I hate ice-skating. I just hate it. It looks beautiful and Christmassy
and all sorts of lovely, but I just can’t. I think it’s because I saw a bloody
accident at Streatham Ice Rink when I was younger and I 100% have no core
stability so I feel very vulnerable on the ice. So when it gets to this time of
year I feel a bit at a loss for Christmassy activities that don’t involve
bloody ice-skating or cost a day’s wage (I’m looking at you Winter Wonderland)
– but I found one at the Southbank Christmas Market.
My friend Bex and I headed there before midday on a Sunday
and it was pleasantly quiet; and by this I mean busy but bearable. If you like
street food, you’ll love this place – we spotted pancakes, Indian food, kebabs,
pizzas, burgers, hot dogs, waffles… the list goes on.
We opted for dutch pancakes and bratwurst hot dogs and oh my
lord, both were SO good. Make sure you get the hot dog with the sauerkraut (Bex
hadn’t had it before and she was very impressed), and we loved the Dutch
pancakes with icing sugar and maple syrup, I think the nutella option would
have sent our blood sugar levels into overdrive.
All food was washed down with a hot cider at the Rekorderlig
bar, which was delicious, however a lot stronger then it tastes, maybe it was
the cold, but my legs felt seriously heavy when we got up to leave…
The market reminded me of the Weihnachtsmarkt in Germany,
and sure things are a tad spendy if you want to eat, drink and buy bobble hats
– but if you’re after something a little
less superficial than Winter Wonderland, then I’d definitely give it a visit.
