ladies and gentlemen boys and girls welcome to London
it's October and that's what I'am going to share with you a little of life here in town this month
I'am starting at London's Charing Cross I'am headed to an event just across the road
in Trafalgar Square
now so far this month the weather has been really good it's been quite warm
the last few days its started to get really cold and I'am gonna go to a couple of outdoor events
this weekend so I'am hoping the weather will be more autumn
and less winter-like I'm heading past Trafalgar square
first of all one of my favourite restaurants take away spots in this part of town
Gabby's deli they do great food it's a great value for money too which is rare in this
part of town I've read it shutting at the end of this
month which is sad it's not first time I've heard it shutting though but I
thought better go and get my fix my favourite dishes from Gaby's while I'm here so I'am gonna get
a salt beef bagel my other favourite if you're vegetarian or vegan is the homemade
falafels and hummus and then we can head back down here to Africa on the
square which is just across the road in Trafalgar Square
you can hear the music from the stage at Africa in the square Trafalgar Square first of all lets head
just a little way up Charing Cross road to Gaby's deli
and get some of their food while I still can
(Music)
okay so this is Gaby's Deli here on Charing Cross Road it's been here since 1965
unfortunately by the time you get here and watch this it may no longer be here let's go in and get a
salt beef sandwich they are delicious
(music)
okay salt beef bagel from
Gaby's Deli
might be one of my last so I'll share this with you
okay I'am on the steps of St Martin's in the fields Church just opposite
Trafalgar Square the music you can hear is from today's event in the square
(music)
so let's try the salt beef bagel from Gaby's Deli
(music)
right lets try this
(music)
delicious the salt beef is incredible the pickles
the mustard cut straight through it amazing
I'll be very sad when Gaby's shuts I guess all good things have to come to an end
I think the pigeons are as interested in what I'am doing as the dealers
okay lets head into London's Trafalgar Square and check out this years Africa on the
square an annual event celebrating the art and culture of Africa
I think there is usually artists some music and food from
virtually every African nation lets see what we can see
(music)
okay it is freezing cold out today so I'am gonna head into the crypt beneath the
church just opposite Trafalgar Square
and get something warm to drink hopefully a coffee
(music)
okay the main Crypt is super busy it always is but there is this room
at the back of the crypt peace and quiet its nice and warm the coffee is OK too
(music)
okay I hope you enjoyed this visit to London's Trafalgar Square and the cafe
in the Crypt I'am going to head back over to Trafalgar Square and watch some more at the
entertainment until I get freezing cold again and I'll see you guys a little later in
the month

London's Trafalgar Square the Sun is just about to set so hopefully
it's a festival of lights I'am hoping for a light show
