; love this neighborhood <3 I come back very quickly with full d & rsquo; other cool rides and a small guide ;) Promenades & Milk shakes – London, Sept 2011 Last week, I went to spend a few days in London with friends who had a sofa bed available. The definitive city guide for the mobile generation | london.unlike. BrewDog make awesome beers. And, despite the fact that it’s potentially bankrupting to buy one of said beers on draught in London, they’ve seized the UK’s alternative brewing crown with a triumphant, yeasty fist — opening bars up and down England and Scotland (and, bizarrely, one in Sao Paulo).

There’s something extra special about their venue in Shoreditch, though, that sets it apart from the rest. Under the bar, at the nether limits of a dead-end hallway stands a cupboard. Behind this cupboard… Can you see where we’re going here? Yup, they went and jumped on the speakeasy train.
