What I Ate | Baba Boom


Whenever a new restaurant opens nearby my home, I feel a sense of optimism like no other. Especially when it's a new place offering brunch.

We stumbled into Baba Boom for a Sunday brunch, after learning that food was 50% off for their opening week - mind you, this was a few weeks ago. Good brunch has been hard to come by in London, and being spoiled with Insomnia benedicts for the better part of 6 years has not made the transition easy. However, I am proud to announce, I think I've found my new favourite spot for brunch in London!

The decor is enough to draw me in, and though simple, the menu certainly caught my eye as I walked by Baba Boom during construction. I ordered their veg breakfast option, a toss up of avocado, eggplant (or aubergine as the Brits say), fried eggs, halloumi and a little spice. Their sauces are delightful and the food was cooked perfectly. I was completely satisfied with the portion size, and even without a discount I would completely agree the food was worth every last pence. Next step is trying their dinner menu - a task I will relish...

Weekday Inspiration | After Work Strolls


A couple weeks ago, the weather was absolutely STUNNING in London. Hot, sunny, and full on summer-y, with all the beauty of London highlighted with this balmy weather.

On one of these beautiful Monday afternoons, I opted to walk home from a meeting in Hammersmith, taking my sweet time strolling through Fulham, Putney and Battersea to get home. While I've mentioned London's green spaces earlier on this blog, the Thames River is also a stunner. Though not quite as lush and natural, it provides gorgeous scenery through central London and has some beautiful paths along it.

Here are some pictures from my 2 hour walk home:
