Kew Gardens

August 2022
After purchasing tickets online, we enjoyed a sunny Saturday afternoon exploring Kew Gardens. It was my first time at Kew, so we visited some of the gardens must see attractions; the temperate house, the palm house and the waterlily house.

Ronnie Scott’s

May 2022
Another must for me while living in London was to go to the world famous Jazz club Ronnie Scott’s. So we booked tickets to see Kahil El’Zabar Quartet. The main show room was big while at the same time still incredibly intimate with soft lighting and plush seating. I couldn’t help but feel incredibly cool in Ronnie Scott’s! A great night out sipping cocktails and enjoying some jazz.

Maltby Street Market

April 2022
Lesser known and smaller than the famous Borough or Camden markets, Maltby street market was only established in 2010. Lots of different food and drink stalls and mini restaurants can be found when wandering down Maltby street’s rope walk. Intimate wine bars, breweries, bakers, grocers and florists (with secret hidden bar at the back!) can also be found hidden within the surrounding railway arches.

Upstairs

February 2022
After Wicked, our postponed birthday celebrations continued with an evening meal at Upstairs. Upstairs is the sister restaurant to Clapham’s Michelin star restaurant Trinity, and can literally be found up the stairs from Trinity. As its non-Michelin star sister restaurant, Upstairs is more budget friendly whilst still being a special meal out.

Noble Rot

January 2022
Following the success of their Nobel Rot magazine, Dan Keeling and Mark Andrew ventured into the restaurant business. One of the two Noble Rot restaurants is situated in an atmospheric townhouse along one of Bloomsbury’s loveliest streets, Lamb’s Conduit Street, and filled with funky prints of their magazine covers.
