my mom and i did so many fun things while she was here! one saturday we went to the north london vintage market (didn’t do as well as I did last time!) then we took the 134 bus to highgate for some lunch and shopping. at highgate ave & archway rd, you will find quarters cafe – a simple cafe with teas, cakes & asian noodle soups perfect for cold london days. this quaint cafe is curated with beautiful midcentury furnishings selected from their vintage store next door. i had the malaysian laksa; it was so warming and delicious.
don’t miss souvenir, the quaint shop/gallery a few doors down from quarters featuring illustrations, leather goods, jewelry, & textiles from british designers.
