London Spring Break 2017 III



I really wanted to got to Liberty in London, a huge department store, because the building is famous. It is truly a beautiful building. There was a huge truck in the way so I couldn't get a good shot of the front of the building. Apparently it's even more beautiful at night or during Christmas time. 








 

Really nice shops in this area




Afternoon tea at the ultimate blogger spot, sketch

They even had a live orchestra playing.


The girl taking the picture on the left was going wild with her snaps. She was taking a picture every second, at every angle. 
They pour you the champagne from really high up, it was so fun to watch and so hard not to laugh. It was awesome!

There literally was a man called "The Caviar Man" who wore a pink suit and a hat, who scooped us some caviar and explained how we eat this fancy dish. His job is to scoop caviar (isn't that crazy?).

The most adorable tea set, all the food is unlimited and the tea is as well. 
Let me tell you, by the time you get through with all the courses you are exploding!

The menu

 
We chose this non-alcoholic rosé sparking grape juice and idk what it was, but it was SOO delicious.

 




Dessert, right when we are about to burst at our seams!

 
Even their bathrooms are well known. It reminded me of  Alice in the Wonderland yet futuristic. 
There was also a person there to assist you and she was dressed in a maid's outfit!

Toilets are in these egg pods!

sketch was an amazing experience! You have to make reservations ahead of time online. They also do brunch as well, but we chose to do the Gallery Afternoon Tea. It was pricey, but worth every penny. Our reservation was at 11am, and we were one of the first to be there so the managers came to us to explain everything and it was veryyyy helpful. At first it was awkward because we felt under dressed, but there isn't a dress code and almost all the guests were casual, or semi-casual (I would recommended dressing up semi-casual). Proper things make me want to be crazy but I contained myself, haha! And the food/tea was not only pretty to look at, it was delicious. The service there is A+ quality. They pour you your drinks constantly, they make sure you have all the food you need, they patiently explain things if you ask, they push your chair in for you, and they even folded my (slightly dirty) cloth napkin when I came back from the bathroom!

The National Gallery, most of all the big museums in London are free!!

Trafalgar Square

This reminded me of the steps of the MET in NY


Famous thumbs up!






My mom is the cutest

Street performer in Leicester Square

Small but cute Japanese market near Piccadilly Circus


China Town






Huge, cheap and delicious! 


The pandan roll cake from this bakery was sooo good!

Watching the musical Wicked

Accidentally fell asleep during the first half, I was sooo tired!
