"If you are tired of London you are tired of life" said Dr Samuel Johnson in the 18th century. And it is still true today. On Saturday I ventured out with a friend NC to the South Bank - the largest art and entertainment complex in Europe. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon. There were so many things going on along the river. First of all at the South Bank Centre there was some indoor music going on - free. Outside there was an art installation called Volume which looked very interesting and amusing. The LCD posts change light and volume level according to mood and pattern. Then furhter along it was the Coin Street Festival in full swing with live band playing all sorts of music and stalls selling exotic Jamaica food including BBQs and other sugar cane and corn on the cob. I ended up buying a pot of golden thyme and a pair of silver earings. We walked as far as the Oxo tower area where the gallery there had a special WWF-sponsored exhibition showing a lot of the endangered species in the world including panda and polar bear. Very beautiful photography by R Hooper. Tate Modern seemed to be live with new exhibtions as well. And all these were for free. So go out and enjoy all these incredible treats London has got to offer. Enjoy London and enjoy life!
