Daytrip to the best city in the whole wide world-LONDON

London-my favourite city

London (view from the Waterloobridge)

 

Tate Britain-Hall

We went off to London at 9o'clock in the morning. We were from Ashtead to London in about 30 minutes. What a pleasure! We met Jeanette in Vauxhall and went straight to the Tate Britain. They both know a lot about British art and they presented me two famous artists. 1. William Turner and 2. Henry Moore. Moore is famous for his massive sculptures and William Turner painted big, bright landscapes. I liked the "Beach" paintings from Turner the most! He had a very good sense for drawing the sky with its various shades of light. We drove by boat to "Embankment" and there we went into the Southwark Cathedral. The Cathedral involved many different pieces of art and also different kind of alters. I liked it a lot. The churches are more open for exhibitions here.
We enjoyed the sun outside in a café. We had chosen the best day to travel to London! It was 20 degree and the sun was shining while we went through the city. From the Southwark Cathedral we headed to Covent Garden Market. Some parts of Covent Garden Market are outside and others are inside. Many people were there and inside trades sold handmade arts and crafts.

Inside Covent Garden Market

Outside we watched an artist who made tricks with a big ball. He was very funny!! Inside the market music students played on their violins. They were very professional and it seemed to me that they earned a lot of money. I bought some beautiful cards and a silver braclet which I wear now every day. At the end of this great day we went over the Waterloo bridge to "WildWood" an Italian restaurant in the middle of the street. While we were on the Waterloo bridge I was able to make some photographs. The view was absolutly amazing!
We enjoyed our dinner and sat there for a many hours. Afterwards we went home and it was getting dark as we arrived. I was two times in London but this day was different from the other visits.

All in all it was a beautiful day and it was very nice to be in an insiders company in a huge city like London.
