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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Core by Clare Smyth is a two Michelin starred restaurant, nestled away in Notting Hill, and is hands down one of my favourite restaurants in London. Not only is Clare Smyth (a recipient of the World’s Best Female Chef Award!) at the helm, but literally everything about is perfection. The restaurant is small and understated […]
The Chiltern Firehouse has a reputation of being a bit of a celeb hotspot, and as with many places that have been frequented by celebs, I was worried that it would be overpriced for no real reason. However, after hearing some good reviews from friends, we decided to put our prejudices aside and give it […]
We had a restaurant reservation for quite a while to go to the acclaimed Hide Above restaurant by Ollie Dabbous, in Green Park. With everything going on with COVID, we really weren’t sure if we should still go, but we decided to go via taxi to minimise interactions and to hope that the restaurant would […]
Every few weeks, me and a couple of my close girlfriends from work go out somewhere in London to gossip, vent and laugh as much as possible 🤗. It’s an event that we plan in advance, and we try to hit up someplace different every time.
