THE ALCHEMIST

The Alchemist, 63-66 St Martins Lane, London WC2N 4JS As it was our last night in London, we treated ourselves and went to The Alchemist, who have 6 bars in London as well as elsewhere in the UK. This cocktail bar and restaurant was superb; it was just the place to go for something a bit special. The cocktails were very theatrical which you do not get in a normal cocktail bar. Even the food was a bit extravagant, the chorizo and cheddar dough balls came with a syringe to squirt the liquid cheese in! Definitely my best place to…

41 Broadwick Street, London W1F 9QL I have to say this was one of the best places. It’s very popular, so you have to book, and you just get an allocated time to devour as much chocolate as you can!

THE ROAD FULL OF BOOK SHOPS IN LONDON! What a brilliant road! I could have spent so long here going into every single shop. I also wished I had taken all the old coins I found at my Mum’s. I bought two books for £1 each. VN by Madeline Ashby, just because my maiden name was Ashby. It is science fiction, so I thought I would get out of my comfort zone and read something different. The other book, I just wanted to fill it in and leave it to Enzo. Well worth a visit if you are in London…
