london in the summer

It's only been a little over a month since I visited Lucy in London, so I'm right on time for writing about it! From a Friday night to an (early, early) Monday morning, we packed in a pretty good amount of stuff: a brief visit with my friend Cecilia, brunch at The Breakfast Club in Hoxton (the SoHo one having been without electricity that day (!)), a visit to Radley (naturally), dinner and drinks at The Boater's Inn (which is in Richmond and right on the Thames, and is lovely), rather hungover Sunday lunch at Moro, lazy afternoon watching 27 Dresses, and a Sunday evening trip down the block to watch "the football" (England vs. Italy in the Euro Cup) at Lucy's local pub, The Normanby, which is lovely. I haven't done a truly touristy thing in London in either of the past two visits, and in the visit before that Megan and I only rode the London Eye because our lovely hostess Lucy was working. Visiting cities with (or like!) a local is such fun.
