Exploring our neighbourhood: West End, London

We live 2 minutes away from the Thames River, if you cross the pedestrian bridge you reach South Bank where there are lots of theatres and restaurants.

We enjoy taking a walk to South Bank. There's a food market which sells nice, unusual, fresh foods. We had some delicious bruschetta with red pesto (3 pounds each or 2 for 5 pounds - that's about R50 each! Yikes! Even the naan bread, they make it right in front of you. We discovered a cool Mandela statue which was erected in 1985 before Nelson was even released from jail.







Before we get to the Thames River there is a lovely park called Whitehall Gardens. There are lots of benches, a few statues and pretty flower beds.




The Arches Shopping Centre is nearby. There is a South African shop there selling all South African goodies.



Directly opposite where we stay is the Sherlock Holmes Pub. We see this when we look out our window.
