Did you know, Londoners love to shorten words? 👀⁣ Breakfast becomes ‘brekkie’ and Café becomes ‘Caf’. ⁣ ⁣ @alwaysbrunch took us on a morning trip to Angel the perfect spot for a ‘delish’ bit of ‘brekkie’ at @jolene_colebrookerow. This local bakery & restaurant is famous for its daily menu (we have a soft spot for their danishes), huge sandwiches and its commitment to helping regenerative food growers. 👏⁣ ⁣ What are your go-to spots (and fav' words)? 🤩

✨ Alternative London attractions ✨⁣ London is packed with famous tourist attractions, but we think it’s time to explore something a bit more unique. Our London local @thefoodbaddie has been on the hunt to find some lesser known spots, all a short trip from London Victoria Station. 👀⁣ ⁣ 📍Britain's Smallest Police Station, Trafalgar Square - Just a 13 minutes tube, and you’ll spot this peculiar police station. Surprisingly, this tiny box can accommodate 2 prisoners, so be on your best behaviour. ⁣ ⁣ 📍The Thin House, South Kensington - Only 7 minute tube away, this insanely skinny house is a shocking 6ft wide. We want to know who lives there...⁣ ⁣ 📍Little Ben, Victoria - Just across the road from the station stands Big Ben’s little brother. Painted black red and gold, this Gothic style clock tower is just as impressive as his iconic brother. ⁣ ⁣ What hidden gems have you spotted around town? 🕵️⁣

Psst… We found one of the most hidden cafés in Paris 🇫🇷📍@leshackparis 🛋️ Le Shack is a mix of the coolest cafe (with tons of books), restaurant, cocktail bar, co-working space, music gigs and a wellness oasis! This piece of heaven is located in the heart of the 9th Arrondissement. 🕵️To find the entrance you will need to go to building number 4 and continue down the Parisian looking impasse Sandrie, opposite the Opéra Garnier. 🚽 Make sure to make a detour to the toilets, trust us. What’s your favourite hidden gem? 👀 🎥 @justtravellingby
