London 2024/25 - Part 5

New Year's Day

Wednesday - January 1st 2025

The new year started with an English breakfast at the hotel. Later we took the train to Waterloo Station and from there the metro to Hay's Galleria. There we just strolled around the area since most of the shops, pubs and coffee houses weren't open yet. Although there wasn't much to do, we enjoyed being there and admiring the architecture. From Hay's Galleria we walked along the River Thames to the Tower Bridge. London was so quiet in the morning and we enjoyed to have the city almost to our own. Unfortunately the weather got worse and it started to rain. So once we crossed the the river to the other side, we stopped at Starbucks near the Tower of London to escape the rain and get a coffee.

After a relaxing coffee we continued our walking tour along the River Thames. The rain got heavier and heavier and so we decided to have lunch at Wagamama next to St. Paul's Cathedral. The food was was really good, but the best part was to dry up while enjoying our lunch. Since the rain didn't stop, we took the bus back to Waterloo Station, where we did some shopping before returning to Wandsworth Town. Back at The Alma we relaxed a bit and then we headed to the pub to grab a couple of drinks. For dinner we headed to McDonald's and then we spent the rest of the evening in front of the TV watching The Great British Bake Off.
