London Craft Market and Shopping

In hindsight, I wish I would have taken more pictures at this market, but some people do not like for their craft ideas to photographed.  So, here are the few I was able to take.

Old beer bottles turned into glasses.

This is an old deli turned t-shirt shop.  Love how they use the old meat cases to display the t-shirts!  This place is called Johnny Cupcakes.

Three thousand years ago, this valley, which was to become the future social and political center of one of the greatest empires of ancient times, was submerged in marshland.  By an incredible invention of engineering, a canal that is still in function to this very day, allowed for the drainage of the land.
