WHERE TO EAT
Recently rated one of the top restaurants, Tapas Brindisa is
known for having some of the most authentic Spanish dishes in London. This spot is great for lunch with a
friend. During noon and 4 pm, they offer a prefixed lunch for £20
for 2 people with a choice of six tapas. The grilled smoked chorizo on toast
and seared scallops are two of my favorites.

WHERE TO DRINK
For a night of drinking and dancing, visit Nightjar, an
underground jazz bar. Nightjar is often frequented by locals, and often
celebrities who are trying to get away from the standard London clubs. The
cocktail list is broken down in four categories: pre-prohibition (1600-1918),
prohibition (1918-1932), post-war (1940-200) and nightjar signatures. The
bloody mary/red snapper from the prohibition era and the hobson kiss from the
pre-prohibition era are two of the most popular drinks.

WHERE TO SHOP
Located in Covent Garden, this vintage shop is owned by Lily
and Sarah Allen, two sisters known for setting trends in the London fashion
scene. Lucy in Disguise is a one-stop shop for all your beauty needs in London.
I highly suggest browsing their vintage collection since many pieces come from
locations all over the world. Also, in the far back of the store, there is a
beauty bar where you can find the perfect makeup to complete any look.
