Iceland has been pretty great trip for the two of us. We were very lucky to visit and experience the nature of Iceland. Now, our next destination will be London. 

We both were reluctant to leave Iceland as we have been enjoying the fantastic scenery with our rented 4WD.🤣🤣🤣

At the same time,we are also looking forward to exploring England where we can eat lots of varieties of food. So contradicting, isn’t it!🍟🍗🍜🍱🍢🍡🍙🍔🍤

After 3 hours of flight, we arrived in London, Healthrow Airport. Unlike Iceland, transportation is very accessible here. We took a train from the airport to our Air B&B located in the city area to put down our luggage as we have 4 luggages (2 big and 2 small) for our whole trip.

London Train

As we were on the train, we were very lucky to be able to have a seat as the ride is about an hour. We woke up very early today to catch the plane and so we got a little sleepy. 😴 

This weird TowkayNew suddenly touched his armpit like a monkey! 🐒 He really does the weirdest thing and people stared at his action! And i rolled my eyes! Phew, lucky it was just for few seconds.😅😅😅

After putting down our luggages, we took a train to Candem Market.

There are many things to see see look look.

There is such a range of goods in the different mini shops. There are fashion and vintage, jewellery, shoes and accessories, home and decoration, gifts games and hobbies, music, books and film, art and photography, food and drink. You may be able to get some unique items that you like while browsing.

This is like a Pasar Malam (Street Market) in Asia context. We love the mini shops and the many cute displays. For us, it is just window shopping as we have things we need already!😄

Steak & Lobster Bloomsbury

London Steak And Lobster Bloomsbury

We made a reservation at Steak & Lobster Bloomsbury.

Wohoo!!! Finally we can have some seafood and Steak for Dinner. We are so looking forward as food in Iceland has been really expensive!

Check out our happy and hungry faces! And the best thing here is that the friess and salad are free flow!!! You can eat till you are full.

We ordered one steak and one lobster so that we can try both the main course.🍽

LOBSTER

London Steak And Lobster

For a lobster lover like me, I really love the grilled lobster that they cooked.

The fresh is so juicy and sweet. It is just so delicious that no words can describe! Hehe…

Mama-mia😋😋😋

STEAK

London Steak And Lobster Bloomsbury Candyce

For the steak, we ordered Medium Rare, it is very tender and suit our taste.We both love it too! 

But if I need to choose between lobster and steak, I will choose the LOBSTER  instead!

Fries and Salad

Since the fries and salads are free flow, we couldn’t control ourselves and we kept asking for more after we finished our own portion. The vegetables are very fresh and the fries are chunky fries which we can taste the potatoes inside. So yummy and awesome!🥗🍟🥗🍟

London Steak And Lobster Bloomsbury Towkaynew

I felt that it is notchbad for the portion and the price.

Each set cost 20 pounds, very value for money! We will be back for more!😂😂😂
