People often ask me - "Rik, what do you get up to at lunchtime, working right near Tower Bridge as you do?" So I thought I’d put together a little lunchtime travelogue for you all. This blog is so like interactive.
First I put my skates on, then I went to see what is in the Design Museum Tank at the moment. Turns out it was a bunch of weird chairs…
So, I made a mistake in my compelling narrative. They aren’t chairs by "Clay Maarten-Baas", rather, they are clay chairs by Maarten Baas. Wildly expensive clay chairs.
After getting my obligatory design-fix, I decided to skate over Tower Bridge…
Which was all very exciting. After skating along the north side of the river for a while (sorry, I couldn’t be arsed to film the Tower of London) I crossed back to the south side of the river via London Bridge and grabbed a coffee and a flapjack at Borough Market…
Monmouth Coffee Company does probably the best coffee in London. Look, you can almost smell the beans…
Having sat down and enjoyed my coffee I skated around a bit more, and then finally settled down for lunch, which today was a lovely, fattening hot salt beef sandwich. Banjeroo and I are going on a cleansing diet starting this weekend, so I thought I should indulge. Plus it was cold and grey and miserable and it cheered me up…
So that was my lunchtime. Food, exercise AND a travelogue/blog post. How is that for multitasking?
