London | Travel Diary 2017

With every December comes a time for exploration when it comes to Alex and myself. It would seem that every year we manage to do something or go somewhere and why not, it is, after all, the most wonderful time of the year. 

This year we decided to take our annual London trip in the month of December because there is always something new to see, try and I love going to see all the Christmas decorations. We got our itinerary ready and off we went on Friday, the 8th of December on the 8:44 train. First port of call was obviously to go shopping and the reason I love London so much is due to the vast amount of inspiration you can find for Christmas presents. We stopped at Fortnum & Mason, Liberty (obviously), looked at the beaut decorations on Carnaby Street and Covent Garden. The weather was perfect for us- no rain with blue skies and a cold chill to the air.

Our trip to London would not be complete without trying new food. We are massive foodies and every time we go to London we have a new restaurant to try. Instead of going to our absolute favourite- Bone Daddies, we decided to give Ippudo a try. I have to admit as much as I loved my ramen nothing beats a Bone Daddies. If I remember correctly I believe I had the Karaka-Men ramen with a boiled egg. Belly's full we went back to Covent Garden, definitely one of my favourite places to visit in London and we had a look in some more shops. At this point, we were both absolutely freezing and it seemed the temperature was dropping as the day went on, so we popped into Maxwell's Bar & Grill. We ordered the Salted Caramel Donut Freakshake- one to share between us and it was divine!! Seriously, if you're ever in Covent Garden stop by to try it. It was really delicious and not sickly at all although, that may have been due to sharing one! 

Our time in London was coming to an end so with one last look at Carnaby Street and Regent Street (as the Christmas lights had come on) we made our way home. We had a wonderful time and as always London did us proud. We left with belly's full of good food and many wonderful goodies.



What do you love to see in London?
