Food
These are some of my favorite restaurants we ate at while in London. We ate so well while on vacation so I had to share.
The chocolate covered strawberries here are well known and so delicious! It’s very rich so you may want to split with a friend.
Turnips, Borough Market (Greengrocers)
The ambiance here is so cool and the food is delicious. I got the lobster and loved it, it had a unique kick of chili that I really enjoyed.
Sexy Fish
This restaurant had such a cool vibe with all of the gorgeous decorations. The menu was unique and everything we got was delicious
Amazónico
This restaurant was not planned, but it was right across from the theatre we were going to. We ended up loving the low light atmosphere and French food. I got beef bourgouignon and it was so tasty.
Cafe Boheme
This Chinese food was delicious. Absolutely loved the Peking Duck and Egg Drop Soup.
Min Jiang
I’m not sure if I love this place because Niall from 1D recommended it so long ago, but anytime I’m in London I have to get some. Their peri peri chicken is so good.
Nando's
This atmosphere was so cool in the restaurant. I loved their nigiri plate. The location is perfect right in Covent Garden.
SUSHISAMBA Covent Garden
Nando’s is my favorite takeout to get in London
this was much needed after arriving in London very jet lagged #nandos #nandosuk #1D
Definitely recommend this spot for a sushi night.
The atmosphere at Sushisamba in Covent Garden was really cool & we loved getting to explore the area beforehand. They have the best Christmas decorations #sushisamba #coventgarden #londonfoodie #londonrestaurants #londonsushi
Activities
These are some of the most fun things we did while on vacation. Highly recommend trying some of these for your trip too.
This market has such a good range of food to choose from. The crowds can be rough but I think it’s worth it.
Borough Market

Notting Hill was such a cute area to walk and shop around. They have the rainbow houses along portobello road and lots of vintage stands to look through.

This Ralph Lauren pop up in Sloane Square it so cute - they have holiday drinks (Ralph’s coffee), sweaters, and lots of cute decorated spots for photos.
Sloane Square - Festive Holiday Experience
This historic location is really near to walk around and see the layout of the fortressed area. The Crown Jewels are housed within the tower and they are so pretty to see.
Tower of London
Madame Tussaud’s was so much fun - there are so many wax figures of famous people, as well as a ride through England’s history, and watch a movie about the Avengers.
Madame Tussauds London
This show was so incredibly fun, the music was amazing and you learned a lot about Michael Jackson’s history. The theatre was gorgeous in the middle of Picadilly Circus area.

If you’ve ever wondered how you would do in Squid Games, this is probably the closest experience you’ll get to it. We had so much fun trying the different game rooms and getting to pretend like we were in the show.
Squid Game: The Experience
A must see department store - unlike anything I’ve been in before. But be careful during the holidays it’s so packed!
Harrods
So many cute shops and restaurants to walk around. If you’re there during the holidays, the Christmas decorations are unreal.
Covent Garden
