Madame Tussaud's, un incontournable




Il est difficile de se rendre à Londres et ne pas entendre parler du fameux "Madame Tussaud's" ou de voir des affiches faisant la promotion du musée.
A mon sens "musée" est un bien grand mot pour ce lieu. Il s'agit surtout d'une belle collection de poupées grandeur nature avec lesquelles on ne résiste pas de s'amuser un peu.

Nature in London

If you are fed up with the city life and the hectic life you can have in London, you are very likely to find peace and nature in one of the numerous parks in the very centre of London. You do not have to go far way to see a bit of nature and water. Here is for instance Hyde Park, one of the largest park in London.

Brighton




The sea at a little bit more than one hour from London. It is refreshing especially if the sun shows up.

What do you think if I tell you "scones", "tea", "cream"



As you may have noticed I am very fond of the famous English Afternoon tea. The picture will speak for themselves...
Some information might be helpful, such as the name and the address where to have the best cream tea ever (believe me, I have tested many of them), yummy :
This is "The Mock Turtle"
4 Pool Valley
Brighton, BN1 1NJ, UK.
Brighton is not very far from London and it really worth spending at least one hour in this very cosy place.

It's good to be a tourist sometimes




Let's appreciate some beautiful places in London by night... and why not a cruise on the River Thames... so romantic.

Hopefully, it will give ideas to you, dear reader.

Enjoy

Langton Close



Here are some pictures of Langton Close, a student residence in a quiet place, though in the centre of London (10mn walk away from King's Cross Station)

Portobello Market




Portobello Market is unsurprisingly on ... Portobello Road! There you can find a colourful flea market, food market and antiques. It is not cheap, but it is a nice walk on a sunny Saturday morning.
