Posted on Oct 19, 2014

Best Breakfast in London

Posted on Oct 12, 2014

Upon the advice of a dear friend who once lived in London, I tried Kensington Square Kitchen for breakfast. I was told it was the best breakfast in London! My friend was right! The restaurant is painted a very pleasing shade of green so I instantly felt relaxed upon entering. We were quickly seated and our orders taken by a very pleasant person.
