Saturday In The City

Processed with VSCOcam with a5 presetI don’t always like going to the city on weekends, since it’s often rush-hour-style overcrowded and I prefer not to do anything that requires me to put on my bra or brush my hair on a day off, but once in a while I can’t escape it and I combine as many things as possible. Let me take you on Tea’s Fun Day Out.

I first wanted to wait till the hype had worn off a bit, but then I really wanted to go, so early Saturday morning seemed a good idea. There was a queue, but it wasn’t too bad and I got to get my bowl and look at limited edition cereal box art displayed on the walls (everything from Simpsons to Star Wars and even Urkel-Os). The place is heaven for cereal addicts.

Once or twice a year I crave for pizza and today was one of those days and since it was mentioned in Whiplash a few times I was craving it. I was taken to Pepe Italian Street Food and loved it! They do pizza with a soft but thin base with lots of cheese and it’s pretty cheap for Soho (£4 for a main-portion sized big slice).

How was your weekend?

  1. I’m dying to go to that Cereal place, I don’t live in London unfortunately so it might be a while. Until then, I’ll just have to buy my own lucky charms (at the mental price of £5 a box) haha. xx

  2. Been meaning to try out the Cereal Killer Cafe along with the cat cafe also…
    Worth the hype? x

  3. I’m 200% with you! Many weekends all I want is to relax in my area (mostly Chiswick, Kew, Richmond) than face the crowds in the city centre. It’s just I don’t fancy all the transports again. But many parts of the city are not that crowded and it’s only on weekends you can enjoy them as well. So sometimes I’m looking forward to a walk, enjoy a new restaurant and photograph 🙂
    I’m sure you had a nice day. I like the decor of the Cereal Killer, even like the name, but it’s too pricey for the area where it is and for what you’re having! Not my style. But looking forward to visit the Cat’s cafe 😀

  4. So glad you managed to check the Cereal Killer Cafe in the end, and liked it. I was so lucky that I didn’t have to queue but I think it’s worth it anyway 🙂 The rest of your day looked so fun as well, I love exploring London.

  5. I want to try the Cereal Killer Café so bad. Will be in London mid-February for a few days so I might give it a go then.
