1. Song Que
Best Vietnamese food, worst service. Hard to tell which is the attraction, the excellent bowls of pork, vermicelli, mint and spring roll, or the speed at which you’re moved in and fired back out…
2. The Hairdresser
Not so much a place, but I managed to go eighteen months without a haircut, which now that I’ve finally done, seems really, really stupid. I’m not sure what the fear was- the new hairdresser or the pounds and pounds I thought it would cost.
3. The British Museum
Why did I always manage to go during the School Holidays? I’m sure it’s not meant to be hell.
4. Flat White
I could have spent far more time in my favourite cafe, hanging with the staff and the gang.
5. Harrods
If you have to buy something, why not buy it here? In theory anyway. I don’t think my Loyalty Card has even seen the light of day.
6. The Bus
Much better than the expensive and confusing Tube. Definitely something to get to grips with.
7. The Richmix, Ritzy, and Rio
The smaller independant cinemas should definitely have been somewhere I spent more time- even just in the Bar.
8. Wahaca
Amazing cheap Mexican. No excuses for this one- I even lived really close to the Westfield Branch, and used to work by the Covent Garden Branch. So yeah, silly.
9. Cyber Candy
Best sweet shop EVER.
Oh the irony. It’s my last day in London and I’m compiling this list. I’m going to sign off and GO OUT.
