I'm thinking of updating either some of my Dubai fun (did quite a bit of things after my trip) or London but I decided to do the latter since the former can wait!

cozy cozy.
We went out immediately after landing into heathrow and after 14 hours of not sleeping, I think I am a #zombie
grabbed our starbucks and off we went!
Fe said that she wanted to bring us to camden lock, and I heard a bit about the place.
From the site itself:
"Camden Lock Market, by the canal, was the original craft market, established in 1974, but now has a much wider spectrum of goods on sale. Both this and the ever popular Camden Stables Market - centre of the alternative fashion scene, Camden (Buck Street) Market, the recently improved Camden Lock Villageand Inverness Street Market - which thrived on local trade long before tourists discovered Camden, are all open every day, making the area well worth a mid-week visit. But it is at the weekend that the market scene jumps fully into life with all stalls and shops at the markets fully trading."
Took the Piccadilly line on the metro with a one-day pass (unlimited train rides and bus rides- 8.50pounds) and for an hour's ride, there we went!
Rita and Fe on the train, with cushioned seats, it's a wonder we almost fell asleep!
Arrived at King's cross to change train to camden!
Tatty, my spanish friend finally at camden town!
it's a really pretty place that looks kinda vintage, with lots of tourist stores selling souvenirs and handicrafts :)
It has a little market space (market hall) that I love as well!
Tats and me;
The girls have hungry tummies that need fuel to refill their energy for the day, it's funny how they love chinese food more than I do.
Here's a stall selling mixed chinese rice (all you can fit in a plate) for 4 pounds and a drink included :)
What a beautiful river :)
Camden town station as crowded as Oxford, bought some souvenirs!
