London 2019/20 - Part 1

London, Baby!

Sunday - December 29th 2019

Traveling to London over New Year's Eve had become some sort of a tradition for Claudia and me, and this year was no exception. Our easyjet flight to London Gatwick departed in Munich early morning, that's why we spent the night at the Novotel Munich Airport. Around noon we arrived at London Gatwick airport, from where we took the train to London Bridge. There we left our luggage at a nearby luggage storage and checked out Borough Market to get something to eat for lunch. Unfortunately nothing appealed to us and so we decided to eat at Pret-A-Manger.

Afterwards we walked to the Thames and there we came across a lovely pub. Of course we had to get a welcome drink. A half pint later we left again to headed back to Borough Market. On the way back we stopped at Southwark Cathedral and got a coffee and a brownie at the Cathedral Cafe. Before we picked up our luggage again, we had to get a beer at the Globe Tavern, because we always stop there on arrival day for a welcome drink. Later Claudia and I took the metro to Waterloo Station and from there the train to Wandsworth Town. Since 2015 we always stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Wandsworth and this year was no exception. After we checked in and dropped off our luggage, we headed to our favourite pub to to spend the rest of the evening there.
