LONDON Part 2: PLACES TO EAT


To continue on with our London Series, today's post is all about places to eat in London! We've picked out a couple of our favourite places to visit for a quick snack, a gourmet dinner or a fancy treat for pudding! We've tried and tested them and love them all so you can trust us!!


Lunch/Snack:

1) You'll find this restaurant everywhere...and by that we mean literally every 2 blocks!
Pret A Manger is the place to go when you want a quick delicious lunch! They make really delicious sandwhiches of all kinds and have the best carrot and banana cakes! #healthyy



2) For a healthy lunch LEON is perfect for a natural, good fast food! They do little hot boxes like a chicken, lemon and olive tagine or a veggie quinoa salad. They also do a cute little fishfinger wrap which is sooo nice, from sustainable sources and healthy!

Dinner:

3) Burgers and Lobsters
This is the place to go when you want a more high end dinner. Their customer service is absolutely incredible, I have never laughed so much at a restaurant! And just to add to the fun, the only things they have in their menu are burgers and lobsters! There's pretty much always a que, so make sure you go a teeny bit early! Also, just a heads up, the place isn't cheap but WORTH every pound! 


4) Chipotle 
Chipotle, Chipotle, Chipotle... Best Burritos ever? YES DUHll! They make the best and one of the heaviest burritos! I personally couldn't finish it, it was literallyy huge! But SO GOOD! We'd deffo recommend! ( IF you do, please let us know how brill our recommendation was! Hehe) PS. If you're starving, this is the place to eat at!

Dessert: 

 5)For dessert, you have so many options, but we chose to include 
LOLA's cupcakes!  They have a variety of different cupcakes which are all so good! *But Please try the oreo one, it's sooo amazing! The place is always pretty much crowded because it's just that yummy! 



6) For a bit of a fancy treat, try Browns Bar and Brasserie in Covent Garden! It is sooo beautiful, and is a pretty high end place to visit. They do gorgeous afternoon tea for £12 per person, which is quite a good price for such an amazing place and lovely food! 





7) If you're not a cupcake person, then try SNOG! A frozen yogurt place (also a bus!) The thing we love most about it is how funkyy and creative the place looks! It's appearance is so attractivee riiight?!





We hope this gives you a good idea of where to plan to eat on your next trip to London! Or if you're like us, plan your trip around your food!

LONDON: Places to visit- Tour Guide!

London is one of the most beautiful city in the world! Soo we decided to write up a post dedicated specifically to the city's beauty!

We're going to start off by Places to Visit:

1) London Eye. Yeah, we know it's an obvious one but it's one of the most iconic landmarks of this city! It's 135 metres tall and is Europe's tallest ferris wheel which is pretty cool! The views from the pods are spectacular (particularly on a clear day) and it's always fun seeing what you can spot from the sky!

2) Hyde Park. This is one of the biggest parks in London and it really feels it when you're wandering around! You can have a picnic on the grounds and even hire a deck chair to lounge back in on a good day! There's some playgrounds which are peerfect for families and if you're feeling a bit active you can hire a Boris Bike to cycle round the park or grab a boat around the Serpentine.

3) Big Ben. Secret little fact for you: Big Ben is actually the name of the bell in the clock and the tower is called the Elizabeth Tower! This is another of the most famous landmarks and so you can't exactly visit London without catching a sneaky peak at this!



4) M&M's Shop- Yes, a world dedicated just to M&M's.. sounds like heaven right?! This shop is 3 floors of chocolatey goodness and the largest sweet store in the world (apparently)!! You can create your own bags of pick and mix M&Ms, buy cuddly toys and homeware and pose with the numerous statues and displays dedicated to the sweets!





 5) Trafalgar Square. Again, another place that would be a real tragedy to not stop at on your visit! It commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar which was a famous British navy victory in the Napoleonic wars! The history around London is amazing! It's the perfect place to sit, grab something to eat, and reflect on life!



6) Covent Garden - Best day to visit: Sunday. This place is goooorgeous!! Some of the shops aren't particularly affordable (looking at you Godiva!) but they are really well laid out and the streets are so fun to walk down! You can usually find a street performer or band playing which is always good fun! For bonus points: try to find the Moomin shop- it's brilliant!  



PS. You'll see a lot of shows like this!


We didn't include all the tourstic attractions but only the destinations we love!
Hope you all have a lovely time in London! 

What's your favorite place to visit in London?

Let's Go To London!!

If you follow our Instagram account you'll know that Kimmy recently went on a trip to London!

We love visiting London. It's so unique as a city- so incredibly full of life, colour and tradition. Every step you take shows you something different, from the loud fairground to the calm parks, from gratified back-streets to the pristine up-market lanes.

We were so inspired and we hope you are too!












We hope you enjoyed the pictures! What was your favourite?
