Then we went to The Tower Bridge and went inside to the walkways and there was a glass floor to walk across and stand on and look down below to the river Thames.

After that we went to Borough Market and bought some doughnuts, which are said to be the NICEST IN THE WORLD. They were the best I ever had.

Afterwards we went to Monument which is a memorial to the Great Fire of London and has 311 spiral steps which was really difficult to climb up. There were loads of great views from the viewing platform.

I loved looking at everything in Hamleys and I was very tired climbing up! 😉
London was really fun!
My favourite dream jar was Theatre of dreams by Tim Minchin. Which was yours?
I think it’s the Healthy Start, Happier Lives! 🙂
Wow I can’t believe how much you managed to do when you were in London! Were you tired afterwards? It looks like so much fun! I love the dream jars.
It’s very colourful in the M&M shop isn’t it? We went there once and a giant M&M started dancing with us! I’ll have to show you the video when I next see you.
Great blogging as always Dillon! Xxx
No, I wasn’t tired. M&M World almost blinded me! 😉
Wow Dillon, you had such a busy weekend. You have described it all so well that I almost feel like I was there. The photographs are lovely, I like the one of you with the Lego Queen, the food looks very interesting too.
The dream jars look interesting, I would like to go and see those. I love London too but haven’t been since 2012 when the Olympics were on, your blog has made me want to go again.
See you soon,
