First experience in the famous London tube! Gens de Montréal, vous pensez que vous êtes squeeze à l'heure de pointe dans le métro? When coming out of the tube, the beautiful light pastel row town houses were waiting for us... I felt like Hugh Grant could come out of one of these any time! Fall in Notting Hill... The famous Portobello road!!! Portobello market is great because you can find everything from jewellery, fruits and vegetables, vintage clothes, street performers, drinks out of coco and pineapple, flowers... but it is mostly known for its (overpriced) antiques. Here's a glimpse of some of the things we found... The little shops and restaurants... So many things to see on Portobello road, but oh so crowded! We decided to head for some quieter streets to find the most gorgeous row of rainbow coloured houses on Lancaster road. Big iconic roads are great, but I love going off the beaten tracks and find some hidden treasures. We stumbled into a beautiful mews! Mews is a british term for a paved alley behind large city houses and most of them were built during the 17th and 18th centuries. They used to be carriage houses and horse stables. We found a great one just around the corner. It is called St Lukes Mews. My weird addiction for door photography again... A little tea break on Regent street before my Apple store appointment and heading to the bar to meet some new friends! Notting Hill was great! We will definitely be back since we didn't get to do half of the things we wanted. We are off to Cambridge this weekend to go punting on the canal that goes along the King's college! rien de moins... I will keep you posted!
