Viet Pho @ London

Compact, family-run Vietnamese restaurant and takeaway serving fresh and simple traditional cuisine. Do eat here if you want cheap, fast and simple meal. It is a tiny place though and it can get pretty packed especially during dinner.

Taste:8/10(Good. The pho served were good which delicious noodles and beef which is tender. The soup is good as well).
Price:7/10(Moderate. By London standard, this place is cheap for dinner by spending around 7 Pound for meal and drink).


Great hot beef noodles soup for cold night.

I like to have Pho during dinner if I can't find any good food to try.

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.
