This is a personal album which I just had to share, partly because I wanted to let London tourists know about a couple of cool areas you may or may not have thought to visit.

It was my mother’s birthday and she loves day trips with us all as it’s not often we’re all together. She wanted to visit London but didn’t want to do the traditional sights or museums. London has some truly amazing street art, so my family and I decided to tour around some of the best murals of Brick Lane and the surrounding streets. There are also some really cool cafes and bars just a short tube ride away, such as The Attendant (it used to be a blokes’ toilet!), The Old Bank of England pub, and the Blackfriars pub.

Also on the list for the day was to walk across the Abbey Road crossing which, if you’re thinking about doing this tour, is completely out of the way of everything but is still a lovely thing to say you’ve done.

Enjoy the album!

Happy birthday, mum x
