Sushi sticks and heights

Sushi Samba is my favourite cocktail place, you need to visit it when arrive to London!
First of all, it is allocated on the top of the building (40th floor) in the heart of the city.
I love Japanese cuisine so I often eat sushi and drink cocktails with my friends there, music is loud and it makes you dance even if you don’t know how to ;) Another amazing thing there is an outside terrace with giant three made of little orange lights and lovely modern fireplaces that keeps you warm till the end of September, despite that crew hands blankets after 6pm, to make sure you can stay outside and enjoy your lychee refresher. I love this place because of amazing food variety and quality but also because stunning view and a lot of interesting people who like to pop by. Once I met an aspiring singer who now (a year later) came out with his first album available in stores! This place attracts interesting people who like to interact with others. That makes Sushi Samba so special! The only minus of this place is price, cocktails are around 15£ and cheapest sushi plater around 18£, but don’t worry. ‘caring Is sharing’ so grab your friends and enjoy group discounts ;)

Some pictures from our last visit, enjoy!





Cheap and posh please!

I wrote a lot about the places to hang out, admire or think of your life decisions… but where should you eat when visit London? Well, let’s be honest, you can choose any cuisine of the world and I can guarantee you that, you will find restaurant that serves that particular food in town. London is as global as its citizens. So, there is a lot to explore but I do have my ultimate favourites. I love local food trucks in Camden (I became a huge fan of Mexican burritos) and I have soft spot for French macaroons but when it comes to proper restaurant, I always choose ‘The Zedel’. It’s a French Brasserie, with French and American accent (yes, here in London we like to mix things) It’s a beautiful place with American Bar, The Crazy Cook live show and beautiful and elegant restaurant that someone literally, stole from the heart of Paris. Bar has this ‘chatty’, ‘foggy’ vibes where people drink and laugh by the old wooden bar full of alcohols, but restaurant has completely different atmosphere, its elegant and simple. Menus are always handed in French (You need to ask for English version, even if you’re in capital of United Kingdom) Waiters speak with French accent and life music is always in French. It’s such a beautiful experience, because you feel like you are entered to the different culture. Interiors are marble, with gold details and wooden tables, light is elegant and soft. Food is totally French, I think I’ve tried there my very first snails in garlic sauce- delicious! What I like the most about this place is, the fact that it looks very expensive (English would say posh, but I really don’t like this word) but it’s very affordable! For 3 course menu in beautiful place, with life music you will pay 12£. I’m not joking. Yes, I know I just made your life better. Of course, you can choose different dishes and pay for them separately but set menu that includes salad, French steak with sides and then dessert with coffee will cost you only 12£. I chose this place for my graduation dinner, my family loved this place, me and one of my best friend had a lot of fun there! It was a beautiful place to celebrate such an important life event! When I booked this place I mentioned we need a nice table as we are going to celebrate the graduation, because I didn’t want to be allocated in inconvenient place, like by the kitchen doors or near the entry where is always busy. Restaurant surprised us with extra cake and ‘congratulations’ sign on it (obviously in French) we also received glass of prosecco for free. All that for 12 pounds per person. Book your table after you see these pictures!    






Little history never killed nobody


National History Museum is my ultimate favourite museum on the world, I don’t even know where to start, because I could easily do this assignment only about this place. First of all-architecture, technically I know it was built in 1873… but how the hell people could build such a beautiful, monstrous and complicated building a 150 years ago? (Deep down I’m still processing this information) Building itself makes you ‘wow’ when you see it from outside and then makes you speechless when you enter the main hall. The number of exhibitions and attractions is countless, I think that I spent there a whole day, and I planned to visit Science Museum And Royal Gallery afterwards…well it didn’t happened that day. I literally soaked in the atmosphere and exhibitions. My favourite so far was ‘’Whales: Beneath the surface” where I could learn about their growing process and how they communicate between each other, did you know that whales have their own language? Impressive. Im a huge fan of Discovery Chanel and Animal Planet so in History Museum I feel like I belong there. I couldn’t forget about Dippy, who is actually a gigantic skeleton of Diplodocus, allocated in the middle of great hall, I remember how astonished I was to see such thing first time in my life, especially when I’ve been an official owner of  ‘Alwalkeria maleriensis’ skull( small dinosaur, ap. 50 cm tall) I got it as an inheritance from my grand grandfather, who brought it from Egypt when it was all fun and legal. I love exhibition about dinosaurs! So I do visit this place often and I would recommend It to everyone. When my family visited London during my Graduation Ceremony, we went there for the whole day. Its really worth the time. What I really love about British museums is the fact that the main attractions are free, that’s beautiful and generous that such an amazing objects are fully available for everyone. I spent there most of my 1st year free time, cause everything else was too expensive to attend, when the basic pay per hour was only 6,50. But ‘broke times are fun times’ because you start to like niche music bands and go to see them life for free, and museums and art galleries becoming your favourite places to hang out. I still have a soft spot for these spots, I remember that coffees we were buying with my friend. We always shared one because we rather spend rest of the money on chips- that we would obviously share!
