But traveling does not mean that you would be safe. Escaping from our job and other stressful activities is just something that w
If you're staying in accommodation in South Kensington and looking for an authentic taste of London, you might want to look for a London "beigel" (pronounced "by-gel" with a hard 'G'). Note, it’s NOT the same thing as the US Bagel!A bit of London historyFor centuries, London has attracted immigrants and refugees. Many of those have traditionally headed for the East End of London, somewhere that socially used to be a million miles away from leafy and affluent accommodation in South Kensington.One part of the East End that directly adjoins the City of London itself is an area known as ‘Stepney’, and specifically Spitalfields. Always attractive to immigrants, it was home to Huguenot (French Protestant) refugees in the 17th and 18th centuries, then Jews from Eastern Europe in the 19th, followed up by Bangladeshis in the 20th.Today the area is changing again and becoming increasingly gentrified and very trendy. That’s not too surprising given it’s just a few minutes' stroll to the heart of the commercial centre of the City. So, what is a beigel?The beigel owes its London origins to the Jewish immigrants and refugees of the 19th century, or perhaps even earlier. This is something that’s clearly related to today’s usually mass produced and far blander US bagel, but it’s a fairly distant cousin in taste terms.The beigel is cooked in the traditional Jewish fashion, including immersion in boiling water, with the result that it’s far less dense than the regular incarnation of the bagel. The texture is also completely different, although that’s not easy to be specific about in writing! What really makes it different though is the effect on one’s taste buds; the beigel has taste and flavour and isn’t just vaguely bread-tasting. It’s unique and again, there’s no way to describe it other than saying, "try one!"Where to find one?Even today, the London beigel is more commonly associated with the East End than the western side of town. However, you will be able to find them in specialist delis near your accommodation in South Kensington. But the legendary Beigel Bakery in London is in Brick Lane (Spitalfields), in the East End. The bakery is largely a take-away establishment, although you can eat in if you’re prepared to stand up leaning against a little shelf!The bakery is open 24/6 and you can get your fill of freshly cooked beigel with fantastic Jewish delicacies such as pickled herring, smoked salmon with cream cheese and the incomparably delicious hot salt beef with pickle. If you’d like a very different, but also very London (albeit imported), cultural food experience you simply have to try and get there to sample some of their produce. Brick Lane is easily accessible from your accommodation in South Kensington by Tube or bus, and, as it is directly adjacent to the City of London’s easternmost gate, you can pop in easily if you’re visiting the Tower of London, Barbican or Museum of London.
