Borough Market, London

A rainy day in London is anything but unusual. It leaves us Britons praying for just that sliver of a Summer. Just a promise that we're not heading into 40 days and nights of rain. But we've come to accept that packing an umbrella in the middle of August is a must. And quite frankly, what's a British Summer without embracing a few soggy-sandwiched picnics?  

So we started off our drizzly afternoon in one of London's most bustling spots, Borough Market, where the vibrant stalls of fresh fruit and vegetables had offset the drab weather outside. The market is possibly every Foodie's dream. Whether you're gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian or none of the above, you would find it hard not to find something that looked and smelt incredible. And the sheer scale of the market provided shelter from the rain for a good few hours.

We then jumped on a clammy tube over to Buckingham Palace to escape the rain on a tour around the State Rooms. In the Palace Gardens we finished our afternoon with afternoon tea, just so one could say they've had tea at the Palace - ha ha ha, never gets old.

(Side note: I'm not ashamed to say I've never been more attracted to a peach in my life).
