It's funny how after being in France for so long, London felt like a comfort zone. (When I went to London in high school I thought it was as exotic as Chandler and Joey).
Perusing the Portobello Market, finding a favorite breakfast spot, shopping at Loft (no association to Ann Taylor), and lounging around Kensington Gardens were all highlights. High tea at the Dorchester was supercivilized and the mostly overcast weather just seemed right. I ate some of the best sushi of my life (thank you, Nobu) and I drank cappucinos and rosé wine like it was my job.
A holiday from a holiday.

Hi Olivia - glad you like my home soil...not quite as charming as France but London has its own appeal! Lou x
The design in the drink is so cute!
oh pretty!!! I love London a lot! great place! You took nice shots!
when i was abroad, going to london also felt like a comfort to me. a little home away from home.
Holiday from a holiday. I love that.
Ooo England is my favorite, please say that you'll be traveling more there and taking lots of pictures!
i love kensington gardens :) great photos xo
Oh, my! If you sold a photography portfolio of your travels, I would buy it. :)
ah my husband and I just got back from London (went this weekend) and felt the EXACT same way! We live in Amsterdam (moved two months ago from the U.S.) and in London we were feeling like we were home! All the mexican restaurants and English speakers.. it just felt so familiar, it was a lovely break from the COMPLETELY different world that we have in the Netherlands. Also, we went to Nobu and holyyy moses. It was a religious experience - best sushi ever!
I am sooo going to Nobu next time I travel there on a holiday! It's one of my favourite cities too :) I love the architecture and the light! (so different from the one in my home city Barcelona).
I'm with Faith! Your pictures are fantastic!
:)
aww portobello market reminds me of Bed Nobs and Broomsticks... =) Sounds like you had a lovely time. I'm a bit jealous though. =)
Love the smiley face coffee - a cute way to brighten up the day!
I love London and could very easily live there! Glad you had a great time! xxoo :)
Hands down, my favorite city in Europe. Yes, more than Paris, more than Barcelona... It's just the best.
I feel the same kind of comfort about London, surely it is the language, but also it seems to be the perfect blend of europe and the states all rolled into one very lovely city. this reminds me, i need to plan a trip back....
Although not as romantic as Paris, I love my days in London because they are so quirky and full of the unexpected. Plus, it's a lot closer to me than Paris, which always is a plus.
London (sigh) now that is my favorite city.
Lovely photos!
Everything looks so lovely! :D
I used to live in Kensington...such a lovely area! This looks like the perfect day and I love the tea sandwiches and rosé wine!
