London/Day Eight

Our last full day in London... We spent the morning at Hackney City Farm. Cool concept... basically this is a farm right in East London where families can go to hang out. There is a bike shop, a pottery studio and a cafe that serves a traditional English breakfast (with eggs from their chickens!). City Farm also has beautiful grounds that you can come help garden and lots of animals for the little ones to check out. We spent a few hours just hanging out. If we lived in London, this would definitely be a place we would come back to often.



Since we were in East London we thought it might be fun to try and find the flat I used to live in when I was living here in 1999. It is amazing how much development has happened as much of the area did not look familiar to me. Just when we were about to give up and head back we ran into a nice man who confirmed we were going in the correct direction and sure enough we found Thoresby House!

After hopping on the tube we made our way to Trafalgar Square and the National Portrait Gallery. Naveen was excited that the Irving Penn exhibit was there so we thought we better take a peek. We had a quick snack in the cafe, where Keira made a friend and scored a free banana, checked out the bookstore and the photography.
