I had my last opportunity to visit London this week. And as a tourist, I had a fabulous day out to Camden – street markets, canals, lunchtime stalls, quirky shop fronts, other annoying tourists getting in my way when I wanted to stop and gawk and photograph everything.

The Indian summer is often used to describe warm weather that comes later in the year, after unusually cool summer months and am SO lucky to be having one!

So I walked the half hour to the train station past the semi-detached and terrace houses, under the bridge by the river and went into Paddington, the beginning of The Underground. From there, armed with my post it note and detailed instructions on which underground platform to be on, I got to Camden Town.

Nearly all the shop fronts have huge artistic displays – shoes bigger than me, tattoo parlours called The Dark Angel and Evil the Needle. Vendors selling the same tourist crap stall after stall along the main road. But away from the main street along the river were more interesting shops and views. Was tempted to try on some clothes but couldn’t be bothered with the hassle, too difficult in small market places.

Inspiral was the 2^nd raw café’ on my list to visit – enjoyed a raw cashew cheese tart with side salads and bought some raw choccies. Nice cooked veggie meals available as well as raw and all sorts of wines and beers, a perfect mix.

No more time to make any more trips into the city which means I have to come back again, of course!
