Last weekend I
visited the Winter Festival in London's Southbank
including the Christmas market and Real Food Market.
I love the
Southbank, so had automatically a good time. I preferred last year's
Christmas market, though, when it was on the actual bank and not in a
corner closer to the London Eye. I believe that the Christmas
tree maze is a new added feature, but unfortunately it wasn't free to
enter. Luckily the delightful illuminated rabbits had arrived to
different places around the area to bring joy. I also thought that the small train transporting kids by the river was a nice touch.
The Real Food Market is always brilliant and one of my favourite places to visit in
London. They offer excellent street food and drink, and many of the
options are vegetarian. In this season it's lovely to hang around
there and sip some mulled cider or wine.
Here are some
photos from my visit.
The bunnies are awesome. I miss going or working in a city, the Christmas atmosphere is far more engaging.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice, but cities also get so hectic around this time. I don't like the crows, but the lights and decorations tend to be pretty.
DeleteSo true, when they are busy you don't always see what you want to either.
