In the heart of London's historic East End, where the streets are still cobbled, and Jack The Ripper walking tours wander the night, one of London's most eccentric museum experiences is hidden behind the doors of 18 Folgate Street.

London's Victoria and Albert Museum is one of my favourite places in London. Locally known as the V&A, it's one of this city's free museums, so you can just wander in whenever you feel and take a look around.

I haven't done a post about London in while, and I love sharing my adventures in the city with you, and places that I love. This time, I went to St Paul's Cathedral, which is a beautiful, peaceful place. Oddly enough, even though I've been in London for 8 years, I hadn't actually gone inside …

This was the first year that I attended the Fashion Week Festival, which is now housed at The Store, on the Strand in London.
