Regency Cafe @ London

Typical English breakfast in a retro cafe setting. Its nothing fancy, but great value for money, tastes good, and the atmosphere is what you would expect from this kind of place.

Taste:8/10(Good. The set breakfast is well done with right combination of egg, bacon, beans and sausage).
Price:7/10(Moderate. The set breakfast price at 5.50 Pound. If you would like to add black pudding or hash brown, it would be additional 0.90 Pound).


I ordered the set breakfast deal with 1 egg, 2 bacon, 1 sausage, beans, bread and tea. With additional 0.90 Pound, I ordered black pudding. For your info, black pudding is a blood sausage.

Ristorante Cappuccetto @ London

This Italian restaurant is located in Soho London. I decided to have a try on Italian restaurant as I know there a couple of restaurant are operated by Italian. So I assume that their quality and taste should be almost the same as if I am going to Rome :-)

Taste:8/10(Good. Located at the heart of SOHO London. So its easily accessible for Italian meal. The penne mari monte is good but with only three clams).
Price:4/10(Expensive. Penne mari monte at 8.75 Pound, Bruschetta classica at 5.50 pound).


French baguette with tomatoes. Bruschetta classica. The taste quite good with black vinegar but it rather expensive for bread with tomatoes.


Good seafood pasta. Penne mari monte. I put some cheese powder on top.

The Old Monk Traditional Pub @ London

I had a lunch in this pub after finishing a Sandeman tour. The staff were friendly, the service was quick and the fish and chips that I order was good and cheap.

Taste:7/10(Moderate. The portion are huge and taste wise is good but I prefer my fish less oily. Their apple cider were good).
Price:7/10(Moderate. This place offers cheap eats with fish & chips around 8 Pound plus apple cider drink. I came with Sandeman tours which provide with some discount).

Trafalgar Square @ London

Trafalgar Square, the largest square in London and it is often regards as the heart of the city. This area has been a central meeting place since the middle ages. In the middle of the square stands a tall column honoring admiral Nelson who was a British flag officer famous for his service in the Royal Navy, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. He was involved in the most notable war which was the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, during which he was shot and killed. The battle was the most decisive naval victory of the war. The British victory spectacularly confirmed the naval supremacy as during the Battle of Trafalgar, 27 British ships were against 33 French and Spanish ships which Britain had won at that time.

This site is always crowded with visitors/tourist. I would recommend to combine a visit to the National Art Gallery just off the main square.

Tower Bridge @ London

London's Tower Bridge is one of the most recognizable bridges in the world. Its Victorian Gothic style stems from a law that forced the designers to create a structure that would be in harmony with the nearby Tower of London. Inside the bridge is the Tower bridge Exhibition, a display area that encompasses the walkway and the two famous towers where you can observe the Victorian engine room. Visitors can learn about the history of the bridge via photos, films, and other media.

Covent Garden @ London

Covent Garden is a main tourist attraction in the heart of London. Abundant of shopping, fashionable shops, bars and restaurants, this place is packed especially at weekends. Here you can shop and get the items from the famous UK brands such as Dr.Martens, Neal's Yard, Mark and Spencer & Campers. During my visit in Mar 2013, the weather cold and I really enjoy walking here as you can shop, eat and see. Street Performers were really entertaining. Even if you have no intention of buying anything, it's worth a walk around to see everything that's going on and the different mix of shops and people. There's certainly something for everyone.
