Last week, I was lucky enough to head to London for a few days for work.. not only was this great because I flew.. (a mere 40 minute flight).. but I got to see loads of friends and have a fantastic time enjoying all the things I love about London.
I went for work because the digital agency I am working for at the moment is based in London. I flew down with a co-worker of mine on a 7am flight and we had a day full of meetings. The best part was the meetings were at the offices in my favorite part of town where I used to work and live - Shoreditch. After our day full of meetings I met my dear friends Elena and Pablo at a basement bar off of Hoxton Square. Everything changes so quickly in Shoreditch that the bar was below a cafe I had never seen before. Look at the name!
After drinks, we all headed to a Thai restaurant for dinner. I miss delish Thai food... so many options in Brooklyn. Not enough in Glasgow. I crashed at my good friend Claire's place and the next day, I did loads of wandering... I wandered around Oxford Circus, Covent Garden, walked along the Thames.. I wandered into Selfridges to look at the spring line of Marc Jacobs bags then, to the American food department of Selfridges department store (very similar to Macys in New York City --> not mall Macys). Check out all the goodies. So exotic!
I had such a great time. Strangely enough, I think the best part was simply sitting in a pub in old Spitalfields, reading a magazine and watching the people walk by. I missed Ruby and Brent but, it was so refreshing to have work meetings and discuss current things happening at work (which I love my job) as well as time with my closest friends whom I miss dearly.. made me think Ruby and I might be hopping on a train down to London sooner than you think. x
