The next morning we had decided we were going to bike out to Greenwich along the Thames and then take a boat back. So, we paid 2 pounds each to get bikes out of the cycle hire station near our flat. From there we headed down the path along the …
The next morning we packed up, headed downstairs, checked out, put our luggage in the trunk room and had a nice breakfast of toast and cereal before heading out for the day. We had determined not to repeat our previous mistake of not leaving time for Tower of London and …
That was our last night in Hackney, so the next day we carted our bags off to the hostel we had booked in a different part of north central London. It was called The Brazen Backpacker, it was a bar (The Brazen Head) on the ground floor with the hostel …
