Limbo, tacos and the lights of the City

London Wonderground is a festival that took place for the first time last year and is currently running near the Southbank Centre (near the London Eye) until 29 September. As part of the festival, I went to see Limbo in the Spiegeltent. Difficult to really describe what the show is about - acrobatic and magic and dance and music and fire-eating (is that actually a word? It is according to my trusted online dictionary...). All performed by a small group of sexy men and women. Very sexy... Six packs and tattoos (I still want more!) and tight outfits... Out tickets cost £20 for seats in the stalls. It's quite a small and intimate venue and you basically have good views from anywhere and are quite close to the action.

In addition to the show, they have bars around. You can sit and sip your drinks in wooden bumper cars just outside the Spiegeltent. Once you are there, also check out the various installations around the Southbank Centre - including some wheelbarrows and flower arrangements. By the looks of it, it's quite comfortable to sit in them (the wheelbarrows - not the flowers)!

After the show (it lasts 1h15), we enjoyed the fantastic views over London from the balcony at the Centre. It's one of my favourite spots in London! And one of the places where I'm always hit by the realization: F*ck, I actually live in this city!!! We then had a bite at Wahaca. It was only about 21:30, but they were about to close, which meant that we got very generous helpings. The vegetarian tacos were yummy and at less than £4 a right bargain!
