This Weekend's Outing to Brick Lane

Singaporean Food Stall, Brick Lane
Sunday, January 19, 2019:  This weekend, both of us feeling better, we ventured further afield and visited some of London's unique neighborhoods.  Saturday we found ourselves in trendy and edgy Spitalfields in East London where we explored its famed street markets.  Brick Lane is a vegan-friendly food paradise and Spitalfield's Market is mostly clothing.  We got lunch from the above Singaporean food stall ... it was scrumptious!

Sunday we visited Blackheath, in Southeast London.  Several places we have visited in London I have heard described as village-like, but Blackheath is the first place that resembled and felt like a village to me.  It is surrounded by expansive green fields, known as Blackheath Common.
