Christmas by the River

I popped along to the launch of this last night and have to say I was a smidge disappointed. It stretches over from London Bridge up to the Mayor's offices approaching Tower Bridge, which is nice but it makes it all a little sparse. The offering within the Hays Gallery is a bit generic, with the same kind of stalls you'd find all year round - nothing particularly interesting but good for those absolutely desperate to get a gift. Food-wise, there are maybe 10 or so stalls offering a collection of meals, all around the standard street food price of £5-10 including burgers and burritos, curries and hog roasts. My date and I shared a roast dinner in a giant yorkshire pudding which was lovely (though went cold quickly) and there is no seating or tables provided to eat it, so that was a struggle. The little pub is really cute and it's a decent sized mulled wine for a fiver, and there is also an ice bar but we were so cold already we didn't fancy venturing in there.
