Touchdown : The Belgian Embassy in London
Grosvenor Crescent 17, Is an important address for all unhandy people who are fast in loosing their belongings - Like me - I lost everything from my wallet to ID, bankcards, etc. The only way I could leave England was with an urgent travel document, that I had to obtain at the Belgian embassy. The plan was to stay 3 days in LDN City but in stead my trip was extended to 5 days because of my loss. Too bad I lost my stuff. On the other hand I was glad to stay longer in London. I had the time to explore the many London boroughs.
Touchdown : London Victoria Station
If I'd knew that Victoria Station was near the Belgian Embassy my life would be simple in LDN. Instead of getting off the bus at the Victoria Station, I got off the bus at Hyde Park near Park lane and walked like 20 minutes to the embassy. It was only later that day I realized it was 10 minutes from Victoria station. Damn, those #touristfails .
I was ready to take off now. I got my oyster card to take the underground everywhere and discover beautiful and busy busy London. Because I like to stay connected with different cultures and international menswear trends.
This London Guide will walk you through my journey in London. I discovered many cool clothing stores, cafes, event-galleries, etc. The SAATCHI event-gallery on Kings Road, the flagship stores on Regent Street, The chic corners on Piccadilly and more ... while wandering through the different London boroughs.
Touchdown : SAATCHI GALLERY on Kings Road ( London )
Welcome to Reiss. One of the cool store I discovered on Kings road. The Reiss style is rather casual to chic menswear. I got to know Reiss via I Am Galla . The people there were so nice to me. Telling the brands story and presenting the collection from the moment I told them I was a blogger from Belgium. You gotta love the #BlogLife.
Shoutout to my L'occitane hand-creme that got my back me through thick and thin. I easily have dry hands so I use this hand creme to keep the skin moisturized. Get yours here.
The funniest thing about London is that I randomly was bumping into fellow male bloggers I talk to on Instagram. I came across Vincent Messina. He's a fellow Menswear blogger and men's fashion accessories online store owner Cosmopolite Style, living in London. We've been following each others blog and grams for a while now and ran into each other. It was nice finally meeting in real life and have a little blog chat.

Touchdown : Regent Street
Touchdown : PICCADILLY Circus
When walking on Piccadilly I came across this small gallery that connects Regent street to Piccadilly. It has many classy shops and cute tea rooms, etc. Don't miss it #WhenInLondon.
For the heavy alcoholics amongst you , I hope you don't come across the Whisky shop on Piccadilly. You will go crazy haha. They have different scotches / whiskys of different calibers and tastes. Presented in a very high-end and rich scenery. I took one for home with me. I Couldn't resist not doing so.
Touchdown: Oxford Street
