I have always wanted to go to Notting Hill Carnival so we decided to check it out on the Sunday. Due to rail works we didnt get back to London until around 3pm and ended up getting to the carnival at 4pm. However this actually worked out really well as we managed to have enough energy to go out in Clapham in the evening.
The carnival had an unreal atmosphere, there was music everywhere you went, the streets were filled everyone having a great time. It was also great for my fitbit.. I managed to hit 22,000 steps that day!
The Monday morning we were not feeling so fresh. We treated ourselves to a lye in before a duvet day of films and food. I rarely have no plans at weekend and hate sitting about so this was actually a really chilled day and feels so good once in a while to just sit in your pjs. Plus it did not stop raining ALL day. In the evening we decided to venture out for food and after hearing so many good things about the burger places in London we decided to try one out. Dip & Flip is just round the corner from my boyfriends house and is a small little restuarant so I wasnt expecting the taste sensation it was. We all chose to go for the signature dip & flip burger, this was a beef patty, with their homemade slaw, mustard, ketchup topped with slice beef and the best bit... gravy! It also comes with a little dish of more gravy (for dipping) and the most amazing fries.
I booked off the Tuesday as I wanted to spend an extra day in London with my boyfriend. We are usually hardcore planners but we decided to just have a chill day and walk around and explore new places. I've been wanting to go to a place I found on Instagram a couple of months ago called Little H's, its linked to Hally's which is just across the road but the little cafe specialises in juices and smoothies. My boyfriend and I both went for the KMP - kale, pineapple, cucumber, apple, lemon & mint. It was so so good.
We also tried the chicken & avocado sandwich which was heavenly, however we both then regretted that we didnt try something different each. We wish we had tried out the salad plates but read the menu wrong and thought they were mega expensive!
As we had accidently skipped breakfast/had another lye in we decided to try some of the sweet bakes. I tried the banana and chia seed bread and my boyfriend tried the fruit crumble - both were sensational!
I will deffinately be returning to the cafe in the near future to try out one of their salads and another KPM!
After the best four days I've returned home from London, bank holiday please come again soon! However after all the food consumed this weekend I cannot wait to get back into the gym tomorrow!
