First day in London a SCORCHER (for London anyway) about 28 and with no airconditioning on the trains you really feel it way down in the bowels of the earth - especially when there are delays....
Staying in Bermonsdey which is the suburb between Tower Bridge and London Bridge (on the opposite side of the Thames from the Tower of London. Not a bad sot but we are a bit far from the station which means lots of walking to get anywhere - nevermind I needed the exercise..
The area has been regenerated in recent years and is quite a pleasant area - quite a few parks and at the corner of our street there is a square with a new trendy hotel on one side apartments on two sides and some nice restaurants/cafes on the other side. The area has tables and chairs in the open and it has been nice to go and sit outside there at night and have a meal in the open. Restaurant Del'Aziz has a moroccan feel to it so we sampled the menu and even had some Moroccan wine - which tasted okay but the next morning didn't feel so great (not sure if it was the food or the wine)
