Lifestyle: Greek Wedding

On Friday I headed down to London in the afternoon for the weekend. After a tiring 5 hour drive and many service stops we finally arrived at Theobalds park based in Cheshunt. When i had recently viewed tripadvisor for the reviews on the hotel i was quite unsure what to expect, scared, anxious as most of the reviews were dreadful. But what a surprise the hotel for the price at £25 each for bed and breakfast i could not fault it. The rooms were standard but modern, food was exceptional and the views and the hotel it self was beautiful. As we arrived so late on the Friday we headed down to Enfield to check out where the wedding was going to be held and get some food. a little taverna on the corner of enfields busy market streets was a hidden little gem called 'spitikos' What a fantastic restaurant.. from the food to the bouzouki and the lovely owners that gave us free drinks most of the night. The following day was ovcourse the big day! heading down to the Greek orthodox church and watching the most beautiful ceremony of Andy and Sophia's wedding vows. Later on that day around half 3 we then drove to the venue and what a surprise! it was outstandingly beautiful from the chandeliers to  the beautiful drapes, the bouquet of flowers on each individual table. everything about the venue had so much beautiful detail to it. I must mention the best thing about attending this wedding was not only witnessing such an amazing ceremony but the Greek bouzouki! i loved how all the family and friends would come together and take part in all the traditional Greek dancing.
I cannot wait to be back down in London, such lovely people, and i must mention so many Greeks!, the food, the lifestyle.

What do you guys think is good down in London?, any recommendations where to visit?
p.s Anyone down in London you must visit spitikos ! :)
