So I am finally getting around to sharing our London trip with you all – yea! This trip was extra special as it was both Øyvind’s 40th birthday trip and our summer vacation.
Here is a review of where we ate and what we ate in London this past July and a bit about where we stayed.
Where We Stayed – London
In London we stayed in the Finsbury Park Apartments, a self catering apartment building near the Finsbury Park tube station. We’ve been to London a few times together already but this time instead of staying in a hotel for 2 weeks, we decided that staying in an apartment would allow us the chance to get cosy and settle into London a bit more. Also, we really like long lazy breakfasts and having to get dressed, and go out for breakfast everyday was going to get old (real quick) so self-catering (i.e. having a fully stocked kitchen with a fridge, stove and sink) was the best option for us.
