South Bank Wander

Today was a short day – we slept in late enough we had lunch for breakfast, at a hole in the wall, counter-service, mom and pop kinda place known as a local favourite for fish and chips. The portions were massive – we couldn’t finish it all.

So much fish, and this is us sharing the chips order…

After lunch we took the tube to Covent Garden, then wandered over the bridge to Waterloo. The markets and street food created a vibrancy in the streets, combined with a celebratory feeling for Pride. The number of people in some places, like the Borough Market, was absolutely overwhelming.

Interesting architecture abounds on the South Bank

Beach! Not quite the same as home, though.

Remains of the Great Hall of Winchester Palace, twelfth century

We grabbed dinner at a burger place built into an old Tannery Hall, then walked across Tower Bridge to catch a train back to the hotel. Dave exclaimed that “our timing is perfect!” As the bridge stopped traffic right in front of us, so it could be opened for a pair of tall ships. A good day.
