Impressions from Autumn London

Hey folks,

I spent the last few days in London for business and pleasure. :)
I left my laptop at home, therefore the post delay, but instead I made some pictures of beautiful autumn London that I was looking forward to sharing with you.  

On Wednesday I was watching a very cool dance piece - Hofesh Shechter's "Sun" - at Sadler's Wells London. Before that I was strolling around the neighbourhood a little.

After my little walk I went to Pret A Manger. I love those little food stores, where you can get freshly made sandwiches, soups, coffee and sweets and I always make sure to pay them a visit when I'm coming to London. Yummy!

On Thursday I made a nice little shopping day and went to Spitalfields Market, a really nice market in the east of London where you can get almost everything from knick-knacks to furniture to clothes.

In addition I went to Harrods for the very first time, where I totally fell in love with the food market. Rooms full of coffee, tea, sweets and delicacies from all over the world - simply amazing!

Tea, tea, tea

Cakes, scones, croissants...

Fancy Harrods lunch: pastries with duck & orange and turkey

 
On Friday I did something for my education and went to the museum. ;) At first I went to Sherlock Holmes museum, which totally wasn't worth the entrance fee to be honest as I was done with it in about half an hour. Luckily Tate Modern, which I visited in the afternoon, was great instead. Three floors full of impressive modern art and the building itself is interesting as well.
