Neal's Yard

Monday, 13th of May 2016

A few days ago, despite of the rain that seems to still be waiving around London, I decided to that the perfect way to spend a day like that would be to visit several museums, such as the Grant Museum of Zoology and the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.

However, after two hours and without any rush to go back home, I started to explore the streets next to this places and found one of the most colourful corners of the city, Neal's Yard.

Located in Convent Garden, Neal's Yard is a small alley in that area named after Thomas Neale, a 17th century developer. 

It is a perfect place to take a photo and admire the many different colours that paint the seeing, but more than that it is every hipster's dream.

Containing several health food cafes and restaurants, being known not only for their products but also for their unusual decoration, is where people trying to run away from the mainstream culture go to hang out.

One of the most famous stores is Neal's Yard Remedies, a British retailer of organic natural health and beauty products. So, many people after a cup of tea or a glass of white wine in many of the cafés present in this area, go there to supply their cabbinets with this organic products.

I just went there to admire the architecture, but ended up noticing the growing fashion of organic and natural products in London.
