CENTRAL LONDON
The city that knows how to do insane interiors and even better rooftop bars..
Their are so many good reasons to visit London. Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, London Eye and Big Ben (although he was getting a face lift at the time of our visit) – you could walk around the picturesque, insanely clean streets all day and never lose interest.However, what about the places off the beaten “tourist” track. The places that only the locals know well and the crowds won’t be found at. They are the places that Base Colour are interested in, and we’re sure they’ll be of interest to you too..WHERE TO EAT/DRINK.
