3 – PEGGY PORSCHEN CAKES

I think there are very few tourists who recently came to London and did not take photos in front of Peggy Porschen Cakes, the award-winning cupcake cafe for Instagram . Located in Chelsea, Peggy Porschen Cakes is so popular that there is a queue in front of it almost everytime. But queuing is a rituel in England, isn’t it? Is it worth to wait for those cute cupcakes? Definitely:)
