A Unique London Afternoon Tea (almost) Worth Getting Arrested For – The Dixon Hotel, London Bridge

June 22, 2022

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.)

Unique Afternoon Tea The Dixon Hotel London Bridge

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

Royal Horseguards Hotel | 5 Star Hotels in London

May 15, 2022

Where to stay in Istanbul | Pera Palace Hotel | Historical Luxury

August 22, 2021

When I was researching where to stay in Istanbul, the Pera Palace Hotel kept coming up, time and time again. It was simply fate – even before I discovered the writers legacy living between the perfectly manicured walls.

I have to apologise in advance for the photo dump, but it was such a breathtaking hotel that I couldn’t resist. This was a break we took awhile ago, so apologies for the grainy photos – but a timeless 5-star hotel like this won’t have changed in the interim (though my camera equipment has gotten much, much better.)
