Totally our favourite quintessential english restaurant ever. It is utterly cosy, charming with amazing old countryside decoration. Transports you back to another era, or at least to outside of London. Amazing food, delicious wine, what's not to like! Book in advance though as they can get busy.

A big old pub turned into an mazing thai restaurant. Really fun, not expensive. Delicious food, and the best hanging plants to decorate the outside of any english pub I've seen in London. A real mix of Londoners come here.

Parks & Nature
A lovely park to stroll around, no matter what the season. Beautifully kept, with lakes, swans, geese, a palace where Diana used to live. Squirrels and now we seem to have green parrots! A great place to jog, especially of you go over into Hyde park and around the Serpentine. A perfect spot for a picnic in the summer like many of the English do.

Well, you really can't beat Harrod's food hall. It is breath taking, and delicious. Stop off for champagne, caviar and oysters in between paying for some of the world's most expensive items. Just don't go around Christmas as it is way too busy.
