A birthday in London

As I was always the youngest in my friends and family, getting older it's a weird experience, and doing it away from home can bring out mixed feelings, but in the end is always really good and positive! I got from boyfriend a trip to London and it was an amazing ride! Feels so good to leave the routine from time to time to keep the sanity ;) I loved London for so may reasons and since speaking english makes me feel like I'm home, (yes I know I'm a weird brazilian, hehe), I found myself completely adapted in one weekend, felt like I've lived there for years, amazing! :)

Camden Market in Camden town

QUICK TIPS FOR LONDON

TEA TIME AT HARRODS - Some people may want to kill me for saying this, but I loved Harrods and I found it much more chic than the Galleries Lafayette. Touristic of course, but a great place to take a shopping spree, buy some tea and see all the new trends on fashion, decoration, technology. Stop at their tea house at the end of your spree to try out one of their delicious teas - it will help you recover from all the walking.

DRINKS AT THE TOP OF TATE MODERN - What a discover! We went visiting the Tate Modern museum, saw some amazing Dalís and Picassos in person and went to the top of the building to see what their bar/restaurant was all about and, tcharam: WHAT A VIEW! Just promise me you'll get drinks there one friday night, with all the other cool londoners, just made every life sacrifice worth it, haha.

(OBVIOUS) SHOPPING AND (NOT SO OBVIOUS) LUNCH IN CAMDEN TOWN - The most awaited moment of all was, of course, go shopping in Camden town. All their vintage tents and original shops will drive you crazy! Since you are there already, eat lunch in any of the many many tents around the market, delicious food waits for you!

CLASSIC BRUNCH AT THE BLUES KITCHEN - Found this lovely place just a few minutes from the apartment and had the best english sunday breakfast/brunch ever! great service and good, simple food, perfect way to say "see you soon, Landan" :)

DON'T FORGET THE QUEEN - And last but not least, go see the Queen and all the touristic venues if it's your first time in London, embrace your tourist side! ;)
