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 […]

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.
I really like Seven Dials Market, and not just cos its a stone’s throw away from my work. It’s actually an ex-banana warehouse, but instead of this just being a footnote in history, the market actually celebrates these beginnings by plastering a banana motif over just about everything. I love it 🍌🍌🍌🍌
Last night, I went to Ikoyi, a West-African inspired fine dining restaurant based near Piccadilly in London, for a mammoth 10-course blind tasting menu.
Fabrique is a Swedish-inspired bakery that has a couple of locations in London, and luckily (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), has a location based right next to my office!
Afternoon teas are well known to be one of my favourite pastimes, but personally I think they go up to a whole new level when its Christmas time. In 2017, we started the tradition of going to an afternoon tea in December in the lead up to Xmas by visiting the Sanderson. While last year […]
