We arrived at Hongdae Fashion Street at 11.50am, ready to start shopping. After a few days of sightseeing, it was finally time to kickstart in retail therapy.
It was a long stretch of street lined with boutiques offering a variety of items. From trendy clothes and beauty products to unique souvenirs, there was many things to explore. Most of the clothing were thick pieces, preparing for the winter season.
I managed to get a short sleeve top from this boutique, 'From D' at ₩15,000 (or S$14.75). While the clothing in this area leaned towards the pricier side, the quality was quite not bad.
Hongdae is a bustling area filled with boutique shops, trendy cafes and eateries, making it a popular spot to hang out especially for the younger crowd. After an hour of shopping, we completed the stretch and decided it was time for lunch.
Being a Potterhead, a huge fan of Harry Potter, visiting 943 King's Cross Cafe was a must for me. It was only 10 minutes walk from Hongdae, we reached the cafe around 1.15pm.
I took a magical journey on a broomstick straight to King's Cross Station. Outside the cafe, there was a broom parking photo spot area, inviting everyone to capture a bit of magic before stepping inside.
As we stepped inside, we spotted on the right of level 1 was Ollivanders' wand shop in Diagon Alley. Known as the finest wandmaker, Ollivanders' shop was brought to life with shelves stacked with wand boxes.
On the left was the ordering counter where we placed our order before exploring the cafe further. Each person was required to order at least one drink, which seemed quite reasonable. The menu offered a decent selection of drinks, light bites and cakes.
