Thoughts.

There is so much about London to love, and no shortage of people to tell you where to fall in. It had been years since I’d properly visited, but my girlfriend was there for work, so I went too. It was so much more beautiful – and more green! – then I remembered. All I really did was eat, drink and stroll past all of the parks and charming shops / pubs / cottages with three amazing women I know from totally different stages of life. 

Stay.

• Kimpton Fitzroy London. Swanky, cozy, central. Even better with a bestie.  

Eat 

• DUCKSOUP. Natural wines, cozy space and good people watching. 
• Bubala. Middle Eastern vegetarian vibe in Soho. Super creative, delicious food.
• Blandford Comptoir. Sweet spot in Marylebone, especially if it follows the required pub visit with an old friend. 
• The River Cafe. Liz, you have made this restaurant iconic to me. What a fabulous place, even if you show up to the wrong River Cafe at first. 
• Gail’s Bakery. Scones. I really love scones and these were fantastic.

Play.

• Borough Market. This market is so much fun to walk through and sample all the bites. We walked there just to burn off the morning scones so we could try it all. 
• Stroll. Sit in Parks. Repeat. It was full on spring when I arrived. Everything was blossoming and I even saw the sun! This was the very best part of my visit.
