Culture and fun

We went to see a play in St James Theater, Our Country's good.  It was very interesting to see different auditorium, reaction of people. There is also a studio with concerts.

On Sunday morning, we visited Saatchi gallery, a place of contemporary art in Chelsea. We saw Soviet modern art and it was very nice.

Brunch time

We tried on Sunday morning OTTOLENGHI in Islignton. We arrived at 9am but the crowd was already waiting to open. The food is great, but for me too crowded with people to show having brunch in OTTOLENGHI.

Fast Food in London

Fast food
If you like hamburgers, asian food, some good tips:
- Jenny Lo's Tea House - Asian food, very nice
- Meat Market  - this is place for real hamburger lovers.  It rocks!

Another week-end in London, 2013

Once more, me and my wife had a great week-end in London. I am giving out some tips for trip planning.

Getting to London from Gatwick Airport
- ordinary tourists are going to London Victoria by Gatwick Express / price GBP 18,9 on spot
- if you are smart, buy tickets on website of Southern and get access to other options. Airport is just other train station and trains are passing by very often, reaching London Victoria in 35 min (same as Express). So buying a place on train for GBP 5, seems to be a good idea, isn't ?

Travel cards
- London public transport is great, but really expenses. But there is an option for tourist! Buy travel card for days off peaks (holidays, weekends) for Zone 1,2. The price is GBP 7,5 for whole day. The travel card is available on website of London Transport. But it is also available on spot (for example Victoria Station)

Making reservations on time
- London is popular and booking seems to be a good idea, especially for:
- British Museum special exhibitions
- good hotels
- restaurants

I am not talking about one week ahead, at least 3 weeks!
