starting off the London festive merriment experience shopping for H.M. cashmere
a delicious berry- and cinnamon-laden breakfast at the Nordic Bakery on Golden Square
not yet 100% convinced about the value of candid photography
barristers, or solicitors, or whatever the kids call them these days
Regent Street is a lot of look, but I'm on board
I wrote them a letter because Green Park was only 60-70% green
H.M. did not deign to receive us
despite our entreaties to these CHARMING BLOKES
seconds before I jumped the velvet rope and resisted arrest
REGAL
H.M. decorative intruder impalements
this new high-rise they've built lacks refinement
the Regency Café, featuring a full English breakfast and stentorian cash register lady for only £5.50
keeping it lite
a delightfully geometric housing block
Don Draper goes the cute-animal route
there's a lot going on here
attempting not to get shat upon
how much British can we fit in one HOLIDAY SNAP?
this view makes me chuffed to bits
dodging street performers outside the art museum
celebrity sighting
H.M. VELOCITY
requisite
counting down to Santa
we tried to stop in for a Christmas Eve music service, but apparently one must plan in advance

the tree out front got a little swallowed by the backdrop
WHERE is the Iron Lady?
desperately trolling the south bank in search of Wagamama
all lit up, sans MPs
nice try, EYE, but you're no SHARD
at this point we were 80% ice
Christmas morning sunrise over Green Park
delightfully deserted
our Vanilla Sky moment on Christmas morning
H.M. remembrance
biking around the city courtesy Barclays Cycle Hire
atop Primrose Hill before heading back into the city for Christmas dinner
TOWERING
much British. very H.M. such double decker. wow
they really should've planned it so ALL the towers match
heading up to Hampstead
navigating Hampstead High Street
at long last, SUNDAY ROAST!
lots of life plans
thwarted by a closed Borough Market, we settled for the next best thing
H.M. tanneries have been quite busy
keeping dry at Borough Market
our Shardy view to the east
sadly we just missed the giant poppy display for the 100th anniversary of WWI
looking up from the observation deck
the much-anticipated sunset
