When I traveled to Spain, I had a layover in London on the way in and the way out. So I had a bit of time to sample the local cuisine.

Straight off the plane at Gatwick, I boarded a train into London, and ended up at the Gourmet Burger Kitchen, which was some kind of import from New Zealand and had some decent grub.

On the way home I had an overnight layover, and I stayed in a rather nice hotel in Westminster. The staff was Eastern European Slavs. I asked about places to eat, and it turned out that the entire street offered restaurants, so I grabbed some fish & chips and a ginger beer, and some fruit from a convenience store.

In the morning, the hotel offered a "continental breakfast" as we call it in the States, so it was complimentary and basically all-you-can-eat.

It featured delicious fare and was quite satisfying. There was melon and cereal and milk to drink and tea. I was happy with that and it was a a good send-off before the airport. I am very thankful for meals like that, which are included in the cost of the hotel room, because it definitely saves time and expenses from going to find a restaurant.
