Czechoslovak restaurant

Wandering up from West Hampstead tube station gives you the impression that you're heading into a residential area and seems an unlikely setting for any sort of restaurant. And Czechoslovak does seem to have a bit of a private house feel about it mixed with old man pub. Which only adds to the slightly odd dining experience in my opinion.

The restaurant has a beer garden at the back for sunnier days (or hardy customers) but we sat in what was possibly the living room in times gone by. We had Langos, a delicious starter that could have been mind with condimentphiles like me in mind (ketchup, garlic, cheese AND tartar sauce!!!) along with Czech sausage. I had pork goulash for my main course with Czech dumplings, which were kind of like very soft absorbant slices of bread.

The Willesden Bookshop

This little bookshop in Willesden Green has children's books from a large range of countries including some I hadn't yet visited for my blog: Bosnia & Herzegovina,and Slovakia.

Looking though their online catalogue makes me wish I was a kid again so I could read books like this:
