Back in London with Emily - January 2013

We still had one full day to go until Emily flew out so we packed it with as many things as possible. Started with Harry Potter Studio Tours- a tour of where the movies were filmed with a heaps of sets and props. They even had the great hall still set up. There's only 2 places in the world that serve Butterbeer...now I've been to both! (The other is Orlando, Florida). Definitely recommend the studio yours for any Harry Potter fans out there.

We followed this by a Mad Hatters High Tea at the 5 star Sanderson hotel. It was incredible. Great set up (see photos)

We then headed to Oxford street for a bit of a shop for a couple of hours before heading to our final destination for the day "Dinner by Heston Blumenthal". Heston is a celebrity chef that cooks all sorts of amazing and incredibly quirky foods. We could only get a 9:45pm booking, but got there early for a cocktail at the bar. Such an amazing cocktail list...but very pricey so we just stuck to one.

The dinner was delicious and worth the money for the experience. We had the famous 'meat fruit' for our entree. I then had a beef steak for the main and Em and I share a delicious 'tipsy cake' for dessert. Accompanied by a nice bottle of red. Such a fantastic day and great way to spend time with Emily before she left the following day. It was so good having Em come to visit and so sad for her to leave!
