We started with a trip up to the Sky Garden, so we could admire the view.

The SkyGarden is on the top floor of the Walkie-Talkie with a restaurant, cafe and bar.

You can visit the garden for free and have a coffee if you make a reservation in advance.

We had a coffee and admired the views.

The view was amazing and it was nice and clear so you could see for miles.

We wandered across London Bridge afterwards to Borough Market, where Holly wanted to pick up some flavoured olive oil to take home.

Holly treated me to a cider from the New Forest Cider.

We then shared a honeycomb donut from Bread Ahead which was so delicious.

I had to save a bite for Tom, just so he could see what all the fuss was about.

We headed to sketch afterwards for cocktails, and as London's most Instagrammed restaurant, we couldn't wait to see it for ourselves.

The Gallery was gorgeous and pink, covered in hundreds of drawings David Shrigley.

We sat in The Parlour and had cocktails. I tried the Verano En Cuba with rum, rhubarb & lemon thyme sherbet and tonic.

The part we were most excited about was checking out the toilets which looked like alien pods.

Afterwards, we popped into the Lego Store in Leicester Square.

There was a huge two-floor model of Big Ben in the window and a life-size tube train you could sit in.

We met up with Tom at Gordon's Wine Bar when he finished work.

We sat in the candlelit caverns and shared a bottle of wine and platter of cheese.

We then made our way to Mr Fogg's Residence for cocktails.

The bar was covered in antiques with penny farthings and a hot air balloon hanging from the ceiling. They were playing an audiobook of Around The World In 80 Days in the toilets.

We then had to hug Holly goodbye and rush off to Hammersmith where we were seeing Evanescence at the Apollo.

Playing to a sold out crowd on the second night of their London tour, Evanescence burst onto the stage at the Eventim Apollo with hit song Everybody's Fool.

With a new album titled Synthesis scheduled for later in the year, the band have been touring since April with dates all over the world.

Front woman Amy Lee's incredible voice sounded just as strong and enchanting live, whether rocking out with the band on Going Under or unaccompanied with her haunting piano playing.

The crowd fell silent to a gorgeous rendition of My Immortal and then Amy held her own on Bring Me to Life before returning for an encore of Disappear.
