Stay | The Bingham Hotel, Richmond
Richmond is one of the loveliest neighbourhoods in London, or on the outskirts of it if we are being technically and geographically specific, it is in the borough of Richmond Upon Thames on either side of the famous river, and twenty minutes from central London. And it is home to the ever enchanting Bingham hotel.…

Walk Hyde Park
If there is one thing London has in abundance, bang in the middle of the city and does it so beautifully, its greenery. Parks! And of all the parks in all the land (dramatic enough?) Hyde Park is my favourite and dare I say, the most beautiful. It big and green and connects you to…

Getting Around
By Tube: is the quickest way to get you from point to point. It’s effective, its clean and fast. I always have a new found appreciation for the tube when I have been anywhere with less than stellar transport systems. This is not to say the tube is perfect but it is very good and…

London | Eat. Play. Stay.
I’ve lived in London, loved in London, suffered heartbreak in London and been a heartbreaker in London. I have made some of the most memorable memories in London. There is nowhere quite like it in the Western world. She’s big and loud and fun and small. She’s a ball of energy; the most intimate of…

Hamilton | The Greatest Show On Earth
Live shows. I am not a huge fan of them, I prefer my entertainment in HD, on a giant screen, from the comfort of a couch. But Hamilton is no ordinary show. We were meant to see this on Thanksgiving last year, which would have been so awesome but the theatre refurb wasn’t complete so…

London Town
There is a place in the capital, in central London, that overwhelms me with a great sense of London-ness, if that’s a thing. It is the epitome of London, in my opinion, as if introducing me to a city, big and beautiful. It’s a small space, in the round as you exit Piccadilly Circus station…

Buenos Aires – Steak & The Best Dessert. EVER.
On my way into work, most every morning I walk past a cluster of restaurants in a commercial alleyway with unassuming facades, smack in-between coffee shops and a DIY store, opposite a white wall. Unappealing. That’s often the thing I find wrong about Richmond, it has slowly become a victim of its own independence, so…
