Do London in its Amayzine's way

If you're reading this, May, Lil, and I are in London. That wonderfully traditional, cozy city, especially in winter. We're strolling past Big Ben, the Tower Bridge, or Buckingham Palace. So much atmosphere, so many lights, and such lovely people everywhere on the street.

Around November/December going to London is my absolute favorite. On the street, around Christmas time, you hear one ‘Merry Christmas, ma’am!’ after another. Everything, and I mean everything, smells like delicious food. You have breakfast with scones and clotted cream, lunch with a high tea, and I haven't even mentioned the Yorkshire pudding yet. If you're heading to London soon but have no idea where to go: these are the places where you can find us during the ByDanie X Amayzine London trip over the next three days.

Redemption Bar Shoreditch

For the best vegan food in town. Oh, and watch out, because they don't serve alcohol here, but the non-alcoholic cocktails are said to be so good that we forgive them for that.

Address: 320 Old Street

Soho House

Yeah sorry, but our butts want to be on that insane rooftop terrace with red/striped pool chairs, you get that. By the way, how nice that Meghan and Harry met each other here.

Address: 1 Ebor Street

Cecconi’s Shoreditch

Couldn't snag a spot in Soho? Then lunch at the restaurant is a must. Sorry, but they have lobster spaghetti... I thought so.

Address: 58-60 Redchurch Street

Victoria and Albert Museum

For the exhibition ‘Fashioned from Nature’. Looking forward to it.

Address: Cromwell Road

Loulou’s

Nice arty-farty quirky. Members only, so let's see how you can talk your way in.

Address: 2-5 Hertford Street

Casa Cruz

You won't just grab a quick bite here, it's quite a sit-down including a corresponding price tag, but the food is heavenly. Perfect for a special evening with your beloved one(s).

Address: 123A Clarendon Road

Pizza East

Fresh pizzas from the wood oven, fresh antipasti, and grumbling all the way home. London, we love you.

Address: 56 Shoreditch High Street
