Electric Diner, London

On By KateIn London recommendations2 Comments

Located on Portobello Road, this American diner is worth raving about. Situated within Portobello market, the atmosphere is euphoric. I recently went there for brunch to celebrate my friends 21st birthday. Upon entering the diner, we were warmly greeted by our waiter and taken to our table. Immediately we were served the most delicious apple and grapefruit juice. electric diner.JPG

I opted for Waffles, Strawberry Jam and cream. I devoured it all! It was too good not to. The kitchen is in close proximity, however the noise only added to the energetic atmosphere. Overall the ambience was eventful with many conversations and laughter present in the diner.

If you happen to stop by Portobello market then I’d recommend visiting. Although, I’d suggest booking in advance as it can get busy pretty quickly.

There is a cinema opposite the diner that I plan on visiting next time. I recall you can purchase a front row bed for two ! Now surely that’s worth looking into!

I visited Virginia Waters, Surrey, in January. Renowned for its picturesque views, it didn’t fail to disappoint. Simply walking around the lake, along with family, whilst breathing in fresh air, was remarkably calming. There is a copious amount of space to think quietly and be still in the moment. To be at one with nature is a pleasant feeling to experience as you walk around the lake.  The waterfall called “The Cascade” is a beautiful feature to witness.

I am very fond of photography, so I took the opportunity to take many photos of woodland as well as participating in an impromptu photo shoot!  Despite using an iPhone to take the photos,  I’m pleased with the quality.

From sipping a cup of coffee on the timber decking outside the pavilion to jogging around the waters, there is a wide array of activities to do.   If you plan on visiting, then I would set aside an entire day to take in the magnificent scenery.
