We got up early today and walked up the road.....
...... to get a train from Hove Station! We're going on a trip!
And we're off!!!
Ooo there's Battersea Power Station over there!!
And we're crossing the Thames! We're in London!!
We were going to go pirate printing in South Kensington, but they had to cancel, so we're going to do something else instead now.
So we walked around the corner to the bus stop
BUS BINGO! We got the number 26 bus!
We tied a weathergram to the seat in front
And we're off!
We're going to Parliament Square now... but then we had a diversion because Whitehall was cordoned off with lots of Police. We remembered later that it's the Trooping of the Colour today!
So we travelled over Westminster Bridge.
There's the Millenium Wheel!!
OH!!! WAIT!!!
There's a Paddington Bear murial near Waterloo Station!!!!
There's the South Bank
And then we went over Waterloo Bridge!!
And arrived at Aldwych where we picked up the route again!
And we went past the Royal Courts of Justice
And saw a weird sculpture thing!
That's St Paul's Cathedral
They have an expedition outside about protecting St Pauls during the blitz
Where do we go now?!
Oh!! That's Liverpool Street Station!
Ooo, that's interesting!
Oh, there's a load of graffiti there!!
Oh wow....
And we got off here at the Hoxton Station stop. We gotta find Hoxton Station now....
We walked up the road a bit and found some pretty flowers
And some more murials!! We got a bit lost so we asked someone where the station was and they pointed back the other way.
AHA!! Cremer Street!! That's where we want to go!!!
There's another murial...
After a bit more wandering around, we found Hoxton Station and then found Hoxton Arches over the road..... the London Photo Show!! That's where we're going!!
It's in here, and at the back is the Cafe Art photography expedition with the top 25 photos and a public vote to find out the 13 most popular pictures for next years calendar. We had a long chat with Paul Ryan who runs the Cafe Art project.
After a good look round, we went off to the next bus stop and found some more graffiti!
Oh wow, that's pretty!
And then finally we found the right bus stop!!!
BUS BINGO ALERT!! We got the 394 bus!
They got a weathergram too!!
Oooo, more graffiti!
Going through Hoxton is interesting.....
....interesting view.....
And then we got off here at Angel Station in Islington!
Then we went over to this bus stop.....
Think that's the Shard in the distance!
BUS BINGO! We got the 341 bus!!!
Ooooo!
And then we got off at Islington Green!
And then we walked up to here, Mem & Laz! We're having lunch!
Now then, let's check the menu.....
The lamps here are really pretty!!
We got a fizzy drink to start with....
And then we got steamed mussels and fries!!! YUM!!
That was YUMMY!!!
Then we walked off to the next bus stop.
Aha, here we go!
BINGO ALERT!!! We're getting the 73!!
They got a weathergram too!
And we're off!!
Oh I recognise this place!!!
We're at St Pancras Station!!
We're heading home now, we're getting a bit pooped since we got up really early!
We stopped in here to do a spot of shopping (we'll show you later)
They got new window dressings....!
We used the facilities & left another weathergram and then washed our paws carefully afterwards
And then went down to our platform. 10 minutes to our train....
AND we got a window seat!!
We went through Blackfriars Station
Ooo, there's St Paul's Cathedral over there!
And there's the Shard!
Love this bit....!
And we got off back at Brighton!!
Then we had a short wait for the last bus of the day.
And we got off here and had a short walk home!!!
We got some more Fortnums coffee and a tin of new Bis Kwits, chocolate and hazelnut Gloo Tin Free Vegan Bis Kwits. We've already tried a few of these, and we're not terribly impressed with the Gloo Tin Free bis kwits. They're OK but we probably won't get these again.
