New On My London Guide: Megan’s, No 32 The Old Town, Oriole, The Barbary Notting Hill, The Ivy Tower Bridge

It’s time for another update of my London Guide! If you are new to my blog, I used to live in Boston and now I have lived in London for ten years. I have a great Boston Guide which I update regularly with my trips home and I also update my London Guide monthly. Both guides are completely free and all are places I have personally visited, with my honest feedback. If this little old blog ever gets big enough to enjoy a comped meal, I’ll make sure to disclose it.

Now that we have covered that housekeeping, let’s get into the good stuff. Namely – five new restaurants on my London Guide, including Megan’s at the Battersea Power Station, No 32 The Old Town in Clapham, Oriole, The Barbary Notting Hill, and The Ivy Tower Bridge. Let’s dig in!

Recipe: My Favorite Easy Pasta Dish For One

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.

RECIPES

Recipe: Vegan Mango Banana and Spinach Protein Smoothie

Summertime in London is….interesting. The weather constantly changes – one day it could be in the high 60s and chilly and another will be absolutely scorching hot. Add in the fact that nobody has screens and air conditioning is hard to come by and the hot days feel that much hotter.

When faced with a British heatwave, my flat quickly becomes unbearable. As a result, I crave cold yet nutritious smoothies – like this vibrant green mango, banana and spinach protein smoothie. Sweet yet satisfying and packed with wholesome ingredients, braving a British heatwave just got that much easier.
