A London Weekend

Further to my post where I said I don't post much about London life, let me describe a London weekend for you. This is what I did this weekend.... a cold and wintery weekend.

• Slept in on Saturday
• Walked from my house to Borough Market with my girlfriend for breakfast/lunch
• On the way back from Borough Market, stopped off in Shad Thames in a tea room for afternoon cream tea.
• On Saturday night I went to London's only decent indoor shopping centre, Westfield London (trust Aussies to provide the one proper shopping centre)
• Later on Saturday night had some drinks at my girlfriend's house in Surrey Quays.
• On Sunday I hired a car from Street Car, which is a service which lets you use cars on a pay-as-you-go hourly rate basis, picking up from many spots around London. In London you don't really need a car full time so this is a great way to drive when you want to.
• Some friends and I took the street car to Ikea in the outer South London suburb of Croydon to do some shopping.

All in all a relaxing weekend in town.  Next weekend I am going away for the weekend, and the week after, I am flying to Austria.
