It was kind of a prompt decision to explore Oxford Circus and Covent Garden on my own for a day.
I didn't plan things out before hand and that was also part of the decision that I was going to have a more relaxed journey to visit a new place.
And that was it; I did this trip despite the fact that the weather didn't seem friendly in the morning.

Oxford Street is more of a trendy shopping paradise filled with an atmosphere of fashion especially during this big sale season, while Covent Garden is a place seems to be traditional, calm, relax, and a suitable place to enjoy a sip of coffee and afternoon tea.
I went in a cafe recommended by a blogger, ordered a "Flat-White" which I'd never had before.
As the shop owner explained to me it is made of double espresso with steamed milk which is quite similar to latte but tastes stronger, still the name attracted me to try it out.
I am a "coffeeholic," the word I made-up to describe people as a heavy coffee consumer.
I love not only the smell, the taste, but also the latte art, such as leaves, a swan, a bear, or even more creative ones that can only be seen from specific barista.
Sometimes I also find it interesting about coffee stains....
