Displaced Beachbums

It was such a comforting feeling of familiarity as we drove closer and closer to London. We returned the rental car at Heathrow and caught the tube to Baker Street where we rented a two-bedroom flat for our four nights in London. We stayed in the same flat when we left London last year.

Baker Street was a perfect location for us ~ the tube stop and bus stop were basically outside our door.

Sunday and Monday were reserved for John’s graduation from Kings College and for reconnecting with friends. On Tuesday, we went back to one of our favorite restaurants in all of London.

We ate lunch at Maguro in Maida Vale. So delicious! If you find yourself in London and have a hankering for Japanese food, I highly recommend Maguro at 5 Lanark Place, W9 1BT / TEL 020 7289 4353. It’s an easy walk from the Warwick Avenue tube stop (Bakerloo Line). Click here for more info and the menu. They do take-out and it’s a great meal to take to the park for a picnic.

Michael and Logan at Electric Hair, London

Another must was an appointment with Michael at Electric Hair. He does it all ~ color, cut, style. Logan and I both got hair cuts & Styling. Loved it! If you’re traveling through London (or lucky enough to live there) and are in need of some hair care, Michael is fabulous and can be reached here. Now if I could only figure out how to get back here every few months for another appointment.

Up Next: A two-hour guided walk that I’ve been planning for almost a year! Hint: it lived up to all the hype and more.
