[@PrestonKrista]

Another topnotch film guys! So tempted to pull the trigger and buy tickets to head over to London right now and check out these spots! London's food scene has grown immensely since we've lived there from 2010-12! It's an exercise in restraint to not be impulsive since you guys do a damn good, convincing job by producing such fantastic films that makes us want to throw caution to the wind.

[@topjaw]

Honestly, the food and drink scene in London is unbelievably good, we're super spoilt here.
