For Twinkle Khanna, London may as well be considered another home. At 50, the actress-turned-writer pursued higher studies at the cosmopolitan hub. But everyone knows, higher education in London is not restricted to books alone. Scooping some time out from her academics, she engaged in an “on-the-road interview with Vogue” exploring her favourite spots in the city. In the Instagram video, she showed viewers some of her top UK hotspots that could easily be on anyone's travel itinerary. Her list started with the London Review Bookshop as she said, “What I really like about this place is they have a little section where they have all the Booker winners,” she said. For a “great cup of coffee,” Twinkle Khanna rests her faith in the hands of good folks at Farm Girl Cafe. Some of her other favourite spots were the graffiti-laden Banksy wall, Alice's antique store, McQueen's Flowers at Mayfair, HamYard Hotel, and Titu Restaurant. Well, one could definitely consider these recommendations when travelling to London.
