I mentioned the Grapes in London – a fantastic fish restaurant in Limehouse – yesterday in my personal guide to great English food in London. We took a bunch of pictures at that place because it is so quaint, original, and has a lot of character. I’ll share some more of them with you guys in a future post, but for today’s Travel Photo Thursday I decided to feature just one of my favorite shots. We took this on the second floor where you can sit close to a large windows that leads to a tiny balcony which features great views of the Thames. To the left you can see the huge buildings that make Canary Wharf one of the major business districts in London. On the river itself you can see people holding on for dear life in speed boats whose drivers seem to get a special kick out of hitting the waves from a passing ferry. Looks kind of crazy, but also kind of fun
And have I mentioned the delicious food and drinks yet? If you’re in the area, you should definitely check out this restaurant.

It was super delicious! The Grapes is actually a semi-famous fish restaurant that’s won quite a few awards and has a long history. I promise a post with more details soon, but let me tell you… their version of fish and chips and mushy peas which actually consists of a whole batter-fried fresh fish is awesome!
Fabulous shot Sabrina. I love your POV!

I hear you!
Nice! I love London. What a nice dinner and view that must have been
It really was. And I had such a good time in London this time. Last time I was rained out, this time it was perfect sunshine and London redeemed itself
Sounds like a great location. I’ll echo the other comments – love your shot.
