It’s always interesting going back to a restaurant you haven’t visited for many years. You have memories of what it was like, but restaurants change, your tastes change and, let’s be honest, sometimes your memory isn’t quite as reliable as you think it is. It is also refreshing to see the restaurant still exists, which…

A Day Trip from London to Windsor
When we were down in London in February for a concert at the Royal Albert Hall, we decided to make the most of our time in the capital and squeeze in a little day trip while we were there. Having visited London plenty of times over the years, we’re always on the lookout for something…
Sunday Lunch at Imad’s Syrian Kitchen, London
We do seem to find ourselves in London quite regularly these days, but this trip was a little more special than most as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. As fans of Cirque du Soleil, their latest show at the Royal Albert Hall seemed like the perfect excuse for a weekend away. It also finally…
Myrtle Restaurant Chelsea: Irish Fine Dining in London
Every time we visit London, no matter what we’re there for, we can’t help ourselves – we always try to fit in somewhere new to eat. We seem to have a growing list of restaurants we’d like to try, so much so that a weekend in the capital rarely feels long enough. During a recent…
The Jugged Hare, London
Tucked away under the Barbican in London, on a street corner sits an unassuming gastropub – The Jugged Hare. Looking in from the outside you could be quick to dismiss, as the smallish bar area often looks rammed. It’s worth popping in and seeing if they have a table in their large restaurant which extends…
Flour & Grape, London
A work trip had me spending my days in the vicinty of London Bridge. This area has no shortage of good eateries, however since the Flour & Grape was on my ‘to visit’ list and was a short walk from the office; it was a no-brainer really. So one night after a relatively late finish,…
Spuntino, London
I have had a couple of occasions lately on my work trips that I haven’t had any plans, shocker ! So I have found myself embracing solo-dining. It can be quite a daunting experience if you have never done it before, you want to make sure you get the right place to feel comfortable and…
Bird of Smithfield, London
Nothing beats a nice drink at a rooftop bar on a sunny evening, and now summer is (kind of) here, a friend and I took advantage of the lovely sunshine and enjoyed a few drinks up on the roof of Bird of Smithfield overlooking the ornate Smithfield Market. I had read good things about the…
The Chocolate Cocktail Club
If you love chocolate and cocktails then The Chocolate Cocktail Club is the place for you! A few weeks ago I paid a visit along with some friends to this pop up; a speakeasy style affair hidden underneath Brick Lane serving chocolate twists on classic cocktails. This pop up was only to be around until…
Spitalfields Art
When the weather is favourable I do like to go for a walk at lunchtime, unfortunately depending on where I am working the walk is not often that scenic. Working recently in the City in London I discovered it is a haven of art! From regular art displays in Broadgate to the Sculptures that can…
