as much as i would love to share every moment spent, realistically i cannot. nor do i want to edit and post all that lol. BUT! London in general is a site to see. A perfect mixture of cultures, and a charming mix of traditional and contemporary architecture. The entire city is a backdrop for the best photos!

FOOD
As much as I'd like to disclaim (the clichÉ) being a foodie....I am...soo yea.
As stated before, theres a vast mix of cultures, so that means a vast mix of foods! Classic English dishes (Staple: Fish & Chips, of course) Caribbean cuisine (pictured above), Turkish, American and more, clearly I didn't taste it all. I was only there a solid week guys. Nevertheless, enjoyed every bit!

Mango Room
Intimate space (make reservations) Excellent Caribbean Cuisine + good drinks.

Chicken and Spinach Enchilada
I have to be 100%..this tasted like an Americanized enchilada..Of course you don’t come to Europe (or “America”) for an enchilada, but I was hungry and curious. Beautifully plated.
South Bank of River Thames
Scoff & Banter Avocado and Bacon Salad
Avocado and bacon salad. Overall I kept it cute with soup and salad, house dressing.

Coppa Club
Coppa Club AKA paradiso
This place gets its own segment. I've been following the Coppa club for at least a year or two now. Inwardly obsessed with the (very cool) aesthetic of this place. Its been on my secret list of restaurants to visit and voila..I got to go! lf you're casually in Central London..go. Whether you're dining inside, in a pod or outside, you won't be disappointed by this portion of paradise.

Friends before the show! The venue was a little too dark (and packed) to shoot :(
How long before you do what it is that your heart is set out to do? Tomorrow literally never comes until its here and before you know it, its too late. We await yet ANOTHER tomorrow, that never comes. How long will we continue to do the very things that go against the current of our best selves? We know the result of living outside our desires, for some, it may be gainful, but for most, the result is everything but sweet....yet we repeat the cycle. When will tomorrow be today? For once, lets see what results may yield.
Main: The Chicken and churro waffle, topped with thick-cut bacon + powdered sugar. Can't forget the homemade hot sauce, guaranteed hot (love spice)....I'll just let this sit with you...I'm DEFINITELY going back without a doubt.
For your quick Chi getaway or if Chicago is on your travel map, stop here. (Sundays offer bottomless mimosas, ijs.)
The entire aesthetic of the place is pretty chill and cozy. Love!
I spent the majority of my time soaking up the greatness! These are just a few favorites. Ps. Its difficult capturing art on your cellphone, its meant for your heart and mind, not your phone. The inspiration will never be the same.
