Dimitris goes to London: all-time-favorites + new discoveries
Dimitris goes to London: all-time-favorites + new discoveries
I had the best time visiting London a few days ago & these are some of my all-time-favorites & new discoveries I would like to share with you all, in case you are planning a trip there soon…
The highlights?
Definitely ACE Hotel London in Shoreditch, the coolest place in the city, full of handsome creative hipsters from early in the morning till late at night (partying in the wild club located in the hotel basement…). I have been to ACE New York a few years ago & I must say this one here is even better!
Chiltern Firehouse restaurant & bar is also something to remember, with delicious food & the most fashionable crowd in London!
Plus, the amazing Saatchi Gallery that always hosts the most interesting & unexpected contemporary art exhibitions!
Major fail? The talk-of-the-town (for no reason other than the expensive art decoration by the famous Frank Gehry & Damien Hirst) Sexy Fishrestaurant which I think is horrible & the only time & money I wasted during «Dimitris goes to London«.
