On our last day in London, we went to Burrough Market for breakfast and lunch before our 1 p.m. ride back to the airport. This, too, was just a few blocks from our hotel. We had some amazing coffee and bread at Monmouth and then walked through to see the various stalls. If we were locals, I could see myself stocking up here. The amount of marinated olives was crazy! John would be in heaven.
Although a Starbucks wasn't on every corner, a Pret a Manger was. We have these in Chicago - not on every corner, but there are two within blocks of my office - and they were in DC before we moved. But the concentration in London was amazing. They really touted the fact that the food was made fresh daily and that leftovers were given to homeless organizations.
We shared one last meal of fish and chips and mushy peas before heading back to Heathrow. I saw a couple of fun souvenirs at LHR but the giant bear and giant Lego weren't for sale. Well, maybe the bear was, but it wasn't in my price range! Cork (and a little carved frog from India) were very well received by the little guy when I got home.
