A Royal day out - part 1

After a lazy Saturday at home snoozing by the radiator & barking at the odd dog that passed by, I was quite ready for an explore on Sunday.

Threatening to snow, my owners thought it best I wore my scarf.  I quite like my scarf, although not sure about that giant red pom pom thing at the end....





A short car journey later & we arrived at our destination - Royal Teas cafe in Greenwich (South East London). A quaint little cafe, situated in the residential district, away from the main busy tourist sights.




Its slightly hidden location means its frequented by locals & very rarely do tourists stumble across it. Good job, as its very small/cosy in here & its often hard to get a table as it is. So, be prepared to wait. However, in the summer the cafe gets a bit bigger, as there are also a few tables out the front - a great place to sit & watch the world (& its dogs) go by.





Today we had a fantastic table at the back of the cafe, near to the kitchen, which meant I had a wonderful view (& smell) of the food being bought out to the customers. There was also another dog in the cafe too - a HUGE one that suddenly appeared at our table at one point, without its owner - this cafe is pretty relaxed, as you can probably tell & everytime we've been there's been another dog in here.

My owners like this slightly quirky & atmospheric cafe, which is reasonably priced & serves basic dishes with a good range of veggie options. 







They tried the scrambled egg & smoked salmon served with toast & couldn't resist the cakes that were displayed right next to our table...don't blame them really - they did look mouth-watering good.
