South Bank, Day 158

When I visited the Bankside area a few years back with my family, I fell in love with it and exclaimed that I would be living there while attending university in London after high school (my parents laughed at me, oh the big dreams I had...). I went back today and my feelings for the area haven't changed one bit! Shame that housing costs around a million pounds........

Bankside is on the edge of the River Thames filled with chic restaurants, cafes, markets and cobblestoned streets (I mean just look at this Starbucks...pretending for a moment of course that they don't serve rubbish coffee).


Shakespeare's Globe Theatre (a reconstruction of the theatre made by Shakespeare's company on the same site) is right along the river's edge. Walking along the river and watching all the boats pass is just beautiful. You can even see St. Paul's Cathedral in the distance.





Since the weather has been absolutely wonderful (I want to say it's summer here but don't want to jinx it) it felt like the whole of London was outdoors!
