london part ii

1st stop: long acre at covent garden, next to the sun tavern



leanne exploring the apartment when we first got there.


the bed that the 3 of us share

the dining room where we feast on four seasons roast duck and zizzi pizzas with shireen, dennis, beatrice, hui2, tze bin and xi yue


2nd stop: marquess' apartment in smith street, kings road


happy leanne!



we were really happy with the decision to rent a short stay apartment. we stayed at long acre in covent garden for the first leg. it was a very newly nicely done up apartment -such a pleasure to stay there. we stayed at smith street in chelsea, king's road in the return leg. the apartment is older but filled with paintings and photos of the owner's family. it's owned by a marquess.
leanne could sleep in the bedroom while we relax in the lounge and we could also cook dinners for leanne for some nights. she liked the soup i concocted: monkfish in celery, courguette and corn soup. though our european friends used to scorn at the vegetables in london saying they were tasteless compared to their home countries; the uk produce taste a lot better than what we get in singapore; especially the organic food which costs only a fraction higher.
