The International Quarter in behind westfiled shopping centre- and it's where the london colour run was held- all round the olympic park!
This looks like amazing fun!
Ray wanted us to sign up for one in Oxford but as today is John's 40th Birthday we have postponed for another year!
After our scouting mission, we took the docklands railway to Greenwich- to see the observatory and the Greenwich meridian line- I watched an episode of coast about them so I've really wanted to see them for myself for ages!
It's £8 to look round the observatory-which is really good value- but as the weather was so good we decided to leave it for now- That can be a winter activity!
We also had mexican and cocktails for lunch :D
Yummy!
We also went to see the Cutty Sark tea clipper
And then walked along the thames path to see the statue of "Peter the great" because we'd never heard of him and wahted to know what he did.
Now we want to know who his minion is and if the sculptor was tim burton!
They look very corpse bride, no?
We followed the path for ages looking at the views and different neighbourhoods- We ended up walking 5 miles along the thames path before we walked into deptford and picked up the london overground.
Lots of exercise.
We decided we deserved cake so went to Oxford street in search of the humming bird bakery.
I haven't been there for years!
We got our cakes to take away and ate them on a step near oxford street.
We also found this awesome shop just off dean street:
Then we went for tea in M&S on Oxford street before we took the train home.
I'm exhausted, but I did have a very good day.
