Last night, I stumbled across a wonderful little store called La Fromagerie at 2-4 Moxon Street. When we find mold, we kill it. When the French find mold, they make cheese out of it. The quality and selection overwhelmed me (and I've been to countless cheese shops in Europe). There is also a gourmet grocery area attached to it, and a wonderful little patisserie. The prices are high, but the quality is as well.
Or why not go to a concert? Many churches in London offer evening concerts. This is St. James Church and they played Mozart's Requiem. After the concert, a Dutch couple knowing very little English was lost and we helped them find the Westminster tube station.
I'm Mr. Market Man, and I like the Greenwich Market. It's smaller than many of the others, but it has a nice variety of interesting items and food. Also, Greenwich is a fun town very close to London, and is in Zone 2, if you have a pass for Zones 1 and 2, you can go there using the DLR (short for Docklands Light Railway). It's a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of central London.
This is from Old Spitalfields Market. I know this gets rave reviews, and I enjoyed going there, but I wasn't WOWED. There were some interesting items, but the prices were quite elevated, and there was a lot that is sold at other markets.
Again, around every corner something new appears. This is outside the Natural History Museum, where an outdoor ice rink has been installed. People were having a wonderful time.
The same rink at night.
Cheers, Jim
