A London Food and Travel blog full of unique experiences.
Both my friend and I had eyed up the beautiful scenery, cozy thatched cottages and wild beaches of the Cornish coast often enough to each have a wishlist of places to explore, so on our Cornwall road trip, we tried to fit in as many places as we could over a long weekend.
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.
I adore Bath. It’s one of my favourite places in England outside of London, and it’s so easy to get to even as a day trip. So much so I’ve become well versed in the places to visit in Bath – semi-conducting tours with many friends and family over the years. Disclaimer: This time we were guests of Visit Bath but the multiple visits with overseas guests and for spa weekends with the girls should explain just how much I love this place.
But, one of the things I adore about every single visit to this golden city is discovering something new every single time.
The incredible Pink Afternoon Tea at Ting in the Shangri-La London has been inspired by the journeys of four incredible women, Gina, Maggie, Mandy and Michele, who received breast cancer treatment at Guy’s Cancer. [Disclosure: we were guests of the Shangri-La London hotel but all enthusing is very much my own.]
I wanted to begin the review with their stories – this wonderful afternoon tea is as delicious and luxurious as befits a Shangri-La creation – but as someone who has had friends and family who have battled breast cancer, the fact that the Shangri-La team is supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month with rose-hued dining, means so much.
