London Day 3

Sunday, March 20


On Sundays in London not much is open expect for tourist destinations and  markets. With this in mind, my friend and I both really wanted to find some antique and vintage clothing markets, so we did a little research on the Internet before leaving and heard the Camden market was the place to go for vintage. Thus, we headed up North to Camden, however when we got there it was obvious that our source was either outdated or wrong because while there were a couple vintage stores located on the main road, the entire market was cheap mass produced t-shirts and accessories. Nevertheless we made the best out of our excursion and found an American-style diner for lunch which serves breakfast all day. After eating French breakfasts for months now, I was so excited about getting pancakes, bacon, and eggs, while my friend got an omelette, toast, and potatoes. After lunch we wandered around a little bit more and then made our way back to the metro stop, which was closed to departures at that hour due to the large influx of arrivals for the market, so we had to walk 6 minutes down the road to the next stop and get on there. After this slight inconvenience, we decided to go back to the hotel, get our luggage, and go the train station early to settle in, relax, and bid London a farewell.
