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
A review of dinner at Myrtle in Chelsea, where we enjoyed Anna Haugh’s tasting menu with wine pairings, followed by drinks at The Wee Sister wine bar.
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…
Brother Marcus
Brother Marcus was a recent great little find of mine about 200 yards from my London office along Camden Passage. So one evening I went along with a friend to try out their food – their Instagram account was appetising enough! The concept, as is the trend these days is for small plates. The menu has…
Kricket
I’ve been spending more time in London recently with work, which gives a great opportunity to knock off a few items from my restaurant bucket list. Kricket in Soho is a modern Indian and my friend and I paid a midweek visit before going to see a film nearby at the Picturehouse Central (which I can also recommend!). …
