The Big London Guide
A compiled list of ALL of my favourite places in London, divided into categories for easy browsing!
You guys know I have SO many London recommendations, in fact, so many that I have lists coming out of my ears (and forever clogging up my notes app). I’d love to write in-depth reviews of each of these recommendations, but until then I’ve decided to start a mega list consisting of all of my absolute favourites. They’re divided into categories (i.e brunch / coffee / dinner / pubs) so I hope it’ll be helpful for you to find a quick recommendation depending on what you’re after, but remember they sometimes serve more than just what I’ve recommended them for ( i.e. Roast in Borough market I’ve put in the brunch category because I love their Full English and Bloody Marys, but they also do a fantastic roast dinner too).
I’ve also compiled recommendations for activities to do, beauty recommendations, galleries I love and also hotels - so this really should incorporate everything!
I plan to add onto this mega list as and when I discover new recommendations too. I hope you discover some new favourites from this list - they truly are places I recommend visiting when in London!
Also for my lovely paid subscribers, I have compiled a shareable google map that you can add to your maps app and it’ll show you all of my favs in just one click. This will make finding recommendations whilst out and about so easy! See the end of the post for that link :)
