PICS: Inside John Maytham's trip to London for Beyoncé and ICC World Test Championship

If living your best life was a person, it would be John Maytham right now!

PICS: Inside John Maytham's trip to London for Beyoncé and ICC World Test Championship

If you're a CapeTalk listener and wondered why John Maytham hasn't been on the airwaves this week... well, he's LIVING!

Maytham is in London for two things:

  1. To see Beyoncé live at London Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
  2. To watch the ICC World Test Championships final.

Catch up on that here: WATCH: John Maytham sees Beyoncé live in London: 'I was crying. It was beautiful'

Of course, other than absolutely living his best life and loving every second of everything he experienced, Maytham shared some pictures as he captured the little moments that amused him, made him smile, connect with others and go, "OMG, London is expensive!"

Here are some of those moments, captured and captioned by Maytham... 

"A beautiful cup of coffee with the exquisite agony of costing close to R90. London ain’t cheap!"

"Rolls Royce cars are everywhere - about as common in London as a Corolla in Cape Town. But the BMW is a different kettle of fish. The owner, Robert, told me it was the first car he bought 45 years ago, and ‘it’s still the car that makes me the happiest to drive'."
