Steven and I had some time off and explored the city a little bit. We started with some coffees on the train, then "mosied" along the South Bank...
The Tate Modern...
...and visited the pub we ended up at near the end of our first date.
We walked along some piers over the river, naturally taking some incredibly cheesy photos while out there...
More South Bank wandering ensued...
...until we stumbled upon this place. We spent that first Saturday here, huge festival behind us, talking well into the night, drinking ciders, overlooking the river. Steven thought that "the thing that looked like a shady estate behind this bench-like thing" made the romantic place look, "entirely disgusting", but I think it gives it a bit of charm ;)
A stroll over my favourite bridge...
...leads to a view over my favourite park (you know it...right on the river, beside Embankment, behind Charing Cross...it's great in the summer).
...then headed Kensington way to see the Roof Gardens (they were closed for a private party) and the west side of Hyde Park. It was a great day for a stroll.
Then it was back SoHo way for a walk around Chinatown (be still my heart) and Steven's first kick at eating Korean. It was DElish, of course. He was pretty convinced.
We met up with Jason for (way more than) a few drinks before heading home...
...relishing in each other's company and in such a nice day.
