Spitalfields Market June 17th Finally, a whole blog devoted to food and specifically the markets that I have been able to visit. I got to explore Borough, Spitalfields, and Camden Market.

The Victoria-Albert Museum
The Victoria Albert Museum had very shocking pieces. Everything in that museum was interesting and represented a profound cultural moment. I wish we had seen some Shakespeare while we were here, because there were so many historical pieces I was obsessed with. For example, there were costumes worn by Lawrence Olivier and Judi Dench for …
#6 Cake Was Enjoyed. I Didn’t Die. Win, Win.
Burough Market has an entirely different vibe than Spitalfields. The pace at which crowds wander through is a bit more frenzied, a bit more rushed, and in general, more goal oriented: the goal being lunch. Everyone is hangry, and there is no time to doddle. My first stop took me to a fruit stand selling …

# 12 The Ups and Downs of Fringe (ahem…Lift)
Fringe theatre is something that I have very little experience with, but seeing Lift made me curious about how other fringe shows make use of small spaces. The Southwark Playhouse had a very intimate, community-oriented atmosphere. Even the waiting area, situated in a kind of L-curve surrounding the bar, allowed for seating that encouraged conversation between strangers. …

Within all the exhibits is the Theater & Performance collection; …
Connecting the Dots
Victoria and Albert Museum June 16th It is amazing how much history is preserved in London. The Victoria and Albert Museum contains pieces of art with a variety of backgrounds. Our group focused on the theatre exhibit, but it showcased a special Beatrix Potter exhibition, statues, paintings, miniatures, jewelry, and much more. It is worth …
Victoria Albert Museum (featuring comparisons to Life Of Pi)
Leah and I visited the Victoria Albert museum a couple days before the group today. This was because we met up with her childhood best friend and she was kind enough to pay for our tickets for the Fashioning Masculinities exhibit. It was a great exhibit which challenged the idea of modern masculinity and the …

6/16 – London Day 24
Hello all! My last day in London was today. I wonder how I will title the remaining blogs from now on… Maybe UK Day (insert # here)? Guess we’ll both have to find out tomorrow! I started off my final day here by getting breakfast at Dillon’s cafe, which is attached to the Waterstones book …
Victoria and Albert May Be Compensating for Something With the Sheer Amount of Items They Have on Display
Victoria & Albert Museum – Theatre Exhibition Our visit to the Victoria & Albert Museum was a little overwhelming, to be honest. Although I’m not the most attentive museumgoer (I don’t stop to read every plaque or examine every piece) I do generally like to take in every room and feel that I haven’t missed …
