Flower Power
Ahhhh-choo! Ahhhh-choo!
Yes, sorry, that was us… pass a tissue, would you? There’s been a lot of sneezing going on in the ViewLondon headquarters lately – sadly, it’s the biggest and baddest side effect to the lovely weather we’ve been having (most of the time, anyway). We love the blue sky, the sun, the lack of coats… if only May wasn’t so… pollen-y!
Right now London is in the midst of the biggest celebration of springtime there is – the Chelsea Flower Show. Flowers are lovely and all, but we’re a bit divided on whether it’s best to go to the show or not. We have to admit, instead of the green fingers that several lucky ViewLondoners are blessed …

Well, they’re just a bit confused, really – how can you dedicate a whole week to… lettuce?
But if you are of the carnivorous breed, never fear. Vegetarian food isn’t just alfalfa sprouts and tofu anymore – just look at Saf, the new raw food restaurant in Shoreditch. Beetroot and cheese ravioli, mushroom croquettes, brownie sundaes – yum. There are loads …

Depending on who you ask, snails are either the height of sophistication or absolutely revolting. And National Snail Day (yes, even titchy little snails get their own national day) is coming up on 24th May, so, like it or not, it’s time to start getting ready to celebrate the squidgy little suckers.
Love ‘em or hate ‘em – or never even tried ‘em – snails are firmly ensconced on the London foodie scene, especially as we have so many …
