If you're craving authentic Vietnamese food in London, look no further than Viet Quan on Old Kent Road! 📍 Nestled near Burgess Park and right by Tesco, this spot offers a relaxing, spacious dining experience that feels like a peaceful escape from the city's chaos. 🧘🌳 Let’s talk food! 🍴 Viet Quan Special Rice The char siu pork was a standout! It came perfectly grilled — juicy and tender with just the right fat-to-meat ratio. Unlike the sweeter Hong Kong-style version, Viet Quan’s take is more savory, balanced with a mild glaze that enhances the pork’s natural flavor. Served over fluffy rice with fresh greens on the side — this dish is both hearty and satisfying. 🍜 Pho Bo Tai Classic and comforting! The broth was clear, fragrant, and packed with subtle beefy depth. The thinly sliced beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the rice noodles had a perfect bite. It came with all the right toppings — fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime wedges, and chili slices. I love how you can customize each spoonful! 🥢 ☕ Vietnamese Iced Coffee I’m not even a big coffee drinker, but this was a pleasant surprise. It had a smooth, milky flavor with just a hint of bitterness, served ice-cold. Creamy and refreshing — it made for the perfect ending. The service was friendly, the ambiance was calm, and everything tasted home-cooked with care. Highly recommend if you're in the area or willing to make the trip.💯 Viet Quan 📍320 Old Kent Rd, London SE1 5UE, United Kingdom #globalcookiecrumbs_london #globalcookiecrumbs_foodie #london #food #unitedkingdom #noodle #coffee #tesco #trip #play #travel

#myfavoriteroute If you’re based in Birmingham and looking for a relaxing, scenic day trip or weekend escape, Aberdovey (Welsh: Aberdyfi) is my absolute favourite little coastal town — peaceful, charming, and surprisingly accessible. 🚆 Getting There — The Best Part Starts on the Train! The journey itself is part of the experience. From Birmingham New Street, you can hop on a direct train to Aberdovey, and in just 2 hours, you’ll be watching the rolling Welsh hills transform into gorgeous coastal views. Top Tip: Sit on the left side of the train when heading west — from around Machynlleth onwards, the train hugs the estuary and coastline, and the scenery is simply stunning. 🏖️ Why Aberdovey? A Perfect Mix of Nature & Nostalgia Aberdovey is one of those hidden gems along the Welsh coast that locals adore but tourists often overlook. Here’s what makes it special: 📸 1. Rainbow Pier — Instagram-Worthy Spot The small pier, painted in soft pastel blues and pinks, stretches gently over the estuary. At low tide, you can walk to the end and recreate those dreamy, seaside shots — feels straight out of a scene from About Time. 🚂 2. Talyllyn Steam Railway — World’s Oldest Narrow-Gauge Railway This vintage steam train is pure nostalgia — it’s the original inspiration for Thomas the Tank Engine, running through the lush Fathew Valley. Perfect for families, train lovers, or just anyone craving a whimsical, slow-paced adventure through the Welsh countryside. Tip: The station at Tywyn (10 mins from Aberdovey) connects directly to the steam train route. 🐦 3. Craig yr Aderyn (Bird Rock) — Unique Hiking Experience For nature lovers, this 1-hour hike takes you to the top of “Bird Rock,” Britain’s only inland sea bird nesting site. The views are absolutely worth the climb — rugged cliffs, panoramic hills, and flocks of birds circling the summit. 🌿 4. Beach Walks & Village Charm Aberdovey has a beautiful sandy beach that feels endless, especially at low tide. The village itself is postcard-perfect — pastel cottages, cosy cafés, little seafood spots. It’s quiet, laid-back, and makes you forget the big city exists. 🌟 Why I Recommend It ✔️ Easy, affordable train access from Birmingham (ideal for car-free travellers) ✔️ One of the most scenic coastal train routes in the UK ✔️ Combines nature, history, and seaside charm — perfect for a day trip or slow weekend ✔️ Great hiking, bird-watching, and vintage steam trains — something for everyone ✔️ Not touristy — peaceful even in summer compared to busier seaside towns #travel #train #unitedkingdom

#myfavoriteroute During my last work trip to Inverness, one of the northernmost towns in the UK, I decided to ditch the plane and challenge myself with the iconic London to Inverness direct coastal train — a journey of nearly 8 hours along the UK’s dramatic east coast. And honestly, it turned out to be one of the most rewarding, scenic travel experiences I’ve ever had. 🌊 The Route Highlights The real magic begins shortly after you pass Newcastle, where the train hugs the coastline for a long stretch. Imagine endless sea views, rugged cliffs, and charming coastal villages rushing past your window. Once you cross into Scotland, the landscape transforms — rolling hills, vast open spaces, and flocks of adorable sheep grazing peacefully. It feels like watching a postcard come to life, and the peacefulness of the Scottish Highlands slowly unfolds the closer you get to Inverness. One particularly charming stop along the way is Berwick-upon-Tweed, a quaint border town whose full name translates to “Berwick by the River Tweed” — it sounds just as cute as it looks! 🚆 Practical Tips for This Route ✔️ The direct London to Inverness LNER service takes around 8 hours, with two trains running daily in each direction. Typically, there’s a morning departure arriving by evening — perfect for soaking up the scenery. ✔️ If you want to make the journey even more special, there’s also the Caledonian Sleeper, an overnight train that departs late at night and arrives in the Highlands the next morning. I didn’t have time to try it this trip, but it’s on my list! ✔️ Seat Selection Matters: You can choose your seat when booking. Since the train isn’t always full for the entire route, I recommend reserving a forward-facing seat with a table — perfect for relaxing, working, or simply enjoying the stunning views. 🐑 Why I Recommend This Route This journey is more than just transport — it’s a slow, calming transition from the hustle of London to the wild beauty of Scotland. Whether you’re a tourist or travelling for work like me, it’s a fantastic way to experience the diverse landscapes of the UK in one sitting, without airport queues or driving fatigue. Watching the changing scenery — from bustling cities to coastal cliffs to highland hills — makes the long journey feel surprisingly short. It’s also a great chance to unwind, read a book, spot wildlife, or simply watch the world go by. ✔️ Final Thoughts If you have time and enjoy scenic travel, skip the plane at least once and take the train from London to Inverness. Especially for coastal view lovers or anyone needing a dose of quiet, soul-healing beauty — this route is my personal favourite in the UK. #travel #train #unitedkingdom

