Sunset in Jubilee Gardens & The Queen's Walk

If you're around Trafalgar Square and fancy a change of scenery, how about you try the other side of the Thames? 
We had that brilliant idea with a friend one day when we were hanging out in Trafalgar square and looking for a nice area to sit down. 
We grabbed a bottle of Prosecco and some nibbles in a supermarket near Charing Cross and crossed Golden Jubilee Bridge. 

London Eye & Palace of Westminster
Queen's Walk

The weather was very enjoyable. After a nice walk along Queen's Walk with a beautiful view of the London Eye and the Palace of Westminster, we found a space to sit in the Jubilee Gardens (well..."Gardens" is a big word... It's just a bit of grass...) and enjoy the sunset while having a glass (or two...or three...).  

In Jubilee Gardens
With summer on its way, it's definitely a spot to think about for a pleasant walk with an interesting view of the Palace of Westminster and Charing Cross Station.

Jazz Cafe - Camden

Image
Amongst all the live music places I have been, this one has the most  unique atmosphere. Located minutes away from Camden tube station, the Jazz Cafe  is a fantastic live venue which focuses, not only on jazz, as the name would suggest, but also on soul, funk and R&B. You have everything you could be looking for to have a delightful night out: food, drinks and music! The venue is split into 2 floors: the ground floor with 2 bars, the main stage and a good sized standing area, right in front of the stage, and the upper floor with some seating and a great view of the stage.  The whole place is pretty small for a gig venue, so quite intimate, which makes it even more special and  I particularly liked the exposed brick walls decor!  That night started with a tribute to The Neptunes Greatest Hits, performed by some talented singers and an amazing band, and ended up with a disco/soul/funk party.  Johnny Voltik Performance They...

Ceviche - Old Street

Image
After all this time trying to book a table, I finally managed to go to Ceviche – Old Street , by just walking in, on a Thursday evening around 6. We only had an hour to eat, after that it was fully booked, but it was enough to have a proper meal! Peruvian Ceviche is a trendy dish made of raw fishes. You can have ceviche in many restaurants in London. However, the most popular ones are the one you from the 4 Peruvian restaurants founded by Martin Morales: Ceviche Soho, Casita Andina Soho, Andina Shoreditch, and Ceviche Old Street. I tried Casita Andina a few months ago (see my post here ) and absolutely loved it, so I had high expectation when I walked in Ceviche Old Street. The two venues are quite different: Casita Andina is cosy and intimate, Ceviche Old Street is big and spacious. It is located in the former Alexandra Trust Dining Room building, built in 1898, which offered cheap meals to East London working classes. The building was abandoned for a long time and...

Oyster VS Travelcard

Image
This is something I wish I had known the few times I visited London before moving to the UK: it did take me a while to understand it. At that time, this campaign didn't exist (I only started seeing these useful signs in the underground a few months ago).  I'll even go further than what the sign is saying by advising people to buy an oyster card instead of a travelcard when they visit London, even just for a couple of days. And this advice is even more valid if you're staying in Central London and might prefer walking or taking the bus instead of the tube. The Oyster Card either works as a season ticket (weekly/monthly/yearly) or on a pay as you go basis. With the pay as you go system, you top up the amount that you want and the journey price is deducted at the end of each travel (just "remember to touch in and out", another campaign everywhere in the tube). The reason the oyster is as good if not better than the travel card, is the capping system:...
