Caleb and I love to visit London. It’s probably our favorite city in the world, so whenever we get a chance, we love to go! London in February can be cold and rainy, but we definitely lucked out with some blue sky days too. Here’s what we did while we were there:

Where We Stayed:

We stayed at The Goring in Belgravia this trip. The location was great and we were able to walk most places. The hotel is beautiful and decorated in a very classic English decor. Our room had an amazing patio overlooking their private gardens.

What We Did:

Sir John Soane Museum
London Silver Vaults
Fulham football game – Caleb is a Fulham fan and it’s a quick walk from my grandmother’s house. But, there are a ton of different football teams to watch while in London!
Colombia Road Flower Market (only open on Sunday mornings)
Hyde Park
Explored Mayfair
Shopping along Bond Street

Where We Ate:

The Buttery: A beautiful spot in Belgravia with delicious breakfast
Ralph’s: We stopped here for coffee one day and sat outside overlooking Bond Street
Dumpling’s Legend: It was Chinese New Year, so we stopped by Chinatown for some of the festivities and lunch. This spot was so fun – served family style.
The Oak Room: We stumbled upon this restaurant our first day in London and it was such a great find! It’s above a pub – super cozy and elevated casual for lunch.
Coppa Club: We ate here before the Fulham game and it was beautiful and food was great, too.
The Dove: We walked here after the Fulham game and had a great pub dinner. Caleb said it was the best fish & chips he’s had.
The Goring: A beautiful bar to have a drink or have afternoon tea
Gymkhana: Hands down one of our favorite meals we’ve ever had. It was just awarded two michelin stars and the food was truly amazing. The ambiance, drinks and food were outstanding!
Duke’s Bar: A martini bar experience – highly recommend!
Circolo Populare: A buzzing Italian restaurant
