London 2017/18 - Part 1

London Calling

Friday - December 29th 2017

Like last year Claudia and I wanted to spend New Year's Eve in London and so Thursday after work we packed our stuff and drove to Munich Airport. Since our Easyjet flight was departing early in the morning, we stayed at the Novotel for one night. Friday morning we took the bus to the terminal, went through the security checks and had a small breakfast before departure. Once we arrived at Gatwick Airport near London, we took the ThamesLink train into the city. We got off at London Bridge and headed straight to Borough Market for lunch. There we got a vegan burger and after we strolled around the market, we got thirsty. Since London is full of great and beautiful pubs, we entered the nearest one called The Globe Tavern and enjoyed some beers until it was time to head to our hotel. Like during all of our recent London trips, we stayed in Wandsworth Town at the Holiday Inn Express, which is just about 12 minutes by train from Waterloo Station. After we checked in, it was time for dinner. Claudia and I decided to try the Pizza Express in Wandsworth and we weren't disppointed. The restaurant offered a vegan pizza and it was quite tasty. Before we returned to the hotel, we stopped at our favourite pub in London - The Alma Wandsworth.
