We both moved to London at the same time and had whimsical ideas of running around London together, drinking white wine spritzers and going on plenty of dates with plenty of boys. However, we both found boyfriends within a few weeks of arriving so our plan was somewhat skewed (don't worry boys, we forgive you). We try to meet up as often as possible and this weekend has been no exception.
The sun has been out in all its glory this week and we decided to make the most of it by watching London Pride and enjoying some cool drinks.
First thing first was find a juice and some yummy puddings to knock off a little thick head on Soph's side. We found this charming pub and hotel on New Quebec Street and dived into freshly pressed juices, a steak salad for Sophie and sweet puddings for after.
Feeling revived we made our way to Trafalgar Square to bag a good spot amongst the crowds.
The atmosphere was buzzing and full of colour. Literally every walk of life had descended here.
The parade started with a flurry of colour and a flourish of flags. People cheered, cried and whooped under the blazing sun.
The Barclays bus provided us with an explosion of multi-coloured confetti which thrilled the crowd.
This float certainly knew how to party!
The partying is still going on and will undoubtedly carry on until the early hours. We headed to Old Compton Street and can certainly recommend making a beeline there for a carnival-inspired evening. The streets are alive with colour and love.
I hope you have all been enjoying the sun - it's set to be a scorcher this week! Don't forget the sun cream!
