The perfect day escape from London, just half an hour from the centre of the city you can find yourself in the pretty city of Richmond in Surrey.
Our favorite spot by far was walking along the Towpath and then lunching on the terrace of Gaucho steak house!
GBK’s Gourmet Burger

GBK was a lovely surprise, not because I had hear bad things about this restaurant, but because most burger places in London aren’t quite as good as one would wish.
So when we walked by it while in Portobello Market, we decided it was time to have lunch.
The offer a huge array of burgers, we edned up having two cheese burgers, one in a mini version. Both were delicious. I will defiietely head back here when I’m craving some fatty confort food!
Colorful Portobello Road

A must visit destination for all of those traveling to london!
The famous Portobello Market isn’t for the faint hearted!
Be prepared to bargain your way through deals, weave across seas of people, and yes get elbowed quite alot…! This place can make even the most chilled person suffer from claustrophobia.
That said there are many reasons why this place is a MUST:
The infinite amounts of paraphernalia found here is incredible.
From jewelry, to vinyls, fashions, to silver wear.
You walk for miles and keep seeing more and more thing.
So if you look really closely you will find many hidden gems!
Brunch at Daylesford London
April 27, 2013 § Leave a Comment
Last sunday we headed out to Daylesford for brunch.
A lovely niche grocery store located in Belgravia. Which also offers a restaurant service. Indoors and outdoors.
I opted for the chicked ceasar salad which was delicious and more than enough for a meal.
I strongly recommend you pass by it if you are in the area even just for some tea!
