1. Getting off the tube at Tower Hill 2. Tower Bridge 3. Louise 4. The ice rink 5. Superdrug Products 6. Superdrug Products 7. Zoe finding out which parts of her face and hands are hot or cold 8. Me 9. Me and Zoe 10. Walking onto Tower Bridge
I have been meaning to post about this for a good few weeks, but it appeared to have got lost amongst hundreds of Christmas time photographs and I had completely forgotten about it (along with some other back dated posts). I hope you don't mind me posting about it now, but I thought you might want to see some of the photographs I had taken and it's better late than never eh?
Louise and I hot footed it along to an event held by Superdrug, where they had rented the whole ice rink out for us to use. I can't say i'm much of an ice skater, in fact, think bambi on ice, Louise on the other hand, was quite speedy. She put me to shame. Although I use the term "event", it was more just a showcasing of some of Superdrugs products. We also met Zoe there of TheLondonLipgloss who then accompanied us for a stroll along to Tower Bridge before Lousie & I headed back to her house in Northampton for fun and frolicks. How beautiful are the buildings? You wouldn't expect something like this to be in London would you? When you think of a City, you think of tall glass buildings surrounded in other offices and plenty of shops. It looked particularly gorgeous all lit up at night.

ReplyDeleteSuch a shame my voice was groggy that day- I would've loved to come and say hello! I used to ice-skate professionally but I refused to ice-skate at this Superdrug event when I felt how super-slippery the ice was that day! Loving the photos by the way xx

ReplyDeleteLovely photos! I live in Tower Hill so it's very odd looking at these pictures and thinking "I walk past this every day!" hahaa. Although I think the Tower of London's ice rink was complete poo in comparison to the one at Somerset House... xx
ReplyDeletethe pictures are amazing!! what camera do you use?? x
ReplyDeletesuch lovely pictures, can't believe they rented out the whole ice rink at that time of year :o you're gloves are too cute by the way!

ReplyDeleteOH.. wow, dreamy photographs! I don't know why, but the general lighting and ambience (lol) of these photos makes me think of the Disney castle logo! No? Just me? I notice Louise sporting the lovely Primark heart jacket that you (And I :D) have too! Really awkward when you're wearing it down the street and walk past somebody else with it on.. x
ReplyDeleteI love your blog so much, I have given you an award! Much love xxx

ReplyDeletehttp://lilcutie89blog.blogspot.com/
it is such a pet peeve of mine when people (usually american tourists) refer to the tower bridge as 'the london bridge'. so...i love this post for many reasons but the proper reference is one of them!
ReplyDeleteLooks really pretty at night ;) Gorgeous photos :)
ReplyDelete:D i'd loved to have went to London again at Christmas, all the hussle & bussle & getting in the spirit for christmas :)

I cannot ice skate for my life. I'm too afraid to even walk onto the ice because the skates are way to big I think they will break my ankles!
ReplyDeletex
I am an awful skater. However I LOVE this area, my last boyfriends dad is a beefeater, so whenever we went to London we stayed with him in the tower. We even got a private tour of the crown jewels one night after a private function! Tis a little spooky walking through the grounds late at night!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun tho! Belle du Brightonxx
Gorgeous photos! Louise looks so cute in that picture. I'm jealous that you live so close to all this beautiful history!
ReplyDeleteI love the photos, the lighting and quality give them an artsy quality to them. Enjoy your videos too Zoella.

Sounds like you had a lovely time. I'm glad that you enjoyed London, I live in London so can vouch that it does have a lot of beautiful buildings which are even more stunning at night (less people around too!). I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog, and especially love your cutesy heart-warming posts and pics about everyday life, unlike some other ahem "bigger" bloggers who only ever seem to promote products or do ahem "sponsored" posts...I sooo don't read those types of blogs by the way!. x

Amazing! I wish I had more things to do down by London bridge just so I could walk past the river! It is such a fantastic area and I remember spending a lot of my Summer around the area. In fact I went to see an outdoors production of Macbeth which was really nice. But ice-skating by the tower of london sounds awesome! Did you have fun?

I totally agree, Tower Bridge has a special feel to it during the night. When I was younger my mum used to take me there when it was dark and we would just walk along. I was soo impressed at the time and i think that one of the reasons i still love it. You're absolutally gorgeus! And i cant even explain how much love i have for your gloves. Well I'm glad you had fun and sorry for rumbling so much:S xo