#myfavoriteroute If I had to recommend just one train journey in the UK, it would be the Newcastle to Edinburgh route — hands down my favourite. Whether you’re a tourist or someone who’s lived in the UK for a while, this stretch feels like a hidden gem you’ll fall in love with every time. 🌊 Why This Route? The Newcastle to Edinburgh section of the LNER East Coast Main Line offers some of the most stunning, uninterrupted coastal views in the UK. Imagine wide open sea, dramatic cliffs, and postcard-perfect beaches rushing past your window — it honestly feels like you’re on the Spirited Away “train by the sea.” The best part? You don’t need to drive for hours or hike a cliffside trail — just sit back and enjoy the view. 🗺️ Scenic Highlights Once the train leaves Newcastle, the magic begins: ✔️ Alnmouth Station — From here onwards, you enter the famous “coastal stretch.” ✔️ Berwick-upon-Tweed — One of my favourite moments: the train crosses the iconic Royal Border Bridge, offering incredible views of the River Tweed meeting the North Sea. ✔️ Scottish Borders — As you enter Scotland, the sea stays close by, with beautiful rugged cliffs and quaint coastal towns. ✔️ Forth Bridge (closer to Edinburgh) — Another engineering marvel with panoramic water views. This route easily rivals scenic train journeys in other countries, and I personally think it’s one of the most underrated travel experiences in the UK. 💺 Practical Seat Tip • Travelling Northbound (Newcastle → Edinburgh): Book a seat on the right-hand side for uninterrupted sea views. • Travelling Southbound (Edinburgh → Newcastle or London): Sit on the left-hand side to enjoy the same scenery. When booking your ticket on the LNER website or apps like Trainline, look for the “Direction of Travel” icon on the seat map — that helps you pick the correct side easily. 🎒 Why I Recommend It I’ve done this route multiple times, and every time it feels new — the light changes, the sea sparkles differently, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot seals or dolphins along the coast. It’s a peaceful, visually rewarding alternative to flying, with no airport stress. Plus, Edinburgh Waverley Station drops you right in the heart of the city — no long transfers required. ✔️ Final Tips • Book early to snag a window seat. • Trains run frequently, but mid-morning or afternoon often offers the best light for photos. • Don’t forget your camera or phone — you’ll want to capture this. • Pair the journey with a few days exploring Edinburgh, or continue onwards for even more of Scotland. In short: If you only do one UK train ride for the views — make it Newcastle to Edinburgh on the right side of the train. You won’t regret! #travel #train #unitedkingdom

Cambridge: where the buildings are older than your situationship and everyone looks like they’re one thesis away from a mental breakdown in the prettiest way possible. Spent the weekend punting down the river, pretending I read Latin, and debating if I should marry into academia or just buy a tweed coat and fake it. The vibes? Intellectual. The boys? Emotionally unavailable. The scones? Life-changing.

Review of various angles of Big Ben clock tower photo spots Walk through the underpass of Wesminster Bridge from the London Eye before turning to the riverside. There will be a photo spot for both Big Ben and the bridge. In addition, if you buy a Sightseeing Bus, there will be a ticket for a boat trip that you can choose to get on from the Wesminster Bridge pier and get off at Tower Bridge, which is at London Tower, or you can sit back and go. The view of the Thames River is very beautiful, passing many important places such as St. Paul's Cathedral. It is a must-do activity if you go to London. Or you can buy a ticket to get off at Greenwich. #London #LondonTravel #England #TravelEngland #uk #uktrip #london #londontrip #bigben #unitedkingdom

The best meal in London ✔️ I've tried the Covent Garden branch and it's delicious There is always a long queue during meal time You still need to wait for 10 minutes before you can get a seat❗ After comparison, the taste of the Hammersmith branch is a bit more ordinary There are 14 Flat Iron Steak branches in London Just choose the store that is closest to you when you are traveling✔️ I'm glad we ate at two of them👍 Flat Iron's main steak in London starts from £14 (2024 prices) In 2023, it will still be 13 pounds. Earlier, it was advertised as 10 pounds. You can choose to add appetizers (many varieties) such as salad, fries, spinach, etc. Free popcorn for each table✔️ Since I met Xiaoyun, I know that beef steak is a delicacy🎉🎉 At the end, you can also use the cute toy knife given by the store clerk to exchange for caramel flavored ice cream🍦 It's a pity that I can't take this knife back as a souvenir😂 The service staff has a good attitude and will actively ask about the taste. It is a store worth revisiting. #TravelCoolExperience #UK #unitedkingdom #flatiron #steak #foodlie #foodblogger #ambrosial #fantastic #100 Ways to Travel 🕰️Business hours: Friday and Saturday 12:00~23:30; Monday to Sunday and Sunday 12:00~22:30 📍Address: 17-18 Henrietta St, London WC2E 8QH United Kingdom
