I noticed that I have been writing so many posts on Thailand and the countries I travelled to but I've only written about London briefly in my introduction post [Link]: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@the.wildflower/hi-steemit-where-do-i-begin ..a place that became a second home to me although I've only lived there for 4-6 months.
For those of you who missed my first post, I was living and studying in Canterbury for a year before moving to London. However, it took me about a month until I found a place to settle in London :D
I literally went from a friend's spare room (East London) to an Airbnb (North West London) to Ladywell (South East London) where I stayed until my visa expired then to a hotel (Queensway).
During my time in London, I spent my days applying to approximately 50 jobs everyday while, working in a Thai restaurant a couple days a week as a receptionist, waitress and of course the toilet master :D.
Although, I did spend most of my time during the day working on applications I did find plenty of time to explore London. So what is there to do..more precisely 'to eat'?

Very nice photos, especially the food! The cafe Concerto looks like my type of place... I have a Spanish friend who lives in London. The first couple weeks he was there, he couldn't find anything to eat! He said it was all bangars & mash. lol

Cafe Concerto was really nice! If you do have the chance to go there you should certainly try the lamb (literally, fall off the bone :D). To be fair, the first couple of weeks could be abit confusing since is so big and especially when you probably won't know where everything is. I hope you Spanish friend managed to find some decent restaurants after awhile :D
