where should I go in London?

Work is sending me to London. The trip came up pretty suddenly, so there hasn't been much planning on my end. Are there any crafty-type things I really need to do while I'm there? Does anyone know? And in case you're wondering, no, I do not usually travel internationally for business. This is not the usual.

A robin built this nest too close to the driveway then abandoned it. It didn't work, but so pretty. Thank you very much for your kind words about our chickens.

I forgot to mention this earlier but Felicia from SweetGeorgia (http://blog.sweetgeorgiayarns.com/) just got back from London and she went to some pretty cool places.

Have a fabulous time in London. Hopefully you'll find a great keepsake for Beebs.

Liberty's great and all that, but if you really want something different go to the Button Queen for a fabulous selection of antique and vintage buttons. http://www.thebuttonqueen.co.uk/

And nearby is a trim shop ... VV Rouleaux

Have a great trip!

you must go to camden town esp early eve on a weekend - its buzzing. try and get to The Hawley Arms for cool celeb spotting and their polaroid wall.
Hampstead Heath and Kew gardens\are beautiful in the sun.

I thought I would see you one more time before you took off for the day on Friday. I hope your travels today went smoothly. I know you're going to have a wonderful time!

London sounds great, but I've never been, so hope you get some good ideas from others.
I adore your blog and need to go back and read your archives. I will have to point to you on my blog roll too once I get around to updating it. You may want to kick me, but I live in the bay area and I've never been to Britex to shop for Liberty fabric. Guess I know what I'm getting up to next Saturday! Thanks a million for the great idea.

Hello! I just happened across your blog.

For me the V&A museum is a must stop. It's an interesting museum in totality but I especially like the textiles and period costume. It's a huge place!

I can't comment on the markets though as I haven't been to any in a long time.

Have a great time!

I would second Liberty's and the V&A. Then add, if you want something outside and fantastic, the Highgate Cemetery. It is amazing.

Hi there! I am a certified lurker of your blog, but I thought that I should come out of hiding to share... London is a fantastic city! VV Rouleaux is wonderful (pricey, but wonderful). Also stop by John Lewis on Oxford street--they have some wonderful trims and yarns. Liberty is not to be missed. For a fun (and fairly inexpensive) dining try the Crypt at St. Martins in the Field. While in the area of St. Martin's go to the National Gallery--it has a fantastic Impressionist collection. Oh, and I forgot to mention Selfridges on Oxford Street...they sell everything! I'd be happy to share more--just email!
