Saturday, October 22 the forecast was for a dry day, so we took advantage of that. We started with the Portobello Market in Nodding Hill. We bought a little something for our unborn grandson. I can’t wait to meet him!

Then we went to the meeting point for our walking tour, titled In My Life and it included places with Beatles history. It helped make up for missing the Beatles sites in Liverpool.

After the tour we took the tube to Waterloo Station to walk around the Southbank area.

We continued on over the river, past the newly renovated Elizabeth Tower and Big Ben, past the Horse Parade grounds, through St. James Park and more. We saw multiple protests including people wanting to rejoin the EU, more support for Ukraine and a couple I wasn’t able to figure out. Possibly one was against Iran.

We ended up at Old Spitalfields Market and after walking through there, then walked to Brick Lane. We were told it was the place to go for Indian food. Was it ever! There were so many places to choose from. After a very tasty dinner it was time to make it back to our area. We really worked our way around different areas of London. It was a very long day using the tube trains, buses and we still managed to walk 10 miles.
