A week in London

I took advantage of being in London for my author Alice Kelly’s book signing to stay on for a few extra days. I ate some good food, saw some good exhibits and walked for miles despite the brutal heat. It was just what I needed to get rested, refreshed and ready for a busy autumn!

Here are my highlights:

• Still thinking about the cinnamon sticky bun at Fortitude Bakehouse

• Fig leaf and redcurrant bun at Don’t Tell Dad

• The famous chorizo roll from Brindisa at Borough Market

• A trip to London isn’t complete without a meal at Quo Vadis

• The Anish Kapoor exhibit at the Southbank Centre

• Museum of the Home

• Katie Stout’s installation at Selfridges

• Regent’s Canal Towpath from Paddington to Camden

• The beautiful Bloomsbury Hotel – check out Alice’s reel about it to see just how fab it is. I’m ruined for all future London trips! #gifted
