Especially for someone like me whose sentiments on cats can be summed up very concisely in this 2 minutes worth of video. Naturally a table was booked as soon …
Afternoon Tea At Biscuiteers
I am British therefore I like tea. And cake. Often served in ill-advised portions. This in turn means I love the chance to indulge in all things motherland with Afternoon Tea and was thrilled when I saw Emerald Street had brought back their 241 offers on the very such thing. Last year I went with …
A Columbia Road Sunday
Sundays in London are often an overwhelming affair. From markets to brunch, museums to parks; the opportunities to while the day away are endless. Recently I’ve started making a list of my “London to dos” so whenever a spare day arises I’ll have plenty of ideas to hand. Last Sunday just so happened to be …
