Looking around Hammersmith....

We left the flat and walked down the street which took us to the Thames.  We walked along the path to Hammersmith bridge pictured below.   It is a really lovely bridge.  We went into the shopping area to see what there was as regards food shops to stock up for the next few days.  It was quite a busy little place with lots going on.  The weather wasn't too unkind with only a couple of rain showers to dodge.
While in the shopping mall Daniel and I went into The Car Phone Warehouse to get a new phone for John.  As we walked in the door I was aware of someone behind us.  The next thing there was a bang and the alarms went off.  We turned around to see the men grappling with things on the floor then taking off into the mall.  The staff in the shop went after them.  They had stolen 3 top of the range Samsung phones off one of the boards which were just inside the door (about £1500 worth).  The police arrived shortly afterwards but don't think they will catch them.  A little bit of excitement for our first day in London......
