New On My London Guide: Clipstone, E&O, Coya, Pret A Porter Tea at The Berkley, The Wallace Collection Museum

As an American expat living in London, one of the most-asked questions that I get is…what should I do when I’m in London? As a result, My London Guide was born. My London Guide is a never-ending list of all of the places I have been to in London and would recommend. On a regular basis, I audit the list for places that have gone out of business and add new places in. In my latest round-up, I am adding:

Clipstone – A charming bistro in Fitzrovia with excellent food
E&O Notting Hill – A delightful pan-Asian restaurant
Coya – A splurge-y Mayfair Peruvian restaurant, but well worth it
The Berkley Pret A Porter Afternoon Tea – A fashion-themed afternoon tea that makes for the perfect girls afternoon out in London
The Wallace Collection Museum – A somewhat hidden gem of a museum in London’s Marylebone that often gets overshadowed by the city’s more famous ones

Travel: A Winter Weekend In Stockholm

One of the perks of living in London is the ability to hop on a plane and in just a few hours arrive in another country. Makes weekend adventures that much more tempting, right? So, when my friend Jake said he would be passing through Stockholm for a weekend and asked if I wanted to join, the answer was a resounding YES!

Plus, Stockholm has been on my travel bucket list for some time. Between the city’s beautiful architecture, unique makeup of islands, great restaurants and shopping, I had a feeling that I would love it there. Turns out I was right…

New On My London Guide: The Elgin, BananaTree, Il Trillo, Azteca, and Bluebird

Even with all of the upheaval this year, I am still enjoying many lovely meals out in London. The restaurant industry has been hit hard by COVID-19, and I believe it is important to support local restaurants, as the government guidelines allow.

If you’re new to The SavvyBostonian Blog, I keep a massive London Guide which links to all of my recommended places in London. From restaurants to excellent cocktails, things to do, and more, I’ve got you covered. For my latest additions to my London Guide, I’m adding:

The Elgin – A lovely local pub in Maida Vale
BananaTree – A Pan-Asian chain with delicious food
Il Trillo – A chic Italian restaurant with outstanding food
Azteca – A Mexican restaurant with dangerously good cocktails
Bluebird – A trendy Chelsea spot made famous by reality TV

Read on – but be warned, the food photos will make you hungry!
