  • Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at LHR

    Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at LHR

    Waiting for a flight at the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse in Heathrow Terminal 3, London.

    The Heathrow Clubhouse is Virgin Atlantic’s flagship lounge, known for its full à la carte dining menu, cocktail bar and runway views. The photos show some of the food from this visit, including a pizza.

    It’s a great way to start a long-haul flight, so it’s worth arriving at the airport with time to spare if you have access.

  • Scotch Egg at Fortnum & Mason

    Scotch Egg at Fortnum & Mason

    A Scotch egg at Fortnum & Mason on Piccadilly, London.

    Fortnum & Mason, which has been trading since 1707, claims to have invented the Scotch egg in 1738 as a portable snack for travellers. The photo shows the version served in its restaurant.

    The Piccadilly store is a short walk from Green Park and Piccadilly Circus stations and is worth a visit for its food halls and famous tea and hampers.

  • Borough Market London: What to Eat at London’s Famous Food Market

    Borough Market London: What to Eat at London’s Famous Food Market

    A morning at Borough Market, one of London’s oldest and best-known food markets, next to London Bridge in Southwark.

    The market is packed with stalls selling everything from fresh produce, cheese and bread to hot street food from around the world. The photos show the market hall and some of the food on offer.

    It’s busiest around lunchtime and on Saturdays, so arriving early makes it much easier to get around. Southwark Cathedral and the Thames riverside walk are right next door.

    Smith’s Wapping: Seafood with Thames Views in London

    Dinner at Smith’s, a seafood restaurant whose sign promises it’s “Famous for Fish”, during a March 2024 trip to London.

    Smith’s is on Wapping High Street, right by the Thames. This was one of the highlights of our March 2024 trip, which you can read about in A Week in London.
