Back in East End

It seems we have fast forwarded to summer. Today was a hot day and I haven’t seen such confused outfits for a very long time: wellies and a coat, big puffy jacket and sheep skin boots and many more.

Young Frederick and I got ready to visit the East End for the first time together. We picked up hubby from his office, grabbed our friend and headed to Redchurch Street. The chances of getting an outside table at The Albion were slim so we went a bit further down to Franze & Evans for delicious selection of salads and some incredible desserts:

A chocolate fondant

A lemon eclair with pistachios

A brownie

Afterward I went for some gardening supplies to Labour & Wait. I stuck to my shopping list however I have got a new one already after seeing some new goodies in the shop.

I also popped into the newly opened A.P.C. store and tried these shorts. It was a bit of a challenge with a sleeping baby in a sling. In the end I decided I couldn’t make a judgement so I passed.

But I absolutely fell in love with these few items…

Sigh.

We ended our excursion with a visit to White Cube to catch Anselm Kiefer show, catch it before it ends on the 9th of April, it’s very good.

    Sounds like a wonderful day out–and the perfect weather for it too! Have added the deli to my must-visit cafe list. And still haven’t made it to Labour & Wait…I obviously need to make an East End excursion too!

    Ooooh, all such nice places. It feels too long since I’ve been to East London. I love your A.P.C selections!

    skirmishofwit: it’s hard to keep up with this trendy part of town, Allpress is all the rage apparently
