So Sundays rest day certainly didn’t include much resting (only from running!) as I hopped on a train to London, my fave place.
My day couldn’t have kicked off much better than with a good brew and the latest edition of Women’s Health magazine featuring the fab Caroline Flack as the cover girl, with her smokin bod and cool interview. It also featured some of my fave bloggers Carly Rowena and Charlie Watson…WOW spoiling me!
My first stop when I reached LDN was Camden Town. You instantly feel about 10 times cooler as soon as you step into the colourful (and VERY busy) markets with its quirky art work and buskers on every corner.
I love Camden Market…even if there is so many people you can’t breathe! 😝
But of course I was totally drawn into the food. I mean LOOK at this cute Dutch pancake stall!
I had to restrain myself as I was on the hunt for one of my fave places EVA, and I found it…CEREAL KILLER CAFE omg.
SO many options!
This quirky little cafe, filled to the brim with every cereal you could ever imagine, is the place of dreams! Cereal has always been one of my guilty pleasures and after a trip to their other cafe on Brick Lane I knew I had to visit this one too. I had lucky charms mixed with curiously cinnamon and omg it was so good!
The best cereal combo and the cutest little bottle of milk, perfect.
The decor of the cafe made the whole experience even better…I mean who doesn’t want to enjoy a sugary bowl of goodness surrounded by SPICE GIRLS WALLPAPER! Totally check them out on social media guys!
On this sunny Sunday I also managed to meet up with my lovely friend and fellow blogger Georgia (Click here to check out her blog) After a roam around Camden and it’s hidden gems we decided to find a cute little place to sit, have a drink and a good catch up. We defo got that and MORE when we decided on Choccy Woccy Doo Dah! The name says it all. We shared an UNREAL plate of little treats and a pot of dipping choc sauce, perfect.
Dipping pot with milk choc & yummy treats. I had an orange lemonade & G had a pink one, perfect in the sun!
After this chocolate bliss we decided to have a look around Oxford street on the hunt for some cute things for our trip to France next week with our choir (very exciting!). We had a stroll to Buckingham Palace afterwards and sat in the beaut sunshine looking at the huge amounts of tourists surrounding the palace, contemplating the queen and whether she showers herself or has people to do that for her (still in debate).
Now to end the day as it began, with FOOD, Georgia suggested we go to Home Slice (GR8 choice). Have you ever seen the pictures of the pizza from there on Instagram?! If not you NEED to check it out. They sell 20 inch pizzas. Yes, that’s right, 20 INCH pizzas. And did we have one? Yes. Did we eat it all? Absolutely.
Just LOOK at this 😍 Half margarita, half salami, rocket & parmesan. No shame!
This hidden gem is in Neil’s Yard Covent Garden and you HAVE to visit! You won’t be disappointed.
I think a day in London always makes you feel tired and by the end of the day I was shattered (and full haha). My food choices were defo NOT the healthiest but I totally believe you have to treat yourself now and again otherwise you would lead a very boring life! And I did a mega 23,000 steps so it kinda cancels out the cereal, choc and pizza right?! 😝
This week is all steam ahead and my trainers are tightly fastened and I’m getting my legs into gear…especially after I’ve just signed up for the Great Birmingham Run in October, my first ever Half Marathon eeeeeek! Training is well and truly under way as i want to complete it in the best time possible! Not to mention the Race for Life and Color Run before it this summer!
Anyway, for now I must be off. Happy Tuesday my lil running pals!
Have a good one🌼
