DLR Discovery Tour and Greenwich

The UK summer is continuing with the sunshine makes the surroundings look so beautiful! My boyfriend and I went on a DLR discovery tour which started at Tower Gateway and finished a Greenwich. Here are my thoughts on the tour along with some photos of Greenwich.

When we arrived we were given a goody bag with headphones, pen, puzzle, oyster holder, and pin (see photo below). The DLR staff were friendly including Doris the DLR character! Along with a audio set to listen to the tour guide on, though I was skeptical about this at first due to initial technical difficulties it was really helpful when walking around Greenwich as I could always hear the tour guide. 

We were put on our own DLR which didn't stop along the tour (much to the disappointment to those waiting to get on the DLR!). The first part of the tour focused on the history docklands going through Shadwell, Limehouse, Canary Wharf and ending at Greenwich. The tour then continued on foot. 

The tour of Greenwich was fascinating, focusing on the buildings which looked amazing in the glorious sunshine! Greenwich has always been one of my favourite parts of London as it's like a small town with beautiful architecture, a history focusing on astrology, a food and craft markets and plenty of green open space. A great place to relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of London life. 

What is your favourite place to visit in London? 

Love,

Day Out: Camden Market, Primrose Hill and Regents Park

Hope you are all enjoying your bank holiday weekend so far! Today, as the weather was the perfect summers day, sunny with a fresh breeze, I decided to take a walk. I started at Camden Town walking through Camden Market, Primrose Hill and Regents Park before getting the tube home from Baker Street. Prepare yourself for a lot of photos in this blog post, which I hope you enjoy as much as enjoyed taking them! Camden Shop Fronts When I first arrived at Camden Town the first thing that caught my eye was the bold shop displays. All brightly coloured, some with impressive 3D features which you can't help but admire. Pret a Manger and Acessorize Shop Fronts. 3D Shop Fronts More 3D Shop Fronts. Camden Lock  Nothing beats a stroll down a river to clear you mind! I love the mixture of buildings covered by weeping willow trees.

Day Out: A Walk Round Covent Garden

Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday! This morning I decided to take a stroll round Covent Garden and up to Tottenham Court Road. The weather was not as sunny as yesterday but thankfully, there was only light rain. Covent Garden always feels like taking a step back in time with the old stunning architecture and cobbled streets. The Jubilee Market is all indoors (great for poor weather) and filled with handmade treasures! There was so much beautiful jewellery, paintings, sculptures and pottery. I have made a mental note to go back there for Christmas presents! I then stopped for breakfast at Starbucks to have Peach Lemonade Ice Tea and Five Grain Oatmeal which is delicious! After I finished in Covent Garden I walked up to Tottenham Court Road to go to Primark for bedding (exciting I know!). On the way, I walked past an antique bookshop which I would have loved to have gone in but sadly it is was closed! I also stopped to take pictures of the Harry...

Booja-Booja Fine De Champagne Truffles Review

Now, who doesn't love chocolate? I certainly do! Though, I try not to eat it too often partly because I know it is not good for you and partly because dairy can make me bloat (attractive, I know!!). These Booja-Booja Fine De Champagne Truffles are by far my favourite chocolate treat. They are dairy-free and only contain six natural ingredients. Unlike most dairy-free chocolates I have tried these actually melt in your mouth and have a smooth centre similar to the creamy and smooth centre of Lindt truffles. The light champagne taste is subtle and comes as more of a refreshing aftertaste. It takes a lot of willpower for me not to eat the whole box in one sitting! The packaging is also beautiful making them a lovely gift for friends, family and even for yourself!  What is your favourite sweet treat?  Love,  E. x
