A tasty fusion of fruit juices and vodka, Penn State sour cream and chive flavour mini pretzels. Complimentary
London (LHR) to San Francisco (SFO), Virgin Atlantic
This was the “welcome” snack as we departed London. I think they offer you vodka even in Economy so you can calm down, fall asleep, and not bother the airline attendants. I watched more movies on this flight than I would normally watch over 4 months, lol!
Bye, bye London! On the plane headed home and dreading the 9+ hour flight.
Whole free range egg encased in fresh Cumberland pork sausage meat and coated with breadcrumbs. £1.15
Waitrose, London ENGLAND
Another heavy artery clogging bomb! Gotta love it, I do! I was afraid to microwave it because it might burst, but thankfully it didn’t.
Covent Garden Market. There are plenty of shops to keep you occupied in this shopping area jam packed with tourists! I purchased a cute decorative tile in the Apple Market.
Roasted peanuts, bacon lardons, celery ribbons, mustard dressing.

These meat pies, made by Dickinson & Morris, contain coarsely chopped natural British pork seasoned with a special blend of salt and pepper wrapped in a delicious rich pastry. Natural bone jelly is added after baking. £0.50
Waitrose, London ENGLAND
These aren’t the healthiest snacks, but I figured that getting one mini pork pie wouldn’t be too bad for me. They’re actually really tasty, and the pastry shell is definitely buttery and rich.
Westminster Abbey north entrance, The Collegiate Church of St. Peter at Westminster. This beautiful Gothic church is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for British monarchy. This is also where Prince William and Catherine Middleton had their Royal wedding!
Cocktail with Hendrick’s gin, elderflower cordial, lemon, soda and fresh cucumber. 5 O’Clocktails £4.25
All Bar One, London ENGLAND
Ahhh, this was a nice and refreshing cocktail to have on a bright sunny day. We packed in a lot of sightseeing over the two full days we were in London so this cocktail was well deserved, lol!
London Bridge sign. This isn’t the prettiest bridge on the River Thames, but I guess I had to walk on it to check it off the list.
Deep fried prawns in wasabi mayonnaise sauce. £15.80
Jun Ming Xuan Chinese Restaurant, London ENGLAND
I liked that the wasabi-mayo wasn’t too strong and overpowering. The prawns were quite large and filling especially with the heavy sauce.
“Young Dancer” bronze statue, Enzo Plazzotta, Broad Street, Covent Garden. It’s fitting that this statue sits across the street from the Royal Opera House, the home of the Royal Ballet!

Holland, 5%.
All Bar One, London ENGLAND
We had been walking all day, so we really needed a drink break! This was a cute and clean bar/restaurant on our way to one of the shopping districts. We sat outside and enjoyed the warm sunshine.
Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk plaque. This is one of ninety plaques in the 7-mile long circular walking trail commemorating Princess Diana who died in a car accident in 1997.
Big King hamburger with 2 flame grilled beef patties, crispy lettuce, sliced onions, pickles, American cheese and Big King sauce. Meal with small fries and small Diet Coke. £3.99
Burger King, London ENGLAND
I guess BK in London has a different “King of the Day” sandwich for each day of the week. Mondays are Big King cheeseburger days! The burger seems much smaller than how the product description on their website reads. Hmm… It tasted like Burger King though! Sometimes fast food chains taste differently in other countries, but even the ketchup tasted the same here.
Video and neon displays of Picadilly Circus. Not quite Times Square but it’s still cute. Love the red double decker bus in the pic.
Chopped chicken with corn, carrot, peas, celery and crispy noodles served with lettuce cups. £7.80
Jun Ming Xuan Chinese Restaurant, London ENGLAND
A delicious bite topped with hoisin sauce. This dish tasted fresh and bright, and I appreciated the similarly sized cuts of all the ingredients in the chicken filling. Mmm!
K2 red telephone boxes, Broad Street, Covent Garden. These iconic telephone kiosks designed by Gilbert Scott are SO cute! I think it’s standard for any tourist of London to have their photo taken inside one of these British telephone booths.
Green peach relish.

Plain waffle with caramel topping. £2.50
Belgian Waffle Stand, London ENGLAND
This random waffle stand sits right outside the Green Park Tube Station and literally smells of butter and sugar, lol! They offer a variety of toppings including chocolate, strawberry, cream, fruit, etc. The waffles are super sugary and the caramel sauce made it even sweeter. It had great flavor and it was warm, but definitely way too sweet for me!
Vodafone-branded London taxi cab. The cars are wrapped in a Union Jack design made up of over 2,000 London street names. I think they look pretty cool and I guess Vodafone customers can also charge their phones and pay fare via text!
