Walking around Brick Lane!

Who knew Brick Lane will offer sooo much, even for kids?

We went to Brick Lane to do a Graffiti workshop for my birthday! I found the workshop via Funzing website. It was on  the expensive side but it  was so much fun and in a relaxed community garden. The community garden itself has so much stuff to see. There was an unusual mini playground for the kids, a community cafe and lots and lots of colours through plants and art!

The graffiti instructor was very patient with all of us and great with kids! We were thought so much technique and as Mahish is the artist in the family, he loved learning and putting into practise the techniques he was taught. It was a 2 hour workshop and well worth it. We done our graffitis on canvas so it's great to have them put on our wall and admire our handiwork.

We then took a stroll around the streets of Brick Lane and stumbled on the Cereal Cafe. It is a cafe dedicated to cereals from the beginning of its time. It was like stepping back in time. The back of the cafe even had a bed which you could sit on (obviously!). It had a few video games and cereal boxes stacked on all walls bringing back my childhood memories. We ordered so goodies which was so warm and yum!

Once we came out, we then visited a bagel shop which did all kinds of bagels including the infamous rainbow bagels. The queues are long so beware. But it is worth the wait! My daughter loved her rainbow bagel!

We then visited lots of quirky shops along the road and before we knew it, the whole day was gone!
