Misty mornings on the river beat the rest... this pic was taken in February on the Walthamstow marshes.

Wood-floored shop with a museum-like vibe selling vintage men's fashions, footwear and accessories.

A place that really grows on you, with each visit the Barbican reveals more of itself to you and your bond is tightened. The Barbican Kitchen is great for coffee or lunch, summer hangouts by the ponds, cinema in winter, the amazing Barbican Hall for live music, and don't miss the conservatory.

I love living in cities with a river and the Thames is so wide! It is one of my favorite things about London.

I’m not sure what I like best about this deli: the speck which was so good that I ‘accidentally’ ate the whole package of it before I got home, or the fact the staff are always so friendly even when I ask for my order in my terribly rusty Italian.
