{Eat & Drink} Markham Inn arrives on Chelsea Green.
Happy Boxing Day!! I love the English tradition of taking the day after Christmas to continue the eat-a-thon… Although, I am not quite sure how to fit in anything else after yesterday.

{Eat & Drink} Lunching at Automat, THE American Brasserie.

{Eat & Drink} Christmas tea and cheer at The Savoy.
Christmas tea at The Dorchester will forever remain one of my favorite holiday events in London, so when we made reservations this year to try out The Savoy instead, I was a tad apprehensive.
