Well for anyone planning a trip to london before or after christmas you probably have the classic sights on your list tower of london Buckingham Palace and of course a ride on one of those famous red double decker buses but what about pounding the pavement off the beaten tourist track we got a tour recently of londons more alternative east end where fruit loops and street art are just two ways to start a day. Londons east end as hip as it gets if you cant find it here it doesnt exist take this cafe which sells breakfast cereal the serial killer cafe in shoreditch offers more than one hundred different types of breakfast food from places as far away as israel south africa and the u. S. The idea was born after a boozy night out four years ago. We were both over we wanted to say we didnt know any word get apart from supermarket. And thats where the idea of this with. A small bowl starts at two pounds sixty thats about three year old. Is very british and reminds you a little about childs bedroom. Is quite cool. Its just interesting its fun its casual.

For guys like Olivia Calvert are there to help visitors find the best pieces i know. Now roy is a belgian and he only paints wildlife and the radio likes to do wildlife that is near the area so for example in mexico he did a cockroach and then ten where famous photo animals unfortunately pigeons and and this is one of our that. Might be nice but its still illegal here in shoreditch the us already seem to turn a blind eye to graffiti attracts tourists in addition to pointing out the best places a libya likes to show off her favorites a particular image. Could be painted over at any time it was. Difficult with the story to be honest because we dont know what to expect as i walk around this area all the time and it changes so so maybe. Another surprising feature of her tours is that there is no fixed price people pay what they think is fair and what they can afford. And act is a lot we dont have a lot of money were not were not many and were probably never going to be. So it would be wrong for us to do tours that were only accessible to people who were in a certain amount of money.

Guess can play in the ball pit from tuesday to saturday. For those feeling a little more grown up there are cocktails but with a twist on the top down by their own usual in that we use british sweets that means every drink can conjure up memories of childhood for the guests. To prevent accidents with sticky cocktails no drinks are allowed in the ball pit but it also helps to have your hands free. To leave almighty how hard it was to get up and really well i go drowning but its so old like being a kid the older i read again the both decide to smile a little bit now its been a few.
