Brunch in Bloomsbury, London
The Riding House Cafe is a well known restaurant branch for brunch and their latest location is a 3 minute walk away from Russell Square tube station.
Located in The Brunswick Centre which is an outdoor shopping area, this restaurant is a decorated and designed like a treehouse so imagine alot of greenery and wood.
A highlight is their wide menu where there is something for everyone, expect to spend around £15pp.
For 2023 I’m wishing to try new brunch places in new regions!

London | The must try cake shop near Russell Square
At Mille near Russell Square, I finally got the long-awaited new cake flavors!
The Camellia Green Grape Cake is truly delicious, with a super soft cream on top and sweet green grapes. There's a delicate tea fragrance in every bite.
The Chestnut Hōjicha Vanilla Cake has a huge chestnut on top, with layers of cake that each have a unique texture. The hōjicha aroma is enticing, giving a mild tea flavor without bitterness.
The Dark Chocolate Strawberry Cake is beautifully made. The dark chocolate is rich, and the strawberries are soft and sweet – absolutely delicious!
I also had a wonderful hōjicha coffee, which was super fragrant and came in a generously sized cup.
The Taro Croissant is back! It’s incredibly tasty, with hearty portions of taro filling, rich in flavor, and complemented by savory pork floss for an added aroma boost!

Cute London Cafe
If you’re walking down the streets of London, it won’t be long until you come across a cafe like the 49 Cafe in Russell Square.
This cute, family run cafe offers a variety of dishes such as a bagel and coffee combination and a traditional full English breakfast. The cafe is cozy and can sit around 8 people which gives it a more authentic and family feel to it. They have great deals available such as a bagel and a coffee for £7.

it was my own short city break in London, I was travelling from the north so it was very handy be able to walk from Euston station and also Russel Square to hop on Piccadilly line.
The room was neat and enough space for myself, the bed was confi and I liked the proper wardrobe not just a few hooks on the wall.
Shower room was ok, clean and functional.
only the downside was noise from the next door and people in the corridor, never understand why people talk loud in the public area but hey how it’s a big city.
overall it was nice and I slept very well, that is what I wanted.
