London city's markets date back to Roman times and today's markets filled with energy surrounded by wonderful architecture and bountiful with treasures will not disappoint. I’ve loved sharing some of London’s quirkiest small museums over the past few months. I’m nowhere near even describing half of them to you but I figured a pause might sharpen our appetites for more history, and what better than a little retail therapy?

Toasted crumpets, Dundee cake, and mince pies. When the fashionable new drink tea hit the salons of Georgian England, Christmas was in the doldrums. Smart people considered the holiday fit only for country bumpkins, and it was as much as the gentry could do to turn up to a festive gathering below stairs for the servants.

An exploration of the history of the British picnic and what wonderful treats such as Pimms and scotch eggs you should pack on your next outing.
Two images spring to mind when someone mentions the Great British Picnic. There’s the fantasy Glyndebourne repast peddled by the glossy magazines: luscious meadows, tables with white lace cloths and bowls of wildflowers, canapés, coddled trout, dressed lobster, roasted guineafowl, and champagne in a dew-beaded antique cooler.
