A few weekends ago Rob and I both took a couple of days off work so we ended up having a long weekend off together. The aim for the weekend was to tackle our disgraceful front garden. On Friday the weather was lovely and we spent a food few hours tending to the garden. We retired very early on Friday night, I fell asleep at 7.30pm! Gardening is tiring. We had the same plan for Saturday. I went off to the gym in the morning and then met Carys for a coffee afterwards. I called Rob on the way back and he suggested we go to London for the day I didn't need much persuading. Gardening is not my favourite thing to do, it was cold and also started raining. The idea of burgers and milkshakes was A LOT more appealing.
As our trip to London was pretty spontaneous and we didn't really have any plans. However, most of our trips to London contain burgers for lunch. I had heard good things about Rox Burgers in Lewisham, South London, so thats where we headed. It was pretty far away but that meant we could have a little tour of London on the DLR!
I really love going on the DLR. There are so many sights that the times just flies by. The DLR to Lewisham took us through the financial district and we also saw lots of the landmarks including the Shard, the Pickle Gherkin and the o2. Of course we had to take a DLR selfie.
We arrived in Lewisham in no time. The burger joint was only a five minute walk from the station. However, the town centre is not the nicest of places so we didn't hang around. Rox burger is an independent burger joint. As with most trendy burger places the menu isn't particularly varied but they do burgers well - so what else do you need!
Rob had the blue burger (lots of cheese, but not that much blue cheese) and I had the cheeseburger with extra pickles. The extra pickles were a good choice! We also shared a side of fries. The house fries had parmesan cheese and oregano on them. They were skin on fries and were actually pretty amazing - totally surpassed my expectations. The burgers were good. However, they weren't anything on my ultimate favourite - Patty and Bun. On the way home I wrote a list of all the burger places I have visited (there has been a few) and nothing comes close. I have definitely enjoyed trying all the burger places but I am looking forward to going back to Patty and Bun.
After our dinner we fancied something sweet. After a little googling we decided on Tinsel Town, purely for their milkshakes! Rob has a chocolate malt shake and I went for a chocolate peanut butter milkshake. They were so yummy.
