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.

  • Azteca – A Mexican restaurant with dangerously good cocktails
  • Bluebird – A trendy Chelsea spot made famous by reality TV
