We stayed at the hoxton hotel in Shoreditch...I know it's a little of a trek out of the city but with Liverpool Street Station a 5 minute walk it really made no difference to us...plus with all that's happening in Shoreditch at the moment...surely it's the place to be...
A nice breakfast spot was at the book club decked out in a mixture of old school furniture (the type of chairs that snagged your tights as a 6 year old) and vintage Ercol... I imagine it can get a little young and hip after 5.30pm but it's literally just around the corner from the hotel and en route to the underground...
The Book Club
Pizza East for a bite to eat on Shoreditch High Street (I advise booking)
Bills nice easy food spot.
Folklore
We stopped off at Somerset House to view the Tim Walker exhibit which would have been great except the space was too cramped and they should've had a limit on the number of people in the space. But all their exhibits are free, so one can't complain too much...well just a little.
Tim Walker
Sunday is Market Day...headed out early to Columbia Road Flower Market which is a short walk from our hotel...unfortunately no flower purchases for us but we enjoyed fresh sausage rolls from The Lily Vanilli Bakery hiding just around the back in The Courtyard. Along with some other cute stores.
daylesford organic A favorite for lunch
I only picked up a couple treasures, some fabric from Liberty's the plan is to make a dress for an upcoming wedding in May...I'll keep you posted.
As always the cloth house had plenty for me to feast my eyes on the temptation was obviously too great and I picked up some beautiful indigo striped linen mix I must have something that needs covering...
