Places to go in London
Sunday, April 22, 2012, ϟ 0 shout(s)

My school is in county Durham, but i travel down to london often.
Places that i will recommend you guys to visit:
1. Fortnum & Mason
Well, it is a shopping centre, similar to that of Harrods. But the difference is the products which they offer. They are known for their amazing quality of teas- ranging from black teas, to white teas and red teas. Personally, I love their earl grey and chamomile tea the most.
Check out the royal highness' visit to Fortnum & Mason

Location:
181 Piccadilly, London W1A 1ER 

2. Borough Market
It is a saturday market which sells foods of all kinds. 

Their spread of fruit juices are just amazing.
Oh and not forgetting Pimm's!
The various exotic meat that they offer.
(Crocodile, reindeer,zebra, kangaroo etc)
Well, I was too afraid to try them. But for all you curious
people out there, this is for you! 

Below are some snapshot of a cheesy dish that we got. It was fabulous!
Eclair is simply one of my favourite snacks/desserts 
Maracoons! 

This is th awesome duck sandwich. 
 The yummy thai green curry.



















Well, yup. That's borough market. Of course they do offer more than just these pictures.
Do check it out if you havent!
Nearest tube station: London bridge
3.  The 'Vintage Street'
Well, my friends and I label it as the Vintage street. It includes the spittlesfield market.
But i think the stuff that they sell varies according to the season.
Last winter was all vintage and antique stuff (from clothing to accessories and lots more!),
but this easter it was all food!


 The vintage bible. Gosh, have you ever seen such a huge and ancient bible before? Amazing!


Saucers dating as old as in the 1700s
Nearest tube station: Liverpool street tube station
4. Po Cha Restaurant

I went there twice and their service and food quality never fail me. The staff were all koreans (based on my visits) and I absolutely love their starters, especially their beansprouts and seaweed starters! (Y)
 Location: Tottenham Court Road tube station, 56 St Giles High Street, WC2H 8LH

5. 
For all you Christians out there, you may want to check out the ever-renown Hillsong Church London


Location: Tottenham Court Road tube station, The Dominion Theatre 268- 269, W1T 7AQ
Pst/ it is very close to Po Cha Restaurant!

6. Laduree
Yes, Laduree for its macaroons! I did get to dine in as well for its high tea. For students like me, who love to enjoy high tea but with a tighter budget, Laduree is a better option for me compared to Fortnum&Mason. 

Location:
#1. @Covent Garden: 1, The Market Covent Garden, WC2E 8RA
#2. @Harrods: 87/135 Brompton Road, SW1X 7X

 7. My Big Fat Greek
This restaurant serves Greek cuisine. The food they serve is excellent and is in abundance. 


Location: 16 Elephant and Castle


Of course, you should also visit places like the Westminster Abbey, 
Madam Tussaud, Hyde Park and the Trafalgar's Square.  They are the classic icons of London. 
Pst/ look out on my next few posts on London part 2!
