I’ve always thought that an entire life is not enough to visit the world and once you have been in a place, no matter if it’s a city or a island or anywhere else, it isn’t the case to come back and it should be better to use a new trip to visit new and different places. Well, obviously my theory has some exceptions. There are places where you leave your heart and which always give you new cues. No matter how many times you visit these places, you can always discover something new and live different emotions. In my case, one of these places is London. Last week, I had the opportunity to spend three days in this amazing city for the fourth time in my life. But this time my trip was a bit different…less touristic but not less experiential!
First stop
My hotel was in the Shoreditch district. With its gallery of Art and small picturesque shops, Shoreditch gives home to thousands of creative individuals, from Fine Artists to musicians, designers and filmmakers. This district has also a fantastic nightlife. If you are in London don’t miss to come here and have a nice dinner, listening to some good music and drinking a beer with some friends!
My husband and I had a dinner at The Princess of Shoreditch that I recommend you if you are planning to have a romantic dinner. You can eat such a really good food as well and I suggest you to try one of their appetizer-soup called “London peculiar”. I’m not sure about its ingredients but it was similar to a pea soup with piece of Salmon fish…absolutely tasty! Second stop Among million of things you can do in London, what I’ve never done before was the “Afternoon tea”. This time, thank to a friend of mine who lives in London, I did it and It was such a wonderful, relaxing and enjoyable experience! Afternoon tea is a small meal snack typically eaten between 2pm and 5pm. Usually you can have a nice cup of tea and a glass of champagne, accompanied by small sandwiches or baked goods (such as scones)often served on a tiered stand. We went to London Courthouse Doubletree by Hilton Hotel. It was a really nice place and perfectly located nearby Carnaby Street. Loooovely experience!!! :)
Third
stop
Another place that I love visiting when I go to London
is Covent Garden. Although It’s a touristic place, I like the atmosphere you
breathe there.
Fourth stop
Obviously in my London trip I could not miss some
shopping too and in the lovely shop of Sass & Belle in Covent Garden, I
bought these two gadgets for my house: a couple of lovely decorate hooks:
The shop of Sass & Bell is a paradise for girls
with wide selection of gifts and decorative products for home and garden.
Jewellery holders and stands, decorate hooks, vintage cushions, lovely owls,
cupcakes money boxes and much more.
Once at home, I’ve tried to find a perfect place for them. The “Coat” hook in my living room and the “Necklaces” hook in my bedroom...and here they are:
Pacman
Nostradamus
Magical Cat Adventure
Snake
