A Walk Around the South Bank, London - 25th March 2022
It's the day after the Genesis gig at the O2 and Nosher and Sean are both hanging around London for a walk around and a general catch up. After we check out of the Premier Inn Hub on Brick Lane, we scope out some of the local graffiti before heading off on a stomp over the river. As we get near London Bridge, we decide to try the Shard out, but despite being told by some security dude that it opened at 11 and going away and coming back again half an hour later, it actually turns out that it doesn't open until one in the afternoon, so that's a bust. Instead, we poke around Borough Market for a bit and then head off through the old SwiftKey Manor of Southwark Street and Southwark Bridge Road, before continuing on to the Festival Hall. We stop for lunch at Wagamama before heading our separate ways at Trafalgar Square.
