A wonderful end to a birthday weekend eating and drinking my way through London.

London, as seen on runs and walkabouts throughout the city.

Happy birthday dinner to me at Blacklock Shoreditch | @blacklockchops, one of my favorite places in London for a solid steak, especially for Butcher Price Monday when every cut is £8 per 100g (normally £11 for prime rib).

Happy (actual) birthday lunch to me at ⭐️⭐️ Dinner by Heston Blumenthal | @dinnerbyhb, a meal I am glad I got to experience before they close in January.

Living my best early aughts life by seeing Jimmy Eat World | @jimmyeatworld at Crystal Palace Bowl | @palacebowlpresents perform a complete playthrough of Bleed American in honor of its 25th anniversary.

A wonderful start of a long weekend eating and drinking my way through London.

Happy early birthday to me (this time with friends) at ⭐️ Sabor | @sabor_ldn.

Got to Frank’s Cafe at Bold Tendencies | @boldtendencies just in time to watch the sun set over London.

Happy early birthday to me at Hausu | @hausu_london.

I had a solid stay at the 100 Queen's Gate Hotel London Kensington | @100queensgate, thanks to being Hilton Honors Diamond and booking it through the American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts program, the latter more so for the $300 off due to the Platinum Card semi-annual credit than anything else among the program’s benefits. Still, can’t complain about getting free breakfast, a welcome drink, and blowing the £75 credit on a bottle of bubbly.

London, as seen walking just about everywhere over a long weekend.

Lunch at ⭐️ HIDE | @hide_restaurant.

Spent my last morning in London and, since I was staying nearby, finally visited the Victoria and Albert Museum | @vamuseum in South Kensington.

A wonderful long weekend eating and drinking my way through London.

Dinner at Rogues | @rogues_ldn.

Not the result we were looking for, is the kindest way to put it.

A wonderful (second) three days eating and drinking my way through London.
