A QUICK DAY OUT IN LONDON

I love going into Central London, theres no secret about it, I thought I would share what I did when my family came to London for a quick trip! The first place we went to was Harrods in Knightbridge - I love the area and been passed it many times but can you believe I've never actually been into Harrods?!

 

 

 

 

After spending ages in Harrods (The Disney Store in particular) looking amazed at everything we headed to Covent Garden. It was a lovely sunny day so after walking around browsing the shops we went to Southbank and grabbed something to eat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even though I've been to these areas so many times I never get bored of seeing them again and I always take a picture or two.

Walking around London can get really tiring but then you have enough places to eat to refuel yourself up, maybe even over indulge, (but it's only one day its fine right?!) have a look at this interesting infographic 'to work it off' (Wimbledon style). Let me know what you think! https://www.central-london-apartments.com/blog/how-to-work-off-your-wimbledon-favourites-infographic/

CHRISTMAS IS COMING

I love going into Central London and to see the Christmas lights this year made it definantly feel more like Christmas is just round the corner.

After having lunch at Mishkins (See my 'FOODIE TAKE II' post) I looked around Covent Garden to see all there lights and decorations:

I didn't realise this was made from lego!

Covent Garden Christmas Tree

Spot of window shopping.

Then walked down Regent St too see there Christmas lights. 

Via Carnaby Street to Oxford Street - 

 

Seeing everyones post about Oxford Street Lights we had to take a look.

This was Selfridges.

  

 These lights and decorations everywhere put me in a happy festive mood. What are the Christmas Lights like in your area?

FOODIE TAKE II

I have been wanting to visit Mishkins for months now and finally went the other day. The food was so good I had to write a post about it quick.

The setting of the restaurant reminds me slightly of an American diner with the booths, they even have the stereotypical ketchup and mustard bottles. 

  

As soon as we went they we were seated (we had just beat the lunch rush) and our glasses were topped up with water - which is nice to have as many English restaurants you have to wait and pay for water. Our food didn't take long to come which was good because we were starving!

The food has a Jewish take on it so it's somewhere different to enjoy and I can say the food didn't disappoint with this restaurant in Covent Garden and can see why it's growing more popular. 

Here's the Reuben on Rye and Reuben Burger with a side order of onion rings and 'east end' chips.

I can say everything we ordered was amazing - cooked to perfection but especially the burger with the cheese (WOW!), have to say the best I've tasted!

Will be defiantly going back there! I recommend going if you are in the Covent Garden area and want to try something different. If you've been to Mishkins, what did you think of it?
