London is iconic for it's Christmas decorations, I could spend a whole day going round just finding those! In Covent Garden there is their traditional 55ft Christmas Tree - apparently covered in 30,000 lights - WOW! and all the surrounding streets are decorated with lights too. Now not being one to pass on a chance to get the camera out, Covent Garden has also homed a vintage Morris Minor in the Piazza which has been decorated with lights, wreaths and presents.
Now wanting to explore the area, I did a little research before my travels - and heard about a lovely little cake shop, full of fresh hand baked treats. Sweetheart cakes looked stunning - and as soon as I walked in my mouth was watering. I stocked up on some Winter treats before heading off out into the cold again.
Me and food go hand in hand most of the time, so there was no way I wasn't going to grab some lunch, again I wanted to try somewhere I hadn't been before but because I am such a fussy eater it needed to still be basic. So I came across Maxwell's Bar & Grill, an American Diner and known for their Freakshakes and can I just add I am gutted I can't drink them, they look amazing - especially the unicorn one. I would definitely recommend a visit.
I have never truly realised how much there is in Covent Garden area, you could easily spend a whole day or two here alone without going further afield. This season especially there is a lot going on with Christmas at Covent Garden, whether you are travelling with friends or with the family.
