2018

Our first stop was Leicester Square to go on the hunt for squished pennies.

Tom made an exciting purchase from the Lego store.

We then spotted a penny machine in Bubba Gump Shrimp, where we got Forrest Gump pennies to go with the ones I'd collected in Savannah.

In Chinatown, Katie stocked up on Pokemon juice.

We then headed up to Camden, as Katie had never been and we knew she'd love the markets.

We perked ourselves up with coffee at the Heaven Canal Cafe which has lovely big windows that look down on the lock.

I loved this neon in the Skinnydip London shop.

When we got hungry, we headed into the Camden Lock Market to check out the food stalls.

I knew what I wanted as soon as I spotted the halloumi fries at Oli Baba's.

They looked beautiful topped with za'atar yogurt, pomegranate molasses, mint, sumac, chilli and pomegranate seeds.

We continued looking around the market stalls afterwards and Katie bought an impossibly small lucky cat which was so tiny it fit on her nail.

There was then just enough time for a drink and a pint of sweets at The Hawley Arms before they had to leave.

It was then time to drop Katie & Phil off at King's Cross to catch their train home and we were so sad to see them leave.

We popped into St Pancras on our way home to see their giant Christmas tree which is covered in flowers.
