Catherine showed me around her old stomping grounds in London last week. We walked around, ate surprisingly good food (despite the British stereotype), and hit the requisite tourist sites – Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Notting Hill, etc. I also had the chance to meet up with Venu, and old friend from my Swedish class at Harvard, and Steph and Olie, a couple of British friends I met in Japan.
Eat! Above: Ploughman’s Lunch at The Spaniard’s Inn, Hampstead
Below: Fish & Chips. Ok, these are from Giraffe, a chain in Heathrow before my flight back, but it was actually pretty good I had to get my mushy peas fix before leaving the UK
Drink! Below: Summer in England = Pimm’s, of course! @ the Scarsdale Tavern, Kensington
Above: Some photos from the Elephant Parade 2010
