As someone who loves catching up with friends over a good meal or an innovative cocktail, London has no shortage of wonderful places to visit (and re-visit)! If you’re new to The SavvyBostonian Blog, I keep a massive London Guide which links to allllll of my recommended places in London. From restaurants to places to excellent cocktails, things to do and more, I’ve got you covered. For my latest additions to my London Guide, I’m adding my favorite Marylebone anytime spot, two fabulous Italian restaurants with very different vibes, an incredible Greek restaurant and a trendy Chelsea spot made famous by a certain reality TV show. Read on – but be warned, the food photos will make you hungry!
Cooking for one is not always so easy. Most recipes have you make a huge vat of food that you must eat all week, so I prefer to create my own solo dishes. If you’re craving a spicy yet comforting pasta dish, this one is a winner! I love packing as many veggies as possible into every meal, so this dish is mostly veggies, with smaller portions of pasta and beans. I’ve purchased a spicy pre-made tomato sauce from Waitrose, but you can use any store-bought or homemade tomato sauce in this recipe.

I don’t know about you, but I love real estate and getting a chance to peek inside people’s homes. So, I created an empty flat tour video. This video is the first of a series where I will document my process of buying furniture and decorating a flat.
