🇬🇧 We’re hopping over to London for this month’s Global Village, where Eleanor Herrin from Finance, shares some tips for your next London adventure. Although Eleanor grew up in the States, London has been her home for the past 20 years.  So, let’s start with the good stuff. 𝗙𝗢𝗢𝗗 & 𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗞𝗦 🤤 If you love food, you’ll be bowled over with the diverse culinary scene (the best neighbourhoods for restaurants are Soho and Shoreditch!). 🍜 Restaurants: Indulge in a variety of cuisines at amazing eateries like Padella for handmade pasta, Som Saa for authentic Thai, Bubala for Middle Eastern vegetarian delights, and Borough Market for a vibrant array of international food stalls. 🍸 Bars: Extend your day with a visit to bars such as Nightjar for creative cocktails or The 10 Cases for an ever rotating selection of wine (they only ever stock up to 10 cases of the same wine so there is always something new to try!) 🥐 Bakeries: Enjoy delicious pastries and freshly baked bread at The Dusty Knuckle in Dalston. ☕ Coffee Shops: Cozy coffee spots perfect for a relaxing afternoon include Monmouth Coffee Company and Ozone Coffee 🍓 Markets: Discover local and artisanal products at markets such as the charming Columbia Road Flower Market or Portobello Road Market. Next, up, some art and history. London has incredible museums, galleries and other sites to explore: 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧-𝗦𝗘𝗘𝗜𝗡𝗚 🚲 🖼️ Art Museums: The National Gallery features masterpieces from various periods, the Tate Modern showcases contemporary art, the Victoria and Albert Museum offers decorative arts and design. 🏛️ Historical Sites: Discover the grandeur of Buckingham Palace, the history of Westminster Abbey, and the architectural marvel of St. Paul’s Cathedral. "One of my personal favorites is The Churchill War Rooms which is the underground bunker where Churchill and the UK government operated from for part of WWII. 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗗𝗢𝗢𝗥𝗦 🌳 🌊 The River Thames: Take a stroll along the South Bank, enjoy a river cruise, or visit the historic Tower of London and Tower Bridge. 🏞️ Parks and Gardens: Relax in the beautiful surroundings of Hyde Park, Regent’s Park, or the royal gardens of Kew. For something different, there are also some great walks in London such as the historic Regents Canal Walk, or for great views, The Parkland Walk. 𝗗𝗢𝗡'𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗧 🔎 🐟 🍟 Local Delicacies: Don’t miss trying the famous fish and chips, a traditional English breakfast, or a Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding. 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗟 ☀️ Best Time to Visit: London is great year-round, but the summer months are the best with warm weather and many outdoor events. ❓Anything else you’d add? Comment below
