South Bank Xmas markets

Apparently these things are here all the way from Cologne, bringing Londoners nothing but the finest Schinkenwurst, mulled wine, jelly lolly Schtroumpfs (aka Smurfs), and touristy crap. Still it's nice to see so much activity from our apartment window, and even the London Eye have gotten in on the act by wrapping their engine room up in a big bow.

Some fine beach art. Apparently the sand is a sign that the Thames is becoming less polluted. It's part of its 'self-cleaning' ecosystem, so hooray for that!

Caught up with Jan (who is now on her way back to NZ alas!) and Kyle and had another look at what the markets had to offer before going for a wander (and a beach-comb) along the Thames, and finally stopping off for deliciously-expensive cocktails at the Oxo tower.
