My Nain is obsessed with Andrew and I returning to live in Wales. After 16 years of living in London, you would have thought that she would have accepted that we are not going to move. I think she’s getting worse as she gets older. I […]

Living in London is a brilliant place to see live music. I’ve been able to see most bands and musicians that I like because almost all of them perform in London at some point in time. Beat The Touts is a useful website for news on up coming concerts and information on pre-sales. It’s still a struggle to buy tickets […]

I always think that London has more than enough to offer! But if you want a break or want to see more of the UK, then this is what I usually suggest. The places are listed according to their proximity to London. I haven’t included Richmond or Greenwich as I […]

It’s one of my favourite things to do in London. This photo was taken on a freezing Saturday night (rock and roll!), shortly after I’d bought my first tripod. It’s not the sturdiest of tripods but perfect for backpacking. I’ve loved using it. I grew up mistakingly calling Tower Bridge “London Bridge”… I even […]

So, here are my favourites, what I believe are London’s best museums: British Museum, Russell Square This place is vast and […]

How much do theatre tickets cost   Tickets are expensive with premium seats at around £80 each, over £150 for opera and ballet venues. If you’re not worried about what you’re going […]

Few Michelin star establishments offer anything different or exciting.  If you’ve had one well cooked pork belly, how good can another one be  Thankfully there are a few cheaper and more interesting places popping up.  Here are some of my favourites: Cheaper than Michelin […]
