    Wouldn't have thought that was too expensive Claire, guess it might be a bit quiet at this time of year, nobody got any money etc?

    In bed now and really fancied hot choc (thanks Sammy!) but all I could find in the cupboard was a free sample of light Horlicks! It's not too bad though actually :)

    I'll 2nd becky there Spud- very hard to see it close up...a friend of mine works in Lloyds and I said how jealous I was that he got to see all these lovely buildings but when I saw just how little you actually see of them when you're so close I realised that it's far better to do the "touristy" bus tour and see everything from a distance. Much like County Hall on the Southbank - stunning building but you only see the manky bits from ground level.

    My eldest cat, 15, is requiring lots of cuddles lately due to the cold, he's never really been a lap cat but he's loving having DH home and an extra lap to sit on.

    That's one of my favourite parts of London, so much in one area....love the book market under the bridge too - got some cracking bargins there.

    Yep its very cool - the bar (part of the Bfi cinema) does great food/drinks outside in the summer - its ace :)

    There's also usually a cuban (i think) band under that bridge at the moment too - makes for very fun running when I do the south side...I always end up in step with them!

    I've only been to London once, on a day trip when I was about 7. Need to plan a trip for me and the kids I think, if I can find some cheap day trip train tickets one holiday ;)
