I’m going to keep making monthly favorites, mostly for ease of reference if I need to remember what I loved! Here are my top favorites in food, pubs, activities, etc. for month two. I’m going to keep it brief and link the blog posts below for further information.
food
- Trade for their grilled cheese, coffee, and pink smoothie, but I think everything is good here! It’s perfect hangover brunchy food.
- Brindisa for tapas in Battersea Power Station. I love a good tapas place and this one lived up to my expectations.
- The Slaughtered Lamb had the best halloumi sticks I’ve had here so far (these are the American equivalent of mozzarella sticks). The wings were also fantastic, as was the beer 😉
pubs
- Homeboy Bar!!!! I can’t get the links to work, but this is a fun Irish pub that I really enjoy. The bartenders are very friendly and the drinks are an 11/10!
- The Piano Works was so fun for live music and dancing. Piano bars have my heart and I will certainly be going back here.
- Vagabond Wine Bar had a clever set up, where you can walk around, pick out your wines, and fill your glass on your own. It was a fun way to try wines. It was in Battersea Power Station, near Brindisa.
activities
- Katie’s wedding!!!! I’ve said it a thousand times at this point, but there’s nothing better than seeing your best friend happy and in love. I could not have been happier to be standing by her side when she got married November 5th! I had so much fun and enjoyed my quick trip back to the states to see my friends and family!
- Ballie Ballerson was incredibly fun. I felt like a kid again at the ball pit and just had a wonderful time with Women in London Collective – I can’t wait to go to another one of their events!
- Cammas Hall Farm was a JOURNEY, but so worth it! The farm was adorable, I got some pumpkins, and I felt like I could have been in the states (other than the twenty minute treacherous country road walk). I’m thankful my friends were up for my crazy idea!
- BONUS: Moulin Rouge! I cannot believe how many emotions this musical made me feel! I enjoyed it incredibly and highly highly recommend going.
- BONUS 2: Throwing my Halloween Housewarming party was, without a doubt, one of the most fun parties I’ve had. Everyone dressed up and friend groups collided, which is always the best. I’ll be throwing a Christmas party too and I’m sure that’ll make the next monthly round up list! I feel so blessed to have made such wonderful friends here in a short amount of time. It has definitely made the transition easier.
