This week I’ve been writing about how to avoid decision fatigue and plan your week to avoid getting stressed out and tired.
If you follow me on Snapchat you’ll know I eat at Leon for lunch most days.
Of all the places to go near the office, Leon is the best option for me. Here’s why I love it so.
It used to be the case that if you were going out to eat in Brixton, you were looking for Caribbean food and it was during the day – Healthy Eaters on Electric Avenue is my favourite place for jerk chicken, plus it’s walking distance from Ruach City Church.
