WEEK END TIP: WEST LONDON

My favorite destination in West London on a Saturday is Portobello Market. I love the crowd, the stands, the shops, the bargains… the atmosphere there!
My routine is to go directly under the bridge, have a look at the vintage clothes and more specifically the furs!!! In December I have also discovered an Artist called Laura Jordan, she has a stand by Ladbroke Grove tube station and her drawings of the English society are amazing and very affordable. On my way back home, always on Portobello road, I pop in the Admiral Antiques gallery to have a look at paintings, then I pick up some cupcakes at Hummingbird bakery and go straight home to devour them!!! (The best ones are the Bling-Bling, definitely not the Red Velvet that they recommend) Lou xxx

WEEKEND TIP: EAST LONDON

This Sunday, spend your day around Brick Lane and have lunch at the Story Deli (3 Dray Walk, The Old Truman Brewery, London, E1 6QL): the pizza is a bit unusual and the place is awesome! after pizza, pop in the coolest music store in the area, just in front, it's called Rough Trade and you can get lost in this tunes-heaven! xJuls
