It is our tradition to do a festive afternoon tea at a Central London hotel just before Christmas. Last year, it was Fortnums, and in previous years we have also done The Savoy and The Sanderson. But, I have never ever ever been to The Ritz for an afternoon tea so this year, this was […]
This weekend, Lu and I travelled down to Victoria station to take a very special train – the British Belmond Pullman train – for a round trip around the Kent countryside whilst enjoying a luxurious afternoon tea! Belmond are known for their hyper luxurious experiences so I was very much looking forward to what promised […]
I was super excited to go to an afternoon tea at the luxurious Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge, not least because the hotel is lovely, but because the afternoon tea there is excitingly fashion themed called Pret-a-Portea! Cute! Putting two of my favourite things together sounded like a no brainer, so I enlisted my friend Angelica […]
For Lu’s birthday, I whisked her away into Central London for a weekend of pampering, good food, shopping and cocktails! We stayed at The Beaumont primarily because of its fantastic proximity to the shops but with still feeling like its tucked away in a private corner of London. A cool thing about The Beaumont is […]
We visited Hakkasan in Hanway Place, just off the bustling Tottenham Court Road as part of Lu’s birthday weekend celebrations this year, and this entire mini review is going to be simply talking about how every single aspect of it was exceptional. Hakkasan is a Cantonese restaurant famed for its dim sum, beautiful cocktails and […]
Our friend Katie is getting married in a couple of weeks, and so to celebrate her with a little mini hen situation, we whisked her into central London to enjoy a beautiful Fortnum & Mason’s afternoon tea. First off, a disclaimer. We visited Fortnum & Mason during the height of Christmas shopping fever, so the […]
As a designer who makes digital artifacts all day long, I’m always drawn hugely to making things with my hands, and so for me, doing pottery feels hugely aspirational and exciting. Whilst making something out of clay has been on my life list for the longest time, somehow I had never gotten round to it, […]
I used to work around the corner from The Langham hotel and would walk past it twice a day, trying to peek in to see the splendour inside (and of course celeb-watch!) I had heard great things about the afternoon tea there, and so, as a mid-year pick-me-up, we decided to pop in to sample […]
As the year has progressed, and it became clear that we were not going to be able to celebrate our birthdays as planned, or go abroad for our planned special holiday, I started to hatch a plan to have some fun closer to home. The Grove hotel is a luxury hotel based on the outskirts […]
Dodging lockdowns like a ninja, I was really excited to be able to take my friend Angelica for a belated afternoon tea celebration at the Tiffany Blue Box cafe in Harrods! The entire cafe and afternoon tea menu is themed in the Tiffany blue, and so whilst I had of course heard excellent things about […]
