Who would have thought to have bumped into the Merlion on the London Underground?
Arsenal's spanking new Emirates Stadium, which I must admit, rather grudgingly, is one of the handsomest stadiums I've been to.
Little wonder we couldn't locate Highbury, the old Arsenal ground. It was gone!
White Hart Lane, home of Tottenham Hotspurs FC, which is not across the road from where the Emirates Stadium or Highbury is, as I believed. My visit to White Hart Lane meant that I had already covered the notable triumvirate of football grounds in North London, and all the significant ones in London with the exception of West Ham United's Upton Park.
The fluff machine in The Bear Workshop in Covent Gardens. You select a bear, choose the clothes you want it to wear, fluff it up, give it a heart (which they stuff up the backside) and a name, and pay twenty quids for all that.Kids love it. Not sure I can say the same for parents.
One of the many talented buskers in the area. This one here is balancing himself on a tightrope (well, it isn't all that taut) and juggling blades, which I'm sure are fake.
Flattened bottles, meant to be used as plates, on sale in one of the markets. They were already closing by the time I got there at about seven in the evening. One of the many interesting trinkets on offer, and I really should have made a beeline for the market earlier.
