Chinatown – Londres, Inglaterra

Between Spain & Portugal, Madrid & Lisboa…

Em Londres temos que comer Fish & Chips e dizem que o melhor é o do Poppies, prémios e elogios não lhe faltam. Não somos especialistas na matéria nem andámos a provar todos da cidade mas foi sem dúvida o melhor que comemos no de Spitafields, com um suculento peixe envolto numa fritura crocante com porções para gente com muita mas muita fome. Além disso o Poppies tem história, foi fundado por Pop Newland em 1952 exatamente neste bairro numa altura em que Londres ainda recuperava da II Guerra.
In London we have to eat Fish & Chips and say the best is the Poppies, awards and accolades recommend it. We are not experts in the field or we weren’t tasting all of the city but it was certainly the best we eat in this on in Spitalfields, with a juicy fish wrapped in crispy fried batter with servings for people that must be very hungry. Also the Poppies has history, was founded by Pop Newland in 1952 exactly in this neighborhood at a time when London was still recovering from World War II.







The largest Ferris Wheel in Europe offers great views of London from its 135 meters high and say that the best time to visit is in the sunset or at night to see the city lights. It was inaugurated in 2000 and is sponsored by Coca-Cola, contains thirty-two capsules quite spacious, air conditioned and with information (in several languages) about what we are seeing. You do need to find the ideal time to “embark” because the queues are extensive but from our experience they go fast.

The ticket is bought on the building that is on the left side of the Ferris wheel, we made the mistake of buying a combined with the Madame Tussaud (error because we did not save money or escaped the queues). After purchasing the tickets we watched a 4D film about the London Eye following a seagull flying through the city.
It was about twenty minutes waiting to get inside one of their cocoons with about a dozen people and simply enjoy the view. South Bank, Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, skyscraper Shard are a part of what we see and how we went at sunset making it a more interesting touch. And what impressed me most was the stability of the cabin and I who am not the biggest fan of heights felt completely at ease, I would say it was one of the things I liked best in London.

Londres tem história, tem arquitetura, tem diversidade, tem realeza, tem museus grátis, parques que nunca mais acabam. Tem tanto para fazer que um fim de semana nunca será suficiente, foi por isso que no Verão de 2015 decidimos virar costas ao calor e aproveitar o clima mais fresco de esta cidade. Ficou muito para ver e a certeza de voltar para ir completando este guia que é muito curto quando comparo com tudo o que Londres tem para oferecer.
