London 2025/26 - Part 5

New Year's Day
 
Thursday - January 1st 2026
 
2026 started with breakfast at the Alma hotel and then we headed into the city. Like yesterday we had to walk to Clapham Junction and from there we took the train to Waterloo Station. First we checked out the Leake Street Arches, also known as Grffiti Tunnel, beneath Waterloo Station. Afterwards we walked along the River Thames to Tate Modern and on to the Swan pub next to Shakespeare's Globe. There we got a drink and decided to get lunch at a vegetarian restaurant named Tofu Vegan. So we continued our walk through the City of London with all its skyscrapers and banks.

Finally we made it to Tofu Vegan and were seated right away. For starters we ordered a spicy cucumber salad and wontons served in a chili sauce. Then it was time for the main course and we got plant based gong bao chicken with peanuts and vegan fish in buns. The food was really good and we would definitely return. Afterwards we walked back to the City of London and from there we took the tube to London Bridge Station to check out Hay's Galleria. Since it was already late afternoon we decided to walk back to Waterloo Station and to catch a train to Wandsworth. Back in Wandsworth we spent the rest of our last day in London in our favourite pub. A couple of drinks later we headed to McDonald's for plant based burger with fries before calling it a day.
