London part 3

=======================

Look right

On every pedestrain way, you’ll see this sign painted on the ground, since the traffice direction is different from UK to European continent. So they ask everyone watch out for the traffic before you go across the road. But same thing happens, NOBODY CARES!

=======================

Rememberance day

While I was in London, I saw almost every people wore a poppy flower. So I bought one from a boy scout. The I realize the flower was ode for rememberance.

Remembrance Day is also known as Poppy Day, because it is traditional to wear an artificial poppy. They are sold by the Royal British Legion, a charity dedicated to helping war veterans.

But why a poppy?

=======================

Tate Modern

 

Mathias’ strongly recommendation, and it turned out to be one of the best museums I’ve ever visited.

Tate Modern is a modern art gallery located in London, United Kingdom. It is Britain's national gallery of international modern art and forms part of the Tate group (together with Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool, Tate St Ives and Tate Online).It is the most-visited modern art gallery in the world, with around 4.7 million visitors per year. It is based in the former Bankside Power Station, in the Bankside area of Central London.

=======================

Musical

I didnt make it to watch the musicals in London, it was quite a shame but OK for me. There are so many theaters for musicals or operas in Soho area. Grasp a night over there might be nice.

=======================

Pattycoat lane market

We went pattycoatlane for bargains. But it was like an traditional market for locals and cheap but quality concerned clothes along the street. Like a window-shopper, we were impressived by the yelling vendors and so many people crowded on the street. Buying nothing.

=======================

Old truman brewery

 

The Old Truman Brewery is the former Black Eagle brewery complex located around Brick Lane in the Spitalfields area, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The former Brewery buildings, warehouses and yards were redeveloped by The Zeloof Partnership and now house over 250 businesses, ranging from cultural venues to art galleries, restaurants, and retail shops.

After pattycoat lane, we walked along the Indian district. Heading for Truman Brewery for more fun. It’s a paradise for people who’s interested in culture or creativity business. So many youngasters have a stand over there selling their owned designed clothes. And at the entrance, there are stands for exotic foods.

On the street, there’s a long vintage shops. As always, I bought nothing from vintage. So proud of myself.

=======================

Brick lane bakery

It was said to be the oldest bagel shop in London. And the bagels were YUMMY!! and soooo cheap. I can eat 3 bagels alone by myself.
