Cake Britain

Today we headed over to Camden for breakfast where we had nitrogen-oxide ice cream from the Chin Chin Laboratorists.

You pick the flavour of cream you want, they mix it with nitrogen oxide (his thermometer showed -22 degrees) and it turns in to ice cream.

We had chocolate ice cream, with salted caramel sauce, peanut brittle and candy floss sugar (which looked like shards of glass) and it was the best ice cream we’ve had!

We even got to have two toppings because the man making it had seen us in Camden the night before, when they’d closed. They even had swings to swing on while nomming your ice cream.

Then we headed to Cake Britain, an exhibition of cakes at the Future Gallery.

I loved the burger cakes and the one by Lily Vanilli. The next day, they're going to let all the visitors eat the cakes.

Afterwards we went for a snoop around Orbital Comics, which is an awesome shop. I wish the Harajuku vending machine wasn’t empty though – I’ll have to go back.

There was a friendly horse in Covent Garden that I got to stroke.

We then went for a look around John Soane’s museum which is a hoarder’s paradise. No photo allowed in there though.

Tom took me for a drink in a pub he’d found while he was down with uni a few years ago and thought he might never find again. It's really cool on the inside with little booths and huge barrels everywhere.

We then picked up dinner from Pret A Manger and crossed over to the South Bank so that we could eat it on the grass outside the Tate Modern.

Tom then wanted to have a look around Namco but it wasn’t as good as the Trocadero.

Then we met up with Metaxa and Lynsey who took us to a theatre pub, which had lots of crazy things on the wall and operatic singing coming from the room next door.

Tom and I found proper purikura machines in China Town… so we're going to get some snapped on an exciting date that’s coming up in the near future!
