London 2022/23 - Part 3

New Year's Eve
 
Saturday - December 31st 2022
 
The last day of the year was here and it started like the days before with croissants for breakfast. Afterwards we took the train to Waterloo Station and from there we walked to Trafalgar Square and along The Mall to Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately it started to rain and so we stopped at the next Starbucks for a late breakfast. On the way to Whole Foods Market near Piccadilly Circus we got vegan donuts at Crosstown Donuts before checking out Fortnum & Mason, where we bought tea and marmelade. At Whole Foods Market we wanted to get some snacks for the evening, but unfortunately the vegan options were non existent and so we decided to check out M&S Food Hall in the afternoon.

For lunch we had a reservation at Mildreds, but we still had some time left and so we strolled around Carnaby Street. We wanted to get a drink at The White Horse pub, but it reamained closed altough it should have opened earlier. Instead we paid a visit to Shakespeare's Head pub. Finally The White Horse opened and we were able to continue our London New Year's Eve tradition to have a beer there. A drink later it was time for lunch at Mildreds, a plant based restaurant. The food was delicious and I'm pretty sure we will return in the future. In the afternoon we visited the Disney Store on Oxford Street and purchased our picnic snacks for the evening before returning to Wandsworth. There we spent the rest of the evening at The Alma enjoying the last day of 2022 with beers and gin tonics.
