London


Went over to London for a few days. Seem to always do the same things and visit same places. Visited a few new places this time. having rad a magazine article I paid a visit to a couple of 1950's style Italian Cafes, 1 in Bethnal Green and the other near Fulham Football Ground. the one in Bethnal Green , E. Pellicci has been listed by the local council planners. Inside the Interior is decked out in Wood Marketry and hasnt changed in 50 years. The food is all 'greasy Spoon' type but cooked just right. Also full of locals chatting like a real life version of 'Eastenders'

The other cafe the Riverside Cafe is right outside the bus station and Tube at Fulham. Again well worth a visit for the food the decor and athmosphere. If your going to a city for a second or third visit its well worth researching more unusual things to do. Another cafe well worth a visit is the Ace Cafe. Its a modern version of a 50's 'Transport' cafe where car and biker nuts meets ever night.
