When I went to London last April, I had a long list of things to do, or more like stores I wanted to visit. It took me literally all over the place, and sometimes, the best way to get around is on foot, but it can be really really tiring.
|
London's directional signs makes it very easy to get around. |
|
I can never resist a selfie at Picadilly Circus,
though this time around the iconic Eros was under repair. |
|
One of my must visit stores is always Lillywhites in
Picadilly Circus, a Sports discount store that offers big
discounts, I always go, even if they sell mostly sports stuff. |
Given all my errands, I really needed to sit and rest, so when I saw Jamie's Italian on Picadilly, I decided to check if they had a table for one, so I could just snack or have an early dinner, and catch my breath before I did more shopping.
|
Jamie's Italian on Picadilly is in this iconic building. |
|
So iconic it even has a name and some history. |
|
Selfie before checking if they had space for me.
But it was only when I was blogging did I find out that
this was there flagship restaurant, and it has 5 floors. |
|
They do have nice outdoor seats too. |
|
The menu is laid out nicely, newspaper style. |
|
I was given a nice bar-side table. |
|
Look at my date, Mr ham leg. |
|
Looks yummy! |
|
I love their understated menu pattern. |
|
I decided to order their famous Meat Plank,
minus the recommended wine. |
|
This is me while waiting for my Meat Plank. |
|
And they serve it really nicely too. |

|
I wasn't hungry and I only needed to rest, but everything was gone in no time. |
|
I couldn't resist but take pics of the toilet. You know you're already a
household name when you have your own NICE BUNS Toilets. |
|
Surprisingly, my rest was very affordable at GBP6.95
tax inclusive. It even felt like I got the food for free. |
I'd definitely want to come back to try some of their real food next time.
|
If you miss them, you can still catch them at Gatwick. |
I considered eating there again, but the place serving Full English Breakfast called out my name louder.
|
Full English Breakfast as my last meal in London |
|
But I opted to go for mushroom instead of beans |
|
This is how I'll always remember Jamie Oliver,
as the naked chef.

But even if he's no longer naked, or he no longer looks that fab, I would still come back to his restaurant. just saying.
