Flat Iron
2024 Mar 30
It was probably the best burger I have had to date. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive, and the food is quality. I'm not really a fan of popcorn, but I even found myself addicted to theirs. Even give you free ice cream on the way out. A great little place, which I recommend wholeheartedly as for London, it is great value.
Basilica Cistern
2023 Jul 11
Absolutely enchanting and captivating. It's all underground and submerged slightly in shallow water, which makes for a fascinating visit. The lights are low, moody, and changeable, so it makes for a great photo. You are really captivated by the aura of the place. Tip: Book online as the queues get very large, and you can skip the line. You will also need some photo ID with you.
Grand Bazaar
2023 Jul 11
It's actually not what I expected. I was expecting a rather grand, high ceiling bazaar with a rustic feel. This is not. It is full of little shops which felt quite modern. It is a huge indoor market, but it feels more like a shopping centre than a market. I did get some bargains, but there are a lot of stores that sell the exact same stuff as the one next to it.
Topkapi Palace Museum
2023 Jul 11
It was a really fascinating insight into the lives of the former Sultan rulers of the Ottoman Empire. There is a lot here, and with the buildings being built around 4 courtyards, it makes for a long visit. I'd recommend putting a good 3 hours aside for you to be able to absorb the very many rooms.
Le Sacre Coeur
2023 Jul 03
Really pleasant bistro in the heart of Islington with a very French deco and feel. I really enjoyed my meal, which was the Coq au Vin and sautéed potatoes with a cheesy garlic bread starter. Very reasonable fixed price menu as well at £18.50.
