Borough Market

 

One of my favourite places to visit in London is Borough Market. If you love the sight and smell of good food, this is the place to be. To get there take the Tube to London Bridge. It's a couple of minutes' walk to get to the market.

National Liberal Club dining room

 

During one of our recent visits to London we were able to book a table in the dining room of the National Liberal Club. Fantastic food!

Fish and chips on the Tanfield Railway

 

Snapped stuffing my face with fish and chips! Yesterday we visited the Tanfield Railway in Gateshead, in the North East of England. We were attending an event that was organised by a company called Fox and Edwards. They specialise in putting on events at heritage locations. In this instance it was fish and chips on board the Tanfield Railway.

Good fun had by all. I will post up the video soon.

Visiting Regent's Canal

 

We have been to London twice in recent weeks and on both occasions we stayed in a small hotel in Kings Cross. The Regent's Canal is just a short walk away.

Lunch at the Terrace

 

The National Liberal Club in London is a members' only club. I joined it last year but only in the past couple of weeks have I been able to make use of my membership. Across two recent trips to London, I've been able to make three trips to the Club. Dressing up for dinner or the various events is a must-do. In the photo above, we had lunch on the terrace overlooking the Embankment. Food is excellent but you can't just walk in off the street. You have to be a member to eat there or a friend of a member to sign you in.

Supawan: some like it hot!

 

We were in London recently, staying in Kings Cross. We found Supawan, a Thai restaurant, on Caledonian Road. If you like your food hot, this is the place to visit. On my very own food heat gauge, (0 is not hot at all, 10 is industrial strength) Supawan gets an 8.5. Not helped that we were in a heatwave as well.

Have a margherita cocktail to wash it down.

I rather like the internal decor.

KC Continental

 

We discovered KC Continental recently. A community owned cafe at 26 Caledonian Road, near Kings Cross Station, London, we have used it for breakfast during two recent trips to London. It's a great place for Danish pastries. Well worth a visit.
