It was only my second day in London, and we had already packed a full day with off-beat touristy activities like spending three hours in Sotheby’s drooling over a lifetime’s collection of Freddie Mercury’s earthly possessions. As luck would have it, our walk home brought us within the vicinity of one of London’s true Hidden Gems for fans of art and assorted weirdness. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the Mosaic House.

This morning, I was walking to my office when a guy dressed in full on Chef Whites handed me what I thought was a takeout menu, but which turned out to be a copy of Food Truck Magazine.
