1 Night In London - Kinky Boots, Covent Garden & All The Food!

Last Monday George and I went to London for the night (yep, again) so I wanted to do a little post about it, as I always do. As I'm sure you know by now if you've read my blog for a while, London is pretty much my favourite place in the world so I like to document any trips on my blog for me to read back on. As we went for one night this time, the main reason being to see a show, we didn't get to do loads and loads like we have in the past but I thought I'd share what we did do and the photos I managed to take, almost like a photo diary I suppose.
London Eye
After checking in that afternoon we started with spending some time on the Southbank. I could spend hours walking along or sitting just taking in the views, especially near the London Eye, I just think it's stunning. We also treated ourselves to an ice cream which was so good! It was absolutely boiling so it was definitely needed.
Southbank
After a relaxed walk down the Southbank we ended up at Borough Market which is somewhere we always go to in London now. The range of food available is insane and there is always something new to try. We picked some delicious Indian snacks up from one of the stalls, some macarons and a few other bits, all of it was so nice. I just love going there.

After that we headed to the Strand which is where we needed to be for our show that night. We still had loads of time so we just chilled for a bit before heading into the theatre. The show we went to see was Kinky Boots, and I'm not even sure how to put into words how incredible it was. In fact I have a whole post going up about it tomorrow so look out for that, it just deserved a full review and I really hope if you like seeing musicals that you give it a read, because the show really did exceed any expectations I had. I already want to go and see it again so that itself shows how much I enjoyed it.

We pretty much had the whole of the next day to explore before heading home so we started off at Piccadilly. I love that whole area, it's always buzzing and full of energy and it's where one of my favourite shops is located, Whole Foods! We go every time, mainly for the amazing Crosstown Doughnuts they have available. We went for the cinnamon swirl one this time which we enjoyed out in the sun and the chocolate truffle which is a firm fave of ours now which we saved for later on in the day. They are so filling, and not the cheapest things ever but so worth it!

We then went to Covent Garden which is fast becoming my favourite place in London. I spent a good few hours there last time we visited London as George was working and I honestly had the best time. I was so happy just chilling watching the performers that are always there in the centre and doing a bit of shopping, and it was just as enjoyable this time too. We did some shopping and then stopped for a Shake Shack which was insane. I went for the hot dog this time, George had the shackburger and we shared some cheesy fries. It was all just heaven, we definitely need to go more often.

We ended up spending a few hours there before heading back to the hotel. It's just such a nice place to just sit and relax after walking around for so long. It's absolutely beautiful in the sun aswell and that day it was like a day in the middle of summer. Before getting our train we got a final hour or so on the Southbank and then that was it, it was time to go already. Everytime we go it just seems to fly by, and I'm always so sad to leave. I know if you've read a lot of my London posts it might seem weird how much I love being there or it might be annoying that I mention it so much but I just don't think I'll ever stop! I'm already thinking of when we can go back next and what show we can go and see, it's just the best, definitely my happy place.

Look out for tomorrows post about our visit to see Kinky Boots!
