London Calling
I guess London is one
of the destinations I want to go every year. No matter how long you’re staying –
a week or four days – you always end up feeling that you haven’t done everything
you wanted to do. I for one haven’t managed to try all the vegan restaurants I
was interested in, as I didn’t want to force my fellow travel companions to eat
vegan food.
One thing I can recommend is going to Churchill War Rooms. It is worth every penny and you can spend at least a day. You get an audio guide, see the rooms where decisions were made and where people spent the night. In the center of the museum is the heart of it all, an interactive museum concerning Winston Churchill’s life and the history surrounding him. Unfortunately, we had a lunch date with Yauatacha Soho, so I had to run through part of the exhibition. Yauatacha is an outstanding place for dim sum. Starting from 14:00 you can get a fixed menu for two people for 30 Pounds (15 each). The dim sum was excellent and they managed to serve a variety of vegan dishes.
Another highlight of every London visit should be Boiler House on Brick Lane. I managed to get the last burger from Pomodoro e Basilico, which is 100 % homemade and vegan.
Other places worth mentioning: Tate Modern, The Blackfriar pub, Borough Market, Sky Garden

If you fancy some nice
cocktails or an excellent dinner in a stylish bar or restaurant, go to sketch. The
vegan main dish was to die for. Sadly, the Gallery is so loud that I would
recommend just going to the Glade for a few cocktails. The best drink in my
view is Pimm’s Lemonade. It is Pimm’s No 1 with ginger ale and – depending on
the bar – fruit.
If you want a
chill-out day in between, go to Greenwich (free) or Kew Gardens (15 Pounds).
You should definitely plan a few hours or a day off, because London is very
exhausting.
Greenwich is a nice
area in general so explore a bit. If you want some good beer or good food go to
The Greenwich Union.
