Continuing with the bucket list, James and I took a day-trip to the Science Museum and tried out a new place for lunch, The Breakfast Club a few weeks ago.
The best bit about the Science Museum, was without a doubt, its level of interaction! I'm such a big kid. I also love the fact that it's free!
The museum is designed in a way to appeal to both to the adults and the children, offering new knowledge to the old and young. For example, it allows children to understand more about their biology through interactive games, while also providing informative sections on the planet's atmosphere and the consequences of global warming to the older ones!
In the central location of South Kensington, being absolutely free and with something for everyone, this museum is definitely worth a visit. Fun and knowledge combined!
If only the The Breakfast Club raised the bar as high.
After hearing some friends speak so highly of it, and being a pancake lover, I dragged James along to Soho.
After reaching the hipsters meeting room (the cafe) we queued for 40 minutes for a table. Once we were seated, because the cafe was so busy, the waitress could barely give us a minute to explain anything. They were working their butt's off! To top it off, you could hardly enjoy your food as you gazed outside the window and saw a long queue of hungry hipsters!
On the bright side, the cafe was very cost-friendly! I got a delicious smoothie with oats, strawberry, milk, honey, yogurt and banana for only £4! It was both filling and tasty! James grabbed himself a deal breaker with a bacon & egg butty and a black Americano for only £5.70.
The pancakes, however, were another story. Despite being reasonably charged (£6.50) they did not please the taste buds! They came served in a beautifully decorated plate of strawberries and berries, with a generous touch of vanilla cream on top, oh, and soaked in maple syrup. Now I love my sweet food. The sweeter, the better. But this was one touch too much.
The pancakes were drenched in maple syrup and they weren't really "berry" pancakes. They just had a few on the side! So, the only healthy thing about this (the berries) were barely existent. And the heavenly invention of pancakes was severely disfigured in a sickeningly sweet maple syrup.
So, although offering affordable and tasty-sounding food, the Breakfast club was a bit of a let down.
Do you have any recommendations of must places to visit in London?

I loved The Breakfast Club!!! I think you weren't lucky the day you went! I had a totally different experience, the staff was extremely friendly and my pancakes didn't have as much maple syrup. Although I have to admit that waiting 40 min or more does open your apetite and you're capable of eating whatever comes aha!
ReplyDeleteGuess we had different luck Sofia :( I had high high expectations after hearing you speak about it!
