Airbnb Eurotour Stops in London

London proved to be the perfect halfway point on our second European tour. Our meetup was the biggest yet - filled with inspiring hosts and travelers coming together from all around the world. Take a look at our lowdown on London!


A Treat to Eat: A Love Blossom Tea at the Landmark Hotel

This tea is unlike any we had ever seen. It is steeped by placing a flower bud in hot water that releases a subtle jasmine flavor while it blooms. The name is either derived from the beauty of the flower or the patience required to fully bloom - we’ll let you decide. Combined with our decrusted sandwiches and tower of mini pastries, this afternoon tea gets 5 stars (can we give 6?) from the Airbnb team!

A Sight to See: The English Countryside from a Train

We escaped the hustle and bustle of the city and hopped a train from Kings Cross to the English countryside near St. Ives. There we were greeted with green fields, canals, and a traditional english roast complete with yorkshire pudding. Although not actually a pudding, its flaky crust is so satisfying you will call it whatever you're told. Make sure to try some while in England!

A Host to Meet: Paul in Poplar

From the moment you meet Paul you will feel at ease and begin laughing like old friends. His apartment boasts an accessible location, modern design, and a beautiful terrace to enjoy afternoon tea. However, the best part of staying with Paul is how he shares a worldly appreciation of music and travel. We can’t wait for you to see for yourself in his upcoming AirTV episode! Make sure to tune in every Thursday for a new episode!
