Kensington

11-Jul-2015 • London England

After check in at Kensington Close Hotel, our London Hotel, Marc and I went out to explore the neighborhood and I must say, Kensington is one neat place. It was quite commercial too with stores like Marks and Spencers, Uniqlo, Massimo Dutti, TK Maxx, and more nearby. I would certainly like to make Kensington as our base should we return anytime soon.

I do remember it being close to 6 pm when we reached the hotel and the stores were closing rather early that day. We were getting hungry and after seeing a Japanese fast food place, the WASABI chain, a block away from Kensington Close, I knew I wanted some. We had been eating all English up until that point and I was hungry for Asian, any Asian food badly. Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, anything with rice!
