A London Food and Travel blog full of unique experiences.
Fancy a very unique London afternoon tea (almost) worth getting arrested for? (To be fair, the ladies I was with are the ones who I’d either be in jail beside or calling at 3am to arrange rescue/bail.)
The Dixon Hotel is in a Grade II-listed Edwardian building that was formerly a Magistrates’ courthouse and police station, near London Bridge, down Tooley Street, next to Tower Bridge.Read more
Sometimes I just have to escape my home office – especially when I’ve got a severe case of the procrastinations – taking my laptop to one of my favourite London cafes and hotels to work from.
I’m not going to reveal every single one of my favourite places – I have working hidey holes all over London and we’d be here all day. But these are my favourites as a self employed freelancer. The newly opened Market Halls & Box Parks would probably make for good working locations as well, but I’ve not tried out their WIFI connections.
Love steak? Love London theatre? Need a fun date restaurant that has great cocktails and some intriguing modern art as a talking point? Enter stage left The Jones Family Affair, this Covent Garden restaurant is one not to miss. Disclaimer: we were invited guests but we’ll definitely be back on our own nickel – all thoughts & steak orders are very much my own.
Having recently rounded up the best Kiwi cafes in London, I thought it only fair to share the best Aussie cafes in London as well. For trans-Tasman balance you understand, and nothing at all to do with the banana bread research required… no…
For when you’re desperate for brunch & all the Kiwi cafes are booked *wink*. I only kid – our Aussie cousins do a pretty damn good brunch, and I’m so glad that us antipodeans are taking over the London brunch scene…!
Returning to an old favourite restaurant like Le Garrick is like putting on a long-forgotten, beloved jumper. It’s cosy, delicious, fits a little differently but above all, has an underlying love of satisfaction so different to a newer garment. Disclaimer: We were invited guests of Le Garrick, but my (very many) opinions are only ever my own, and I would never recommend anywhere that I don’t happily visit. And revisit.
Restaurants from all corners of the globe line the the London streets of Covent Garden and the West End to entice theatre goers. Mexican fajitas, Kiwi brunches, delectably dirty American burgers, Italian pizzas – you name it, it seems as though almost every corner of cuisine gets a look in.
