Full of people from all over the world,
London is also a great place for
discovering the joys of street food. Stalls
can be found anywhere and there is no
greater fun than going on a street-food
hunt. My favourite is The Rib Man, the
founder of which has been a butcher
since the age of 15. Believe me, I was not
a fan of ribs and pork at all, but after my
first bite of the Rib Man’s amazing rib roll,
I was converted.
More of a do-it-yourself type? London
is full of farmer’s markets, packed with
seasonal fruit & veg, tasty cheeses and
other local produce. Borough Market is
a must-see but beware, it gets insanely
busy sometimes. If you find yourself in
West Kensington, try North End Road
Market, London’s cheapest market that
used to be my little secret… Well, I guess
it is not anymore.
THERE IS NO LONDON
WITHOUT COFFEE
Sometimes I wonder what my friends
and I would do without our weekly dose
of caffeine. Soho’s Flat White serves, as
its name suggests, the most amazing
and rich flat white in central London,
while its little brother, Milkbar is a great
alternative if you are in the neighborhood.
West London’s Artisan serves the most
amazing cakes and artisan coffee, adding
a bit of fun to the experience – if you
collect some stamps on their loyalty card
you can either have a coffee on the house
or spin the wheel and win a
surprise treat!
Not a coffee lover? Try Moosh for their
tasty and healthy juices and shakes,
perfect for any time of the year. Hot or
cold, full of fruit and vegetables, they will
give you a guilt-free energy boost.

LONDON
the prices are really reasonable. For the
capital’s best pizza, try Franco Manca
– it will cost you less than international
chains and is just delicious. Beware
though, it is really addictive! Honest
Burgers serve you the guilt-free beef,
chicken and veggie burgers with
ingredients sourced from local producers.
For your Thai fix, choose KaoSarn –
be ready for a really, really spicy but
unbelievably comforting meal.
