London | Where to Eat on a Budget 

LONDON

Dearest Gentle Reader,

It is with the greatest pleasure that I invite you on an enchanting journey through the most sparkling locales that our beloved England has to offer. Prepare yourself for a tour de force that shall transport you into the very heart of the Regency (and Victorian) era, an experience meticulously curated to delight and dazzle even the most discerning of travelers.

Our grand adventure commences with a two-day guide galavanting through the illustrious city of London. There you shall meander through the hallowed halls, lush gardens, royal palaces, and more, much akin to the grand ballrooms and picturesque parks that set the stage for many a dramatic encounter. 

From there, we shall whisk you away to the quaint yet opulent city of Bath. Here, you will bask in the elegance of the Roman Baths and promenade through the grandiose Assembly Rooms, where one might imagine the whispers of courtship and intrigue still linger in the air.

Next, the venerable seat of academia, Oxford, awaits your presence. You shall wander its cobblestone streets and explore its ancient colleges, each corner offering a glimpse into the storied past and romantic escapades worthy of our beloved series. As part of your visit, we will provide exclusive entry into an Oxford Ball, a soiree where you shall need your finest attire to mingle with the crème de la crème of society.

Our journey shall culminate in the idyllic Cotswolds, a tapestry of rolling hills and charming villages that promise an immersion in bucolic splendor. You shall visit the acclaimed Blenheim Palace and take in the serene beauty of the English countryside, feeling every bit the lord or lady of the manor.

With every step, you will trace the footsteps of our most beloved characters, visiting the very places where their stories unfolded. This is no ordinary excursion, but rather an invitation to live out your own Bridgerton fantasy, complete with all the opulence and elegance that befits a member of the ton.

Yours most sincerely,

Lady Whistledown

Discovering London

Bancone Covent Garden

Bancone is probably my next go-to for pasta in London! Famous for their silk handkerchiefs, walnut butter, and confit egg yolk pasta (check it out on their Instagram), their other pastas (especially their winter menu with truffle) have been excellent! 

Their portion sizes are slightly larger than Padella and is always a delicious hearty meal.  

There are two branches of Bancone, one in Covent Garden and one in Golden Square.

This was one of the first places I went for dinner when I got to London to study abroad. The quality is GREAT for the price. Would absolutely recommend for a casual sit-down lunch or dinner that's still very good. 

A charming Italian Eatery & Michelin Bib recipient. Stop for pasta (including gluten free options woohoo!) & a glass of Prosseco (it is 5 o'clock somewhere, after all). Bancone opens daily at noon.

Bancone make fresh, hand-made pasta inspired by Italy, London and much of Europe, every day. 
Their entrees range from £9-17 per plate.
