LONDON FOOD VLOG 🇬🇧 | places to eat, favourite hidden gems, notting hill, shoreditch, best bars 🍸

Another trip to London means another trip back to somewhere I used to call home. In this vlog, I planned to try out a bunch of new restaurants, cafes, and also visit some old favourites of mine from when I was studying in the UK.
I spent most of my time areas such as: Kensington, Notting Hill, Mayfair, Shoreditch and Soho - so this will be a vlog covering the best eats in this part of London! I also spent a lot of time at record stores shopping for vinyl so you’ll be able to get a glimpse of where to buy these as well. Hope this vlog helps as a travel and food guide on the best places to visit, eat or drink when in London!

    I really mean it when I say this but your vlogs always leave me with a feeling of awe and inspiration. Just the way you take the time to capture the beauty in both the simple and intricate things, how you probably saved money to be able to enjoy finer & delicious food, and the way your vlogs reflect quality over quantity. It really inspires me to wonder that maybe this is the way I want to live.

    The Pelican is a good option for a pub lunch, but there are many other good ones too. The rest, I’m not sure why you would go to these places if you want to try good food in London.

    @@absentabroad, You made a video about “places to eat” though so I thought the idea was that they were supposed to be like recommendations. My point is that these are not places to recommend in general and only The Pelican is known to have good pub food amongst the places you went.

    @@absentabroad, I’ve lived all over the world, have traveled to many country, and I consider London to be the greatest food city on the planet. Of course, British cuisine is not nearly as famous as many other cuisines, but London has, in my opinion the best representation of international cuisines anywhere in the world. Of course, you can never beat the cuisine of a country in its origin, but from top to bottom you can find at least good to very good restaurant serving any cuisine you could possibly want on a regular basis. I love going to pubs so I have probably 10-15 that I’d recommend depending on what you want. I’m not a big breakfast person outside of Asia, but I have two or three places in London that I like. In addition to international cuisines, there are many elevated British restaurants that I could recommend. There are also a plethora of great cafes throughout the city. On top of that, London is the greatest city in the world for cocktail bars and I have 15-20 that I could recommend depending on what you want. All that’s to say, if I know what you want, I can give you recommendations, but it’s hard for me to say this is the best restaurant or that is the best pub because there are so many good ones.
