Day 5 in London


Having breakfast at Fifteen, Jamie Oliver's restaurant Posted by Hello

We slept in today, and having just come off a night shift block before vacation, I think it was the first time I’ve slept eight hours in almost two weeks. It felt good.

Since we missed breakfast at the hotel, we went to Fifteen instead. This is the restaurant Jamie Oliver (the Naked Chef) founded with 15 underprivileged youths whom he trained to be chefs. Breakfast was pretty standard fare, but it was done very well, and the restaurant’s interior had a sleek retro dark wood look.

After breakfast, we went to the half price ticket stand to buy tickets to a musical. When we got out of the Tube station, it was raining hard, so the line wasn’t too long. We settled on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Surprisingly, there wasn’t really much to see except things like the Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables.
