London for Mum's Day


This weekend we went to London. In London we went to Camden Lock Market. It is called the Camden Lock Market because it is right by the Camden Lock which is a waterway. Camden Market is one of the biggest and busiest markets in London. It has over 1,000 different market stalls. Camden Market has food, book, clothes, shoes, knickknacks, and toy stalls. At one stall I got a chicken kabob! It was so good. We walked around for a long time and we did not even see half the stalls. At one food area, they had motorcycle seats for chairs. That is what you see in the bottom picture. In one store there were walls of old sewing machines, at least 100 or maybe 200 of them. There is also a bridge that goes over the canal so you can get from one side of the market to the other. You can see boats going through the locks. The Regent's Canal was opened in 1820. After Camden Market we went to see Billy Elliot the Musical. Billy Elliot is an Irish boy who wants to dance. The only problem is no one will support him. Even his family is against him dancing. Then one day he meets a dance teacher. After that his adventure soared. The musical was amazing! I could not get the music out of my head. Lots of the dancing involved doing flips and twirling and at one point they used a rope and he flew around the stage. Billy Elliot was EPIC! We went to London for Britain’s Mother's Day which is celebrated a different day than in America. My mom will get two Mother's Days this year since she is two times the fun.
