Wednesday 1 February - Borough Market

It has been wet today,, very much like in Ireland - it is either just about tio start raining or has just stopped.  We walked out as far as Earls Court, didn't like the area and took the underground to Southwark and walked to Borough Market.  This is the first time we have seen it in full swing at lunch time on a weekday.  The place was popping and everybody seemed to be eating something from the amazing variety of foods available. It was fun just walking around watching people.





After a Notting Hill Pale Ale (cask) we walked along by the river, past Tower Bridge as far as Butlers Wharf.

This plaque commemorates that the Austrian GeneralHaynau was run out of Southwark on September 4, 1850.

We returned via Tower Bridge to Tower Hill and the District Line.
