Your Morning Routine: London Edition

Layla London's Morning Joe isn't just about coffee and exploring; it’s about building a routine that sets you up for a great day. Let’s talk about the perfect London morning routine. A good morning routine can really set the tone for your whole day, right? It's your chance to get centered, energized, and ready to tackle whatever London throws your way. Now, a London morning routine might look a little different than in other places, thanks to the hustle and bustle of the city. So, I'm going to give you some ideas and inspiration to create a routine that fits your lifestyle and helps you thrive in this amazing city. The first thing is to think about the wake-up. Yes, that alarm clock! London mornings can start early, especially if you're commuting. I'm a firm believer in making the most of those precious morning hours. That might mean waking up before the city wakes up, giving you some quiet time to yourself before the day gets going. Getting out of bed is the hardest part. But once you are out of bed, you can start with a refreshing splash of cold water to wake you up. Then, get the coffee going. Trust me, a good coffee shop is essential for any Londoner. But sometimes, there's nothing better than a nice cup of coffee at home.

Then, it is important to make your way to your coffee shop and embrace the vibrant energy of the city. Many of us start the day with a quick check of emails or social media. But consider setting some time aside to spend time on a quick reflection, or simply enjoying the moment with a cup of coffee. I also recommend finding an activity that you enjoy doing in the morning. It could be some light stretching, a quick workout, a walk in the park, or reading. We have so many green spaces in London, and I always love taking the time to visit them in the mornings. This helps me to feel refreshed and invigorated before heading out into the city. If you are commuting, then it may be a good idea to use your time efficiently. Whether that is through reading a book, listening to a podcast or catching up with friends. And there’s no denying that London mornings involve a lot of walking. So whether it is walking to the Tube or exploring a market, be prepared to do a lot of walking. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella and your jacket. The weather in London can be unpredictable. And don’t forget to be present, and soak up all the experiences of London. Take the time to admire the architecture, the people, and the vibrant energy of the city. Each morning is a new opportunity, so take the time to live it fully.

How easy is it to get there? Is it close to the Tube, or is it a bit off the beaten path? And the value for money. Is the coffee priced fairly? Do they offer any specials or deals? Also, if you're looking for a place to work, or connect with others, is there good WiFi? What about seating? I also believe there should be a wide variety of coffee and food.
