Got the chance for a refreshing work trip to Immingham in the UK. Hotel situated in the lovely town of Cleethorps and I was lucky enough to actually experience some true British small town feeling. Had a pint here, a fish and chips there, and then another pint at some other place. And some work too of course.
Went back to London the year after to do more or less the same thing. Different travel partner though. Ended up doing shopping, clubbing and partying this time around too.
Went with a friend for a extended weekend to London to hang out with two other friends who were living and working in London. Spent most of the daytime wandering around/shopping and nighttime we went clubbing. Notable things we actually did was visiting Madame Tussauds, ate at a restaurant called Em’s somewhere in Soho and hang around in Camden Town/Camden Lock Market.
I’ve been to London a couple of times before, back in 2000 and 2001. London is one of those places you can come to over and over again. It’s nice just walking around looking at things. This time around I spent more time doing touristy things rather than clubbing so I actually got to see the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, Paddington Station, Big Ben and so on. Turns out it’s really easy to end up in Camden, a lot had changed since early 2000’s. But the cat-people at The Hobgoblin was still there. Always something. I also made an effort to find the restaurant Em’s which should be somewhere in Soho, but could not find it. Bummer. At least I got to hang out with my friend James a bit!
