Day 16 London

 Today, I was alone again. I went to explore David Bowie's neighborhood. Bowie was originally from Brixton. It's a working-class but vibrant neighborhood in South London, known for its markets and lively scene. Upon arrival, I was initially surprised by the major difference between Chelsea and Brixton. I felt like I wasn't in the same country.

I walked along Electric Avenue, the title of a 1982 Eddie Grant song. The title refers to Brixton's Electric Avenue, where the first market to be lit by electricity was located. The market stretches over several lanes where you can find a wide variety of products: food, clothing, and other items.

I didn't take many photos because I felt it would have been intrusive for everyone present.

 

 

For lunch I when in on of the little cafés in the Market : The Joint.  It was a nice place to do people watching. 

I came back in the mid-afternoon after a stop for grocery.  I took advantage of this time to do my laundry.  

Without consulting each other, my friends went to visit Moco, where I went the day before. They also vist the Mercato Mayfair : Chantal and Raymond for the lunch, Anne and Alex for the collation.  

Chantal and Raymond went to Selfridges.  Chantal was impress by the quantity of choice for each item.

Tonight, we went at Coté Brasserie.  Such a nice friday evening !  Chantal and I, we said to ourself  that Friday night is Friday night and that no matter where we are, we celebrate friendship.  It is a must ! It was a very pleasant night with our friends. And to make the moment even better, everyone's meal was excellent. We even shared a dessert. It was like a festive evening. A festive Friday, just the way I like them.
