We travelled up to London on Sunday and went shopping in the afternoon, ending up in Harrods. I love going in Harrods, especially at Christmas when it is all festive, but this time I was really keen to visit the Godiva chocolate cafe. There were lots of sweet treats on the menu, crepes, cakes and shakes included, but as we were going out for dinner I opted just for a classic hot chocolate. It was so good!
We also found Christmas World in Harrods! I'm not sure if this is up all year round or if it had just opened but it looked so pretty!
Later that evening we went to St Catherine's dock for dinner. There is a nice ambience with lots of restaurants all around the dock and the lights add a sweet glow to the night sky.
After dinner we went for a walk along the Thames and then drove back across London to our hotel.
On Sunday morning we went for a lovely breakfast at a cafe around the corner from our hotel. It had good reviews on trip advisor and the hotel breakfast was expensive so went to find it. We had vegetarian breakfasts with fresh orange juice for £6 which we thought was great value for money and all hot drinks came with a free croissant so we were so full by the time we finished!
After breakfast we went to the Victoria and Albert museum which was just one stop away on the tube. We had a look round the exhibitions and then sat out in the garden with fresh lemonade, enjoying the sunshine. It's such a lovey spot to sit down and relax for a little while.
We ended up doing a little window shopping in the afternoon before returning home.
