A London Food and Travel blog full of unique experiences.
I honestly don’t know where to begin – or where this post will end – but I wanted to express a few emotions about the death of Queen Elizabeth II. My experiences and thoughts in this online journal of adventures through life.
Sadly, on the afternoon of 8th September, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms, died peacefully at her home at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
Coming to London soon & want to know where to stay? Knowing where to stay can make or break a trip to the capital city of England, so I wanted to share 6 of my favourite hotels in London.
We loved to occasionally book a cheeky staycation, usually something special to treat ourselves, or explore and area we haven’t spent time in lately. All of these are perfectly located for exploring London – from the beauty of Mayfair to the more contemporary East End of London – and all have great transport links.
This blog post is a little special. More than a little special – I’m celebrating my 5-year business anniversary. I genuinely never dreamed that I’d get this far, and thinking about it has me more than a little choked up. (The fact that I’ve been so busy with work that this post is technically two months late is neither here nor there…!)
I’ve been freelancing as a Social Media consultant for half a decade – HALF A DECADE – now. I’ve clicked and clacked my laptop keyboard as far away as New Zealand, and as close as my home office. I’m so proud to have worked with a gamut of businesses: tiny husband & wife businesses underlaid with passion through to multi-national corporate businesses.
Pubs. They’re great, aren’t they? London is great too. Put these together and what do we have? – the great London Pub. It’s practically an institution in British culture, and often becomes the extended lounge of busy Londoners. With that in mind, I thought my blog was lacking a list of the best pubs in London, so I roped in my local expert of hopped beverages.
I met my lovely husband in a London pub (read our story here), and so it was only natural to ask him to share his favourite pubs in London – the ones he disappears to when I’m busy with blogging fun! Take it away Mr Kiwi!
Whenever I get the opportunity, I love running away to the English seaside [read: literally any sun-filled excuse] and recently we loved a day trip to Margate beach enough to go back a couple of weeks later, hiring a beachfront apartment for a leisurely three day break.
One of the things I miss the most about living in New Zealand, is the easy access to beaches. They (whoever ‘they’ are) reckons that no-one is more than 1.5 hours drive from a beach in my narrow home country, so when I was home recently, I made FULL use of that access.
