Day 22: London

London, oh how the bright lights beckon. Me and two friends boarded a Virgin (unfortunate use of words, sorry mum) towards the capital earlier today, the weather extremely hot and sticky. After wandering around aimlessly, we lounged in Hyde Park for a short while, then on to Portobello Road which on the one hand was pleasingly hip, but on the other, excruciatingly busy.

In the evening we ended up in Wapping where John Torrino (according to his name badge), the friendly tube station worker advised us that the Captain Kidd pub overlooking the Thames is the place to be. Apparantly his job is to stand at the tube station entrance, smoking. The Captain Kidd in Wapping is indeed a recommend if anyone happens to be in that part of the world.

The day ended with a trip to Brick Lane where we bought some crisps and a bag of Maltesers to share. Not really. We had a curry.
