Nearest Station: South Kensington

Opening Hours: Daily from 08:00 to 23:00.

For fresh pizza in South Kensington, there is no better place to go that Pizzetta Pizza. This place is small, and informal, and serves some of the best food around. 

The pizza is authentic, fresh, and the staff are fantastic. Pizza is sold in £3 slices. Pasta dishes are a mere £4.80, and soups are £2.50. The coffee is delicious too, as are the cakes.

For a fantastic deal, visit during Happy Hour on Thursdays from 17:00 to 20:00. They give you a free slice of pizza with every drink. Bargain!

Pizzetta Pizza also has another location in Victoria, with a Mayfair location coming soon. Reservations are not available for Pizzetta.

2. Bosphorus

Nearest Station: South Kensington
Address: 59 Old Brompton Road, South Kensington, London, SW7 3JS
Opening Hours: Daily from 11:00 to 23:30
Phone: 0207 584 4048

Walking past, this may seem like your normal local kebab shop, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The food here is simply delicious, and prices are very affordable. Having been here for 40 years, it is a local staple. 

Authentic Turkish kebabs are served in large portions including a pitta and salad, all for £6 to £7.50. If you are a fan of chips with your kebab, however, you won’t find those here. 

There is a small seating area where you can eat in, or you can take away.

3. The Muffin Man Tea Shop

Nearest Stations: Earl’s Court and Gloucester Road 
Address: 12 Wrights Lane, London, W8 6TA
Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday from 8:00 to 20:00, Sunday from 9:00 to 20:00
Phone: 0207 937 6652

For a great breakfast option, make Muffin Man a stop. With a full English breakfast available for £9.50, this tea shop provides value for money in the heart of Kensington.

It’s not just breakfast, however, as cakes, cupcakes and tea are available all day, as well as salads, sandwiches, paninis and soups. Most items on the menu are £2 to £4, with only a few items over £7.

This is a great place for a quick bite and you can make your meal as small or as large as you like with all the add-on items. Great for when you don’t need a full lunch or dinner.

A post reminiscing about the Walt Disney World International College Program

It’s been about six weeks since the end of my Disney World International College Program contract and I thought I’d write a retrospective piece summing up my experience. I’m going to very quickly get those of you who didn’t read my blog up to speed. Hi, I’m Gio from the UK and this Summer (2013) I participated in the International College Program at Walt Disney World. I was an attractions cast member working at Mickey’s Philharmagic and Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel in the Magic Kingdom. My program was about ten weeks long and I successfully completed it. I had already done one set of working for Disney back in 2011 at Disneyland Paris and I suppose to some extent I expected my ICP to be very similar, but longer. I was prepared for more heat, for more guests and (hopefully!) less of a language barrier in the US. This all proved true - sure Florida was hotter than Paris, yes the Magic Kingdom is the world’s busiest theme park and yes (for the most part) I didn’t have to tra

London: Things to do and Events in February Chinese New Year Image: Paul (Flickr) 18th February 2018 Although Chinese New Year itself is on the 8th February in 2016, the celebrations will be held on the subsequent weekend.  You can celebrate the start of the Year of the Monkey all around the West End with events held on Trafalgar Square and Chinatown from 10:00 to 18:00. London’s Chinese New Year celebrations are the largest outside Asia, with parades, performances and fireworks.  At 10:00 a large lion parade makes its way from Trafalgar Square to Chinatown; from 12:00 onwards stage performances are held; and at 17:20 the grand finale begins as dancers and acrobats take to the stage, and pyrotechnics illuminate Nelson’s Column.
