Walks Of London
London is an incredibly walkable city and although I still maintain the best way to see it is from the River, walking is the second best way to do so. There are a number of tours to introduce you to London but one I have taken time and again is with Walks of London who…

Day Trip | London to Basel and Back in Eight hours
Basel. A major hub for France, Germany and Switzerland… I think this is one of the coolest airports in Europe because of its reach. One end takes you within an hour of Paris and the other takes you a bus ride into Switzerland and the middle bit takes you forty-five minutes into Freiburg pretty fascinating.…

Eat | Min Jiang Kensington- Come For The Food, Stay For The Views
Nestled at the top of one of my favourite hotels in London with the most precious views of the capital is what is in my opinion, the best Chinese restaurant in London. Min Jiang is on the tenth floor of the Royal Garden Hotel, right next door to Kensington Palace, with views of the Palace…

Eat | Padella, London Bridge

The East End | Dark Sugars: THE BEST HOT CHOCOLATE…EVER!
That’s a big pronouncement considering I am not a huge fan of hot drinks even in the winter but this is coming from very reliable sources and purveyors of hot drinks; five years olds and some grown folks, whom I have often taken to this fine establishment and they have proclaimed it to be so.…

Richmond Along the River & Through The Park
As I’ve often said, London has the best in-between season. Some years its only a sliver of hope and other years, its a proper season, the colours are full and rich, the air is that slant of perfection, that place we want it to stay forever. And wandering around Richmond can make this feel extra…

Eat | The Ivy Café, Richmond
Perhaps the best thing about a restaurants is making a point of returning again, and again and trying some of the old favourites, looking forward to a particular meal and being fairly certain of a good time regardless of the company. The Ivy Café in Richmond is such a restaurant. The food is good, not…
