i visited London back in March and was there for almost two weeks, so i felt like i had seen a lot, but there is always more.  i love going to London close to Christmas because they have some fun street decorations, and it’s just so festive.

this time i stayed at the Radisson Blu on Bloomsbury.  i just love saying that, the Radisson Blu on Blooomsburrry. yes, i said it with a bad British accent….of course i did! Blooooommmsburrrry. nice hotel, convenient to our office, decent rooms and comfortable bar. there used to be a big red reindeer in the lobby, it’s gone now.  but……if you’re in the know and take the stairs, you can see two in the stairway landing.

time out and about was limited since i was there for work and it was a short trip, but i did manage to go to another market.  the Spitalfield Market was the choice.  no yummy-gooey grilled cheese (Borough Market) but a damn good doughnut from Crosstown. delicious.

we had a large group dinner at Imperial China, which was pretty good.  a very large restaurant, good service and lots of choices.  the area is fun to walk around at night as well, lots of activity. we waited in line for an hour to have enjoy breakfast at the Breakfast Club.  good food, but worth the wait? i don’t know…….i have really good breakfast at home too, and no wait. then again, if i’m being honest, i’ve been known to wait for a little Mama’s Royal breakfast.  i had lunch one day at the other Radisson Blu hotel restaurant, which was good.  i went mainly because of the name, Scoff & Banter. how could i not?

sadly, i think that is it for the highlights…short trip.  Next up, Oahu for a mixture of business and pleasure.
