a little known part of london many of us miss, st catherine's is a beautiful part of london, that is so peaceful and serene, you'd be forgiven for thinking your in the countryside! located oh so close to the tower of london, once entering a narrow lane it feels like your in another world. beautiful apartments, boats docked in canals, little cafes and shops, this is calm london at its best! i had an enjoyable few hours wondering around here, watching the rich people with their massive yachts, drinking tea in a little cafe watching the ducks.... it was a highlight of my stay in old london town!

the temple area is a little known part of london that i just happened to get lost in! this area, located not too far from the strand, is a series of twisting alleys, with buildings everywhere, courtyards etc. it's almost like a little private community. this is where all the lawyers are. they live here, have offices here, every single door had some lawyer or judges name. apparently, many many years ago, many of the lawkeepers of london decided to group together and live in the one area, close to the bar. and so, the inner & outer temple is here today, still carrying on that tradition of having the lawmakers live and work in this area. for me, a wander through the buildings and old cobblestone paths was a highlight, as was having an old perve in a porsche ask if i wanted a lift. um no thanks love!
