My favorite running route from the apartment in London takes me alongside the Thames, winding my way through parks and by canals, and ending up at London Bridge. Each way is around 3 miles but there is some debate amongst my running buddies if a break at the bridge (perhaps even a coffee) means I should class this as two runs or one - you know who you are Greg and David...
Tucked behind London Bridge is St Katherine's Wharf and in the May sunshine the crowds were out in force making it a little tricky for us runners.
The Dickens Inn is a reconstructed wooden warehouse that originally stood on the side of the Thames, thought to have housed tea and dates back to the 1700's. The Inn as it stands today was opened in May 1976 by the grandson of the famous author Charles Dickens and is one of the most successful pubs along the River Thames.
The Good Food Market was in full force when I ran past on Friday and made me wish I had more time to explore as the smells were amazing. It was quite an eclectic mix as I noticed a Haggis stall next to a Turkish deli and a fresh fudge stand. David and I ran past the Inn again the following day and with the market cleared away the area had a very different atmosphere.
