London is calling


So as a blogger it is required to travel, because i want to expand my horizon and my blogposts by experiencing different cultures and cities of the world. For my next trip, London is on the agenda. I am very curious, because the last time i was in London i was turning 20. May i add, wouw how time flies being 26 already. So for my trip i have started to research all the things i want to see when in London. Obviously we are going to this magical city to shoot for Life of J, but me and my business partner are researching for business opportunities which is all very exciting. I will also experiment with a vlog for you guys, showing all of our adventures. We will be staying at the Shoreditch Hotel. Here are some idea's i have gathered so far if you have more tips about things i have to see, let me know and comment below!

1. EXPLORE NOTTING HILL

2. VISIT THE MARKETS

Visit Columbia Road flower market, Portebello Road market, eat all the food at Borough market and find a little bit of everything at Camden market.

3. VISIT THE HARRY POTTER STUDIOS

As a die hard Harry Potter fan i need to see this apparently visitors can tour the actual film sets and learn the special effects tricks used in the popular films.

4. DRINK UP ON A ROOFTOP BAR

If you didn’t know, London is quite famous for it’s rooftop bars. Popular ones include Roofnic, Culpeper Roof Garden, Radio rooftop bar, and Vista

5. ENJOY A DRINK AT GORDON’S WINE BAR

Established in 1890, Gordon’s Wine Bar is possibly the oldest wine bar in London. Still family run, signs of the bar’s long history can be found everywhere, from the cellar and candlelit tables, to the aged wooden walls covered in memorabilia and old newspaper cuttings.

6. VISIT COVENT GARDEN

Explore the old market, watch street performers, hear musicians. There’s plenty of free fun to be had in Covent Garden!

7. ICE SKATE AT SOMERSET HOUSE

During Winter, the grand courtyard at Somerset House provides this 900-metre-square ice rink with one of the most impressive skating backdrops in town. It’s London’s favourite outdoor ice rink!

8. CHECK OUT THE STREET ART IN SHOREDITCH

Experience street art and graffiti on a guided walking tour of Shoreditch London, alternative art by Banksy, Eine, Sweet Toof, Stik and many more.

9. SHOP AT HARRODS

I mean I’d rather just move in but shopping there works too. The Egyptian room is really quite a dream.

10. HIGH STREET SHOPPING

London has some of the best (if not, THE best) shopping in the world. Be sure not to miss Oxford, Bond, Regent and Carnaby Streets.

11. CHRISTMAS MARKETS

If you’re visiting over Christmas, you MUST visit the Christmas markets. London is magical during the holidays.

12. HAVE A DRINK AT THE SECRET UNDERGROUND TUBE BAR

Did you know there is a secret underground bar in London that contains an entire tube carriage? It’s called Cahoots and it’s a 1940s-underground-themed cocktail bar. The attention to detail is kind of insane.

13. have dinner at shaka zulu

This is an amazing South African restaurant in Camden. It is a club, restaurant and bar in one. It will blow your mind away.

13. Sketch

This is a restaurant in London which is completely pink.

13. Sea containers

Rack up cool points with an Insta shoot here and in the neighbouring bar, Dandelyan. Eye candy abounds..
