Last Knightsbridge

Last night WAS our last night in London.
And...it was the most fun I have ever had in one day...ever.
Here is a play-by-play:

PORTOBELLO ROAD
We got up and headed out to Portobello Road, I had never been there and wanted to go more than anything. But it always seemed to get put off. But yesterday...I got to go...and take all of the time in the world.


I love these houses.

Okay, this was the most enchanting bakery that I saw the whole time I was in London.
The Hummingbird Bakery. (You will see a photo of one of the cupcakes that I bought later in the day =) )


The best red velvet cake on the planet. With cream cheese frosting...mmmm...


So many cool antique shops...

In the background they were playing "Pink Martini."



COVENT GARDEN
This was were Kath wanted to go. I am so glad that we went. I got my little brother the best smelling cologne on the planet at Penhaligons and then we went for afternoon tea at Punch and Judy.

Water condensation on one of the spouts.


Help me please. This was so good...



I love these pictures...


Yeah...it was nice to have a little sunshine...


LEICESTER SQUARE
Kath and I sat down on a bench and just people watched for a good hour in Leicester Square. I never realized how close it was to Covent Garden and Picadilly Circus.
Oh...what a fun day!

Charlie Chaplin.



PICADILLY CIRCUS
I love Picadilly Circus.





HARD ROCK LONDON, THE ORIGINAL
Every true musician has to make it here at least once in their life.



The two guitars that started it all. One belongs to Eric Clapton, the other to Pete Townsend.


OUR LAST DINNER


SAYING GOODBYE TO MY LONDON


This place leaves me awe struck...


My Hummingbird Bakery cupcake that I saved till the very end...

It started getting very late, and as we were walking down to the tube, he started playing "Amazing Grace"....oh...the tears that came...goodbye.

I think this kid knew something that we didn't.
