Sushi at Itsu in Notting Hill, party in SoHo and the Full English in Portobello

Saturday in London, it doesn't get any better than that! After Borough Market and some additional sightseeing, the girly gang trio (missing Chedd over in the US of course) headed over to Itsu in Notting Hill for a quick sushi dinner before rushing home to get ready for a big night out.

Excited for our Sushi and salmon teriyaki "in-a-box"!

After our lovely dinner in Notting Hill we stopped at the shop to buy some pre-party drinks before heading out. As a Swede, living in Sweden, I find it extremely luxurious to be able to go to the store ANY DAY, at ANY TIME and buy actual alcohol!! It should not be taken for granted, residents of... well pretty any other country in Europe! We took the tube back to my mates place and got ready for a great night in SoHo with more great friends who have decided to make London their home.

Great night!!
Waking up on the Sunday, with a slight headache from all the fun the night before, my London based pal took us for a stroll over to Portabello for brunch. It was a beautiful day and we managed to snag a table outside at one of the many places who served the all day English breakfast

A nice play on the Full English, veggie style! Although I can't say the vegetarian sausages were a big hit.

And so it is, after an amazing weekend with my best friends, my foodie adventure in the UK has come to an end for now. Follow me as I continue my foodie journey in Stockholm, Sweden! Next challenge... Becoming a chef. Anthony Bourdain, I have read your chapter "So you wanna be a chef" and despite being too old, I'm going to take comfort in the fact that I'm not too fat, and I'm still gonna do it, for the pure love of it. In your face. 

Anthony Bourdain; destroying dreams, breaking hearts and making people laugh since... well, he's old anyway.
View over London, breathtaking.

Thank you for an amazing weekend <3
