The London Edit!

Creams Cafe in Kingston is one of the most popular social hubs in Kingston. I know so many students who go to Kingston University and Roehampton University who pay a visit all the time. It's a great place for a quick milkshake, or for dessert. 

Despite the name being 'Creams Cafe', the atmosphere of the place has more of an American diner feel to it, and feels almost like a day bar/club as it's quite dark inside with sofa booths, with loud music blaring in the background. 

As soon as you step into Creams, you'll be directed to your table, which will be numbered. You have to go up to the tills to order your food so you'll need to quote your table number at the till, and then pay. 

The food offered is sweet rather than savoury. The variety of waffles and pancakes/crepes offered is unbelievable! You can choose any toppings, from exotic fruits to mouthwatering chocolates and sweets. And the milkshakes are beyond delicious- they can whip you up any flavoured shake in no time. Smoothies are also available. 

Here is a photo of the Strawberry and Chocolate Giant Waffle I had (I couldn't finish it all, but the staff were more than happy to offer me a small box to take the rest home with me): 

If you're not a waffle/pancake kinda person, you can indulge in a slice of cake. Creams offer lots of different cakes such as Black Forest Gateau, Lemon Cheesecake, Carrot Cake, and Chocolate Fudge Cake. 

Last week, I visited M&Ms World in Leicester Square. I've been seeing photos of this place all over Instagram and Twitter so I had to go and check it out myself! Most people make the mistake in thinking that M&M World is a place where you'll have enough things to do to spend the whole day there. This isn't really the case as M&M World is an attraction whilst your in and around Central London and wish to pop in for a bit. 

M&M World is essentially a place where you can purchase merchandise endorsed by M&Ms. For example, T-shirts, mugs, lunch packs, toys, sweets, stationary, and even candy dispensers. However, it is also a great place for photo opportunities. M&M World features a life-size London red bus that makes really cool memories if you take a photo of yourself next to it, or even on it. 

Also, you can view M&M art masterpieces such as a huge canvas of a colourful flag being made entirely out of real pieces of M&Ms! While I was there, no one could resist not taking a photo in front of it. There are also portraits of M&M royalty, which most kids would find fascinating.  

As soon as you enter the museum, you are surrounded by the most beautiful atmosphere and high glass ceiling. The museum is easy to navigate along with guidance from the help desk on the ground floor. There are many historic sections of the museum, including Ancient Egypt, Africa, Greek and Roman Sculptures, North America, Roman Britain, and Money. 

I've always loved the gift shops at the British Museum. You can buy lovely Swarovski pens, British Museum chocolates, history knowledge books, stationary, novelty items such as key rings and jewellery, British teabags, biscuits, and historic toys. 

Word of advice: try and use the toilet before you leave for the museum, or even use the toilets if you're purchasing something from one of the cafes across the road. The queue for the toilets at the British Museum is beyond ridiculous; I waited 45 minutes to use the toilet, and that was on a weekday. Maybe that's just for the female toilets, however. 

The British Museum is free for all, and is easy to access via various London tube stations, including Russell Square, Tottenham Court Road, and Holborn. 

Here is an image of the largest ever photograph of the Royal Family that exists, and is placed above the Thames near Blackfriar's Bridge.

The photo was displayed in celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee this year, and measures 330ft by 230ft!

Going on a Thames Cruise or river boat ride will guarantee you an amazing view of this photo!
