Dinner options and a Sunday roast in London
London is a city with so many dining options that it can be difficult to decide where to go. Usually, I prefer deciding beforehand and making a reservation. But when you are on vacation, it can be hard to know exactly where you will be at a certain time. If you do not want to rush from one attraction to the next, it is probably best to stay a bit more flexible. At least that is what we decided…
Various breakfast spots in London
Breakfast in London is one of my favorite ways to start the day. While I have no idea what most Londoners actually eat before work, a Full English breakfast still feels like a must at least once during every visit. It may no longer be an everyday breakfast for many locals, but for a tourist with a full day of sightseeing ahead, it is hard to beat. Breakfast in London is rarely cheap. In many…

So for my last evening in London, I booked a table and hoped to…
Chapel Market Kitchen
On the lovely Chapel Market, which hosts a daily market as well as a Farmers’ market on Sundays, Chapel Market Kitchen sits on the corner. It describes itself as an oyster bar and grill, and they do indeed serve fresh oysters. Come on a Monday and you can get them for one pound each. Sadly, I was leaving on Monday, but at least I managed dinner here. Of course, the oysters on a Friday night were…
Islington - a great place to stay for a weekend
Islington came recommended by a friend when we were looking for an area in London to base ourselves for the weekend. It is a typical residential neighborhood with many shops and restaurants, plus there is the metro station Angel. From Heathrow it takes about an hour and twenty minutes to get here, but once you arrive it is worth your while. My first stop was The Three Johns, a pub which…
