I’ve been lucky enough to visit London a number of times in my life, so this trip was less about hitting the big name tourist sites and more about London exploring more generally. In between visiting markets and spending time in pubs and restaurants with friends that live in London I did a whole lot of walking and exploring, so I thought I’d share some of the highlights with you today!
The very first night I arrived in London the friends I was staying with informed me they had managed to snag us a dinner reservation at Ottolenghi in Islington. Ottolenghi has 5 restaurants and delis across London, with the Islington one his very first.
London does food markets incredibly well and I made it my mission to visit as many of them as possible over the few days I was there recently, and boy was I not disappointed! Fresh produce, delicious snacks, handmade goodies and pretty much anything else edible (or drinkable!) you could imagine. Here’s a little about the three food markets I visited!
As part of our day in Christchurch we headed to Mama Hooch for a lunchtime feed and we were most definitely not disappointed! It’s open from breakfast to late most days of the week and was the sort of place I would have liked to come back to later for a few drinks as well.
When we’re off having travel adventures it can be easy to slip into bad habits and find ourselves creating all kinds of excess waste, which means we’re leaving the places we visit a little worse off than when we arrived. With these simple tips for reducing waste while travelling you can still have amazing adventures, just without the detrimental impact on the environment when you leave.
