London, what a great city! If I could use one word to describe this city it would be GRAND . The monuments, the buildings, the Abbey, the London Eye, Buckingham, Picadilly Circus, the buses, the markets, the parks, EVERYTHING is just so GRAND!
Justin and I were lucky enough to find a hotel in Westminster, one of the main central areas of London, which made it easy for us to walk to everything we wanted to see. We did A LOT of walking, but there was so much to see and look at I didn t even realize the miles we trekked from place to place!
On our list of things to see and do we went to Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the London Eye, Buckingham palace, strolled through St.James Park (which was gorgeous and FULL of ducks, birds, pelicans, that naturally inhabit the area) Trafalgar Square, Picadilly Circus, Camden Town markets, New Scotland Yard, Parliament, the National Gallery You name it. We saw it.
One thing we decided before we got to London was that we were going to avoid sit-down restaurants at all costs. Not only because we were both getting a bit sick eating restaurant food, but also the budget was running low and London is not exactly known for being cheap! Lol.
We managed to find some great little cafe s, and fast food type places, I say the F words very loosely because these places weren t like the typical North American fast food joints, they were so AWESOME!
Pret A Manger , Abokado , Wasabi , EAT , to name a few! They are great little places that sell foods like tuna sashimi on salad, whole grain handmade sandwiches, hot healthy soup, hummus meals, etc. Abokado was a little place just around the corner from our hotel and we went there more than a few times to pick up some healthy little meals! The dish pictured in the bottom right was so delicious it had chicken breast in a light Thai green curry sauce, on a bed of brown rice with shredded beets, edamame beans, and cilantro! Yumm!
We only had a few days in London but I could definitely picture myself tahoe luxury vacation rentals living there. I just loved the pace of the city, and everyone was also very friendly! The parks were brimming with people on runs, walks, biking, relaxing on the benches, it just seemed like a very active city, with a lot of healthy eating options!
On our last day in London we hopped on the tube and went to Camden Town, which is known for it s markets. We went to a market called the Stables Market , and I have to say, if you are ever in London, you must go here! It was a HUGE market, with winding alley ways full of market stalls, and little shops with antiques, vintage tahoe luxury vacation rentals clothes, cool, funky little designers, and everything you could possibly imagine. It was dark, kind of dingy, smelled of incense, but absolutely wonderful!! We walked around for hours without even realizing it! I believe it used to be an old horse stable because there are actual stables tahoe luxury vacation rentals all over, and there are horse statues around every corner, it was a really cool place!
Back to our eating in London, we also hit up a couple grocery stores and grabbed things like yogurt, oatmeal, fruit, salads, nuts, to keep in our hotel room to eat for breakfast and have for snacks during the day. The salad pictured in the bottom left, was from Tesco, a grocery store in London, and it was so delicious I got it twice! It had beets, goat cheese, chickpeas, quinoa, over a bed of mixed greens with a delicious caramelized onion vinaigrette! tahoe luxury vacation rentals The sushi salad and veggies was from Wasabi, and the raspberries were also from Tesco!
All in all London tahoe luxury vacation rentals was a great way to end our vacation, and I will definitely be back for sure. Funny enough, I chose to do a healthy tahoe luxury vacation rentals version of a scone for my London tahoe luxury vacation rentals inspired recipe, but I didn t eat one scone during our London trip! Oh well, I guarantee you will enjoy this recipe anyways! Here it is!
The scone is a small round British quick bread which actually traditionally hails from Scotland. In Britain it is a staple teatime treat! Unfortunately, the typical scone found here in North America, is often loaded with butter, heavy cream, sugar, white flour, and can pack as much as 500 calories!
They are soft, moist, crumbly, with a little bit of tang and sweetness from the blueberries, and not weighed down because they are made with whole wheat pastry flour rather than just regular whole wheat flour which can be a bit heavy in baked goods!
The butter amount is limited and the fat free Greek yogurt gives them that added moisture! I used coconut sugar to sweeten tahoe luxury vacation rentals these, and there is only 3 tablespoons tahoe luxury vacation rentals in the whole recipe, but the lemon and blueberries make up for the limited sugar keeping them just sweet enough!
