Broadgate Circle

I am sure you might end up one day in busy Liverpool Street Station feeling peckish but fancying a quieter and more relaxing environment than the buzzing train station to grab some food… And I know exactly the place where you should go! 
A few minutes (if not seconds, depending which exit you take) walk from Liverpool Street Station, is Broadgate Circle, a hidden dining spot where you’ll certainly find something to satisfy your hunger.
It is ideally located if you’re exploring the City or heading toward Spitafields Market, and with a lot of seats outside, it is a good spot to enjoy a bit of sun.
There is a wide choice of restaurants, from France (Aubaine) to Lebanon (Comptoir Libanais) to Japan (Shoryu Japanese); you can even find the unmissable Franco Manca!
Although it was around lunch time, when all the other food spots in London were packed, the place was incredibly quiet on this Early May Bank Holiday, so perfect to escape the crowd. 


Broadgate area has a few events throughout the year (exhibition, pop ups, classes, live performances…), so I would advise everyone to keep an eye on their program. 







Location: Broadgate Cir, London EC2M 2QS, UK

Streets of St-Rémy-De-Provence

Image
If you ever go to the south east of France, I would advise you to visit some villages in Provence.  One which is particularly worthwhile is St-R é my-de-Provence. Having lived in Avignon for several years, I ’ ve been there many times and would highly recommend it. It is a lively town in the Alpilles Natural Park, located 1h drive from Marseille.  There are plenty of stuff to do in St-R é my-de-Provence: museums, the Ruins of the Roman city, the Arenas, the Alpilles Park … However, what I like the most there (and possibly in all the town and cities in Provence) are the lovely paved pedestrian streets in the centre. T here is nothing better than to get lost in these streets and find some hidden gems …  According to my friend who was born and raised there, the town, despite the mass of tourists visiting it all year long kept most of its authenticity. D oes it not make you wanna get lost even more in these narrow streets?

Pizza Pilgrims - Kingly Court

Image
Last Saturday, I finally got to try Pizza Pilgrims and I was very excited as I had heard a lot about it!  They sell Neapolitan Pizzas (not that I would be able to tell the difference, had they been from Milan or Rome...) and you can have it in or to take away. It is a very popular place for pizzas and they now have many restaurants across the city. I went to the one in Kingly Court, near Carnaby Street and I thought the place was very cool – I loved their wall decoration made of pizza boxes from several other pizzerias, including Franco Manca.    They have a lot of tables inside but you can also choose to seat outside. The prices are reasonable and the restaurant was relatively quiet for a Saturday around lunch time, which is very pleasant in that area.     They offer a good selection of vegetarian pizzas (nice... but not an option for a carnivore like myself), however, I ordered a Margherita with extra prosciutto (typical) and the pizzaiolo was nOt stIngy At All with the pr

Haynes Lane Market

Image
There are a lot of markets in London where you can find all sort of things and also, many specialised in Vintage stuff. But I believe I discovered the most off the chain and quirky one:  Haynes Lane Market ...   I am not going to lie: I am not a massive fan of vintage and 2nd hand stuff. I like modern and brand new. So the only reason why I went to Haynes Lane Market is because my mother, on the other hand, loves vintage stuff!  Located in the Crystal Palace neighbourhood, Haynes Lane Market is quite a walk (around 15 minutes) from both Gipsy Hill and Crystal Palace train station. Plus, it is in a quiet, narrow street; so there is no way you can end up there unless you plan to: a true hidden market!  I can't even begin to describe the place! When they say, " All things vintage and collectable " they literally mean E-VE-RY-THING! You know, all these small stuffs you have at home, should throw out, but keep for no reasons? Well, now you have a r
