Walking along the River Thames to Tower Bridge
We started our day by taking the London Underground to the London Bridge station. We walked along the river starting at the London Bridge and made our way down to the Tower Bridge.
London Bridge
HMS Belfast
City Hall and Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge
Maddox loved seeing the bridge open and close
Potters Fields Park
We took a break at Potters Fields Park for Maddox to get some toy time.
Borough Market
We grabbed lunch and drinks at Borough market. It was a close walk right across the street from the London Bridge station. Unfortunately, most of the market was closed and there were only a few stands open.
Burgers
Chorizo Paella
British Museum
We ended the day at the British Museum. This was a great place to grab a snack at the cafe and take it easy while looking at their huge permanent collection.
Eurostar Train to Paris
The next day, the only thing we had planned was to take the Eurostar train to Paris at the St. Pancras International Station. I messed up and we didn’t get in line early enough to catch our train because they shut the doors 30 min before departure. We were able to be booked on the next train out and it gave us some time to get Maddox his own Paddington Bear and see the Harry Potter Shop at Platform 9 3/4 in the King’s Cross Station.
We made it to our hotel in Paris and just took it easy for the rest of the night.
