a weekend in london |
|
A couple of weekends ago I went to London with Karl to just get away from all the hustle and bustle of our usual life. I tried to make the weekend as healthy as I could so I pre-planned a couple of places to go and eat before we headed down :).
We went down on the Friday after work so by the time we got to the hotel it was around 7.30pm. We literally just kicked back, watched a bit of telly and then had an early night.

Saturday
The next morning we got up and headed out for breakfast. We decided to head to a place called We are Squirrel. It serves healthy and nutritious foods and is amazing inside....it's like sitting in a treehouse!! I had the poached egg pot with quinoa, sweet potato and salad and a coconut yoghurt with a berry compote and granola. Amazing!
After our amazing brekkie we headed for a walk through Hyde Park where we discovered WINTER WONDERLAND!
This was super exciting so we definitely had to go in and take a look around!

Obviously it was just far too much fun to take too many photos! Loads of food, drinks, a ride on the big wheel and a few games later we finally decided to head on through to Oxford Street to see the Christmas lights!!
It was obviously heaving so I only managed one picture of sonme lights before heading in to Selfridges for some proseccoooo!!

After all this fun it was back to the hotel and a quick change before heading out to dinner at Island London. The food was incredible! Smoked salmon and scallops to start followed by a delicious steak with courgette fritters and sweet potato fries..uhhh-mazing!
Sunday

The whole weekend was pretty damn amazing!
So much so that we booked to go back again for New Year!!!
Made you want a few nights away? If London is somewhere you fancy visiting or just fancy an evening somewhere else in the beautiful U.K. then why not follow the link below to book? A cheeky little night away is never a bad idea!
