For weeks now I have been hearing about how great pie, mash and liquor is so I finally plucked the courage and decided to pencil in a date for sampling this traditional London dish. A group of us researched the web for the perfect spot to enjoy a plate of pie, mash and liquor.

In the last couple of weeks I’ve read loads of articles in the newspapers about fraud being committed in the United Kingdom and it has made me realize that I’ve become relaxed when it comes to protecting my hard earned money.

Not that I like the tube, it’s dusty and hot but I will use it if I absolutely have to. I have now traveled at all times of the day to give you a low down of my experiences and hope they benefit you when you travel around London.

A week before Christmas I received a text message from friends inviting me with to go explore the new Westfield in Stratford.
