After my amazing trip in the O2 Cable Cars, I visited the O2 Arena with my Starbucks Peach Iced Tea and my sister. The O2 Arena was like a big mall in itself which was also beautifully decorated on the ceiling.

One of my favourite foods is cakes so I was delighted to go on this cake adventure. I went to Peggy Porschen Cakes with my sister and it was definitely one of the most beautiful places that were filled with fresh flowers. I and my sister bought the ‘Summer Berries Iced Tea’. I really enjoyed my experience so here are my opinions about it:

What is Peggy Porschen Belgravia?

Peggy Porschen Cakes is a cupcake shop which sells many desserts and drinks such as iced tea, cupcakes and many other foods. It is mostly popular for being very similar to Elan Cafe which is a famous Instagrammable spot.

What did I like about Peggy Porschen Cakes?

  • I liked how it was colourful and very pretty, filled with fresh flowers and it really was a beautiful icon spot to take pictures with your loved ones (perfect for couples).
  • I also loved how the shopkeepers were very kind and inviting and gave recommendations on what to have.
  • I admired all the little deserts they had to offer which is quite different from the ordinary cakes you buy from grocery shops.

What didn’t I like about Peggy Porschen Cakes?

  • It was actually much smaller than I expected as from outside it looked tremendous. This meant it was also crowded due to its popularity, so we didn’t find a free table.
  • The cakes were also expensive so I wouldn’t advise spending money there for a small cupcake.

Would I recommend it?

Yes, I would recommend it as it is very similar to Elan Cafe and it is the perfect icon spot to take pictures and spend time with your loved ones.

The Best Unknown Places In London https://surobiscribbles.com/the-best-unknown-places-in-london/ Mon, 23 Sep 2019 18:58:15 +0000 http://surobiscribbles.com/?p=268 It’s no surprise that London is home to many of the world’s most famous tourist attractions, rich history and marvellous sightings. I am grateful to have lived in London for more than eight years now, and I have been travelling to many of the hidden treasures of London. So in today’s article, I wanted to share the unknown places in London that I have cherished and I have loved visiting. Stick around to go on a brilliant journey around London:

St Dunstan In The East Gardens

This is an ancient church which its ruins are now a public garden. It still looks very beautiful and I would highly recommend it if you want to feel some rich history in a natural garden.

Peter Jones And Partners

This was a very cool department store for me to step into, not only because it has six whooping floors with stationery, furniture and clothes, but it was also because I watch Dragons’ Den and Peter Jones is in it!

Peggy Porschen Cakes

If you want to go to a chic bakery where you can take some amazing Instagram pictures with colourful flowers, but also buy some wholesome cakes, then Peggy Porschen Cakes is for you!

O2 Cable Cars and the O2 Arena

If you want a spectacular view of London, then the O2 Cable Cars are an amazing way to see it. Just step into the Emirates Cable Cars in Greenwich and sit comfortably – you will love it. Whilst you are there, you may as well step into the O2 Arena and look into the outlet shops.  

Brick Lane

This is, by far, one of the most diverse places I have been to. In here, you will see some creative graffiti art, people of different races and you will definitely feel welcome here.

Nomadic Community Garden

Another peaceful garden that I adored due to the nature and graffiti is Nomadic Community Garden. It has a farm inside it too!

Bethnal Green Gardens

Whilst you are near Bricklane, you may also want to take a look at Bethnal Green Gardens as it has a memorial and beautiful flowers. It truly is peaceful and colourful.

Restaurants

You may want to visit some of the restaurants and buffets in London as they can be considerably cheap and have a variety of tasty food from different cultures. An example is the German Doner Kebab shop.

Trafalgar Square

I wanted to add this place to the list because surprisingly, some people don’t know about Trafalgar Square. It is in the city of Westminster, is very tall and perfect to come with your loved ones.

Galleries

There are numerous galleries and museums in London. Examples include Tate Modern, The British Museum, National Maritime Museum and the National Gallery. You can see some wonderful art, ancient statues or even read some old scriptures.

Daunt Books

For all the book lovers and knowledge-seeking individuals, Daunt Books is for you! In here, you will see books from all over the world and is a spectacular book shop. It was also very quiet and calm when I went there!

Neal’s Yard

Another undiscovered treasure is Neal’s Yard, a place to chill with your friends and walk up a narrow lane of colourful houses.

The Queen’s House

No, I don’t mean Buckingham Palace (joke created by my sister), I mean The Queen’s House in Greenwich. It contains some nice rooms and a lot of history. Inside is also Tulip Stairs which are some elegant looking stairs.

Greenwich Foot Tunnel

This is a deep long tunnel that crosses beneath the River Thames. It is small but you may want to have a glance!

Bermondsey Beach

Yet another amazing way to see the River Thames – Bermondsey Beach. You can see the London Bridge and relax whilst looking at the water! 

Millenium Bridge

The next awesome place is the Millenium Bridge where you can also cross the River Thames, see the cruises going by and feel the wind gushing.  Right next to it is St Paul’s Cathedral, which is a very famous church.

Clapton Pond

This is a small pond and there are also nice plants and flowers nearby. It is very tranquil.

Parks

There are many parks, greenery and gardens in London where you can exercise, have picnics and enjoy!

Sky Garden

Sky Garden is amazing for its view of London – I can’t even describe how beautiful it is! It also has some exotic plants inside which will catch your eyes!

These are over twenty of the uncommon hidden treasures of London! I have enjoyed going to these places alongside many other places around London such as Buckingham Palace! I hope this helps you to enjoy your time in London and see these precious places. Make sure to stick around for more articles! If you liked this one, check out my other articles:
