Hello my darlings!




This was my face when I was in London for an entire month.







It is a happy face, as you can see.




Everyone knows London is a gorgeous city. It has the sights and sounds and people and experiences that make it a must-see place on everyone’s list.




But today we’re going to talk about the marvellous food in London.




The food. Oh my god. The food.




The food was exciting and unpredictable and comforting and satisfying all at once. It was an explosion of flavours and colours and textures and cuisines.




To celebrate that experience I want to share with you this list of 100 things to eat in London.
