Listen Later

Heyo, weirdos! We missed you. Yes, we know it’s only been a week. That’s fine! Join us as we head to a city we both love, London! As likely the only international city both Jordan and Chelsea have been to, we both have a lot to say about the area. We’re in love with it, what can we say? Wikipedia research coming in hot for today’s story, the Barnes mystery. Haven’t heard of it? A woman decided murder was a good way to deal with a difficult employer. 

Notable Show Moments
  • 11:10 — We’re heading to LUN-DON! 

  • 16:43 — Things to do

  • 40:02 — Time for some murder

  • 00:00 — This next week is about to be good

What We’re Drinking Today
  • Gin & Tonic — Jordan insists they are delicious. Chelsea does not. 

  • Strongbow Original Dry Cider — A little sweet for us, but not entirely terrible!

Food & Drinks
  • Bangers & Mash — Sausage and potaotes. Likely the best comfort food to ever exist.

  • Fish & Chips — A British Classic.

  • Meat Pies — Not the kind from Sweeney Todd.

  • Shepherd’s Pie — Ground beef and veggies soaked in a broth topped with mashed potatoes and cheese.

  • Traditional English Breakfast — Eggs, sausage links, baked beans, sauteed mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, toast, and black pudding (aka blood sausage that uses *real* blood).

  • Afternoon Tea — Scones. Pastries. Finger sandwiches. Yum.

  • Cask Beer — Room-temperature beer, aka a local favorite.

  • Indian Food — Due to the high Indian population, this cuisine is very popular and delish.

  • Patisserie Valerie — A local chain good for croissants and pastries.

  • Nando’s Chicken — A local chain with peri peri sauce. Click here to view Ed Sheeran’s freestyle song honoring this restaurant.

  • Wagamama — Local Asian chain with fancy conveyor belts that have replaced traditional waitstaff.

  • Pret-A-Manger — Local chain like Jimmy John’s but BETTER.

Places to Visit
  • Tower of London — Everybody who was anybody was beheaded here.

  • Parliament — Huge golden building where the British political leaders meet. Also Big Ben lives here.

  • Westminster Abbey — Huge gothic-style building where many dead royals are buried.

  • Buckingham Palace — Official residence of British royals. Keep an eye out for the queen’s corgis.

  • London Eye — That eye in the sky you see in every postcard of London’s skyline.

  • Fictional Fandom Tours — If you’re a nerd, there’s a tour for you. Harry Potter. Sherlock Holmes. Alice in Wonderland. Downton Abbey. Pick One.

  • Warner Bros. Studios — The site where Chelsea got engaged to her fab husband.

  • Camden Market — Local shopping with food stall vendors representing different countries.

  • British Museum — A museum surprisingly not about Britain at all.
