I really enjoyed my time in London and can’t wait to go back. I can see myself Revisiting multiple times, I didn’t get to do or see everything I wanted but these are things I’ll do every time.
Breakfast at Dishoom
I originally only went to Dishoom for breakfast because I heard it was hard to get in for dinner. It was so amazing though I was tempted to go everyday for breakfast. The only reason I didn’t was because Flemings Mayfair has the best continental breakfast I’ve ever had and it was free with my stay. The restaurant is very cool although it might be loud at capacity. The vibe was very low key in the morning with mostly business people or friends meeting before work. I had the egg roll because I was curious about the orange sauce and it was delicious! The only thing I’ve ever had like it is a West African hot sauce although the dipping sauce was mild heat at most. The Chai is also the best I’ve ever had! Although I’ve only had Chai a handful of times I’d drink Dishoom’s ever week if I could.
Next time I want to go to Dishoom at least twice if not every morning.
Chocolate at Chocolate Cafes
London has quite a few Chocolate Cafes. I went to Hotel Chocolat and Knoops on this trip. It was really hot for late September so I had ice chocolates. There are so many options at the Chocolate Cafes and I really discovered my favorite drinking chocolates on this trip, 45-50% cocoa which is right between milk and dark chocolate.
Every time I go back to London I’ll restock on Hot Chocolate Flakes mixes.
Fortnum & Mason
I know everyone wants to go to Harrods but I much preferred Fortnum & Mason. Harrods was to crowded and over the top for me, too much stimulation. I’d recommend anyone who is neurodivergent to avoid Harrods. I loved Fortnum & Mason though, even crowded it has the feel of understated Elegance that is much more my style and less overwhelming for me. The teas and soap I bought were amazing and luckily they decorate for Christmas early so I got to see their displays.
Every time I go back to London I’ll restock on teas and soaps.
Bike the Royal Parks
My favorite thing I did in London was bike riding in the Parks. St James, Green, and Hyde Park all have connected bike paths and bikes to rent for cheap. It was so much fun! If I lived in London I’d do this at least once a week. I also walk the Kensington Flower path and saw the Parakeets!
Next time I want to do this at least 2-3 times.
