This little piggy went to market.......

To the Borough Market to be exact--in the shadow of the Shard skyscraper and under the railway lines. So many European cities have excellent markets, and this one is no different--produce, cheese, wine, meat, fish, and lots of good eats. 
We love the Primrose Hill area of London (near Regents Park) and return there on every visit.  And we always eat at our favorite gastro pub, The Queens.  It was as good, no, excellent as ever.
The Underground (Tube) is a wonder. What a perfect way to travel about the city.  We have criss crossed it numerous times using our Oyster passes. Buying a pass for the week is so convenient. Speaking of the Tube, it is interesting to look down the car and see how many people are on their smart phones at any given time. Hint--it's a lot!  Also interesting to observe the man-spread phenomenon.  Yup, the guys tend to expand the space to which they are entitled when seated. 
Last thought--London truly is the melting pot of the world. So-o-o many different languages assaulting our ears.
