Day 6 - 'Waimbleee' (Wembley) and British Music experience at the O2

The next 2 days' posts i'll try something different.... Day 6 was a visit to Wembley on request of Mr.Priyank Mahajan. There was a special Indian buffet at Sakoni's that was to not to be missed.

You enter Wembley. First 5 mins your mind says - Welcome to India (in a queer sort of way)......5 more mins in there it says Welcome to Gujarat (again in a very queer sort of way)

As soon as you get out of Wembley station you read big signboards on walls that says- ' Spitting pan on the walls is unhealthy and anti-social. It is a public offence with a fine of .....'

You will find names of shops based on famous hindi movie names like Raj, Chandni and also television names like Tulsi! For more pictures and captions, click on the slideshow below:

All said and done one must admire the adaptability and entrepreneurial spirit. Some of them are really doing well. For e.g. Sakoni's. The food was quite good and I also saw the 'goras' eating there. The restaurant is run ekdum indian style with more seats in less space to cater to more people. The buffet caters to all Indian tastes and the waiter takes ala carte orders on a PDA! Gujjubhai owner himself was managing the waiting area and booking tables. The entire system was being run really systematically. There's a reason why Mr.Mahajan never leaves from London for Leeds without paying a visit to Sakonis. He gets that homely Indian food and the feeling ....

Next we bade goodybye to Mr.Mahajan and left for North Greenwich for the British Music experience at the O2 arena. The planned engineering works on the London Underground made sure we used 3 forms of transport to reach there but it was all worth it. No photography is allowed(and rightly so) there so I have no photos and I don't want to tell you what it exactly is. Just that a person even remotely interested in music must go here. One can spend hours here. I had a brilliant time!

If you're really inquisitive you can google the - 'The British Music experience, O2'

Thats about it...we used the Thames Clippers to come to London Eye pier. Its a very well organised service - the water transport(especially Thames Clippers) in London. Just a little expensive thats it :P Like most things in London!
