Like many of you around the world, my life has changed during COVID-19. I’m grateful to be healthy and at home self-isolating. As the guidance in the UK is that we can leave the house once daily to shop for essentials and for a walk or run, I have occasionally been leaving the house. During this time, I have captured photos to showcase what my life has been like here and wanted to share them with you.
As of January 5, 2023, I will have been in London for eight years. Eight years! Moving to London has been one of the greatest joys of my life – but making this dream a reality was not easy.
In celebration of my time in London, I wanted to answer a few questions that I frequently get about how I was able to move here, what I love about living in London, plus what is next for me here. Let’s dive in!
Allow me to introduce you to one of my new favorite restaurants in London: Bao & Bing!
Located in Marylebone, Bao & Bing is a Taiwanese street food restaurant with delicious cocktails. I’ve had the pleasure of eating at Bao & Bing twice now and both times have been incredible. I’ve curated a delicious assortment of photos and recommendations for you. Warning: If you’re not hungry you will be by the end!
Every year, London Parks & Gardens Trust hosts a special event called the Open Garden Squares Weekend. During this weekend, you can buy a ticket and explore private gardens throughout the city. These gardens range from beautiful squares to office buildings and a few historic landmarks. As someone who loves parks and gardens, I could not resist the opportunity to peek into some of London’s hidden gardens. Here are the highlights from my day, plus tips on how to make the most of your Open Garden Squares Weekend!
