Musings...

Food Notes:

The Fryer's Delight
19 Theobald's Road
Claims to be "Tastiest Fish & Chips in Town." Wide selection of fish, kinda pricey, but HUGE portions. Tasty but couldn't finish the whole thing. Location feels very authentic, old-fashioned, and greasy.

So, I checked my mail today, only to find the typical takeaway food flyers; however, I found this one particularly interesting...




I had to head over to campus today for a meeting with my study abroad adviser. I went over a bit early to see if I could get my class schedules (not much luck) and ended up wandering around the Strand a bit. While I was climbing the stairs to the history department (8th floor), I was struck by the view from the stairwell. My iPhone barely does it justice, but here it is:



After seeing this, I decided to wander along the waterfront for a bit, and I took this photo.



Unfortunately, my iPhone kind of butchers the picture, but hopefully, you get the idea. I also wandered down the Strand until it became Fleet Street, so for all you Sweeney Todd fans out there:



There IS a barber shop on Fleet Street, but it looks far from sinister. The shop was apparently located at 186 Fleet Street, but I couldn't find a marker.

I also discovered that I live right down the street from London's biggest meat market, Smithfield. This MIGHT explain why I've been so dissatisfied with Tesco's meat options. Unfortunately, it's only open on weekdays, so I won't be able to explore until Monday.

Oh, and I got my UK cell phone! Now, I just need to make friends who can call me... Hmm...

Well, cheerio!* Expect another post sometime this weekend, as I will hopefully be out and about, exploring London!

*I actually heard an old British man say "Cheerio" today. Best moment of my trip!
