City Breaks

London Mini Guide

One of the things I love most about cities is that they are ever changing. No matter how long you live in a city, it is impossible to ever completely conquer it. No matter how avidly you frequent every new opening, there will always be one you miss. The vast and ever changing nature of cities can be overwhelming but it is also exciting. It means each time you revisit, you’ll uncover a different facet and your experiences will be entirely different to the last. On my most recent trip to London, I went in search of superfood eateries and pastel-hued houses and was wonderfully surprised with what I found. Below are just a few addresses I would recommend adding to your list on your next trip to London:

Juicebaby

The best health bar I have frequented in London thus far. Juicebaby offers a vast selection of organic, cold pressed juices and the tastiest acai bowl outside of Australia.

Sushi Samba

Incredible sushi and creative Asian-inspired cocktails 38 floors high.

Liberty’s

Buckets of flowers from the renowned florist Wild at Heart decorate the storefront at Liberty’s and are among the prettiest and the most Instagrammable bouquets in London. The Tudor designed department store will keep any shopper content for hours with floor after floor of high-end clothing and beauty brands.

Nama Foods

Everything served at Nama Raw is not only 100% raw and vegan, it’s also entirely scrumptious. If you’re even slightly intrigued by healthy eating or veganism, this place is sure to win you over.

Notting Hill

Notting Hill is everyone’s favourite area to aimlessly wander with its endless rows of pastel hued buildings.

Granger & Co.

This café is one of the chicest hangouts in Notting Hill. I will forever return for their homemade granola served with coconut yoghurt and berry compote.

Raw Press

With the popularity surrounding cold pressed juices quickly rising in London, Raw Press is leading the way in encouraging these vitamin-packed juices all over the city.

London Eye

A trip to London isn’t complete without going on the London Eye and enjoying the incredible panoramic views it offers.

No.11 Pimlico Road

Open all day and evening, this establishment has it all: freshly prepared food, seasonal menus, carefully concocted drinks and everything in between.
