Louise — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 22:30:49 +0000

I am really, really excited to share this blog post with you guys! First of all, because Frenchie and I had a truly unique dining experience at Searcys at The Gherkin. Second, because I have wanted to visit this stunning skyscraper since the day I moved to London 5 years ago!

Girls’ Day Out at Egerton House Hotel

Friday out with Clara and my mother! I can’t remember the last time, when the three of us went out together on a real “girls-day-out!” Obviously there had to be Afternoon Tea involved, as we are all big fans of this lovely British food tradition - and this time we were going to Knightsbridge for a cosy and wonderful afternoon at The Egerton House Hotel

How to begin, when you have just had the most amazing evening in a very, very long time? I wish, I could have brought you all along to this amazing place in London, where everything comes together in sweet harmony! The food, the drinks, the service, the atmosphere - and last but not least a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view of London! All of this - and so much more, is Galvin at Windows!

Feeling right at home at London’s best Nordic restaurant – Aquavit!

Louise — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 16:11:38 +0000

Aquavit… The name itself makes me feel right at home! As some of you might now, I am Danish - a real viking, as Frenchie says! Now, I don't know about that, as I am always cold, but when it comes to food, then yes!

Eneko at One Aldwych – London’s best Basque restaurant!

Louise — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 12:32:49 +0000

As you might remember, I have recently had the pleasure of enjoying Basque food on our trip to South Western France. The Basque cuisine is really quite something! It is influenced by the sea on one side and the fertile Ebro valley on the other

La Dolce Vita at Daphne´s

Louise — Wed, 21 Jun 2017 11:16:56 +0000

Summer is here! The city is more alive than ever - for those who can stand the heat! For us Danes 33 degrees is a bit too much, so at the moment I'm mostly looking for places where I can have a taste of the sun, but still stay under the shadow! It can actually be a bit difficult to find lovely hang-out places, because "we are in London - not Paris!" (quote Frenchie)

When all you really want is Eggs Benedict – The Wolseley way!

Louise — Tue, 11 Apr 2017 14:58:38 +0000

After a lot of shopping it was time for food, and I think you all know, that I have a weakness for The Wolseley! The Wolseley is for me the place to go, when I want to spoil myself (and maybe do a bit of celebrity-watching)

The ups and downs of Old Bond Street – all about my shopping experiences!

Louise — Sat, 25 Feb 2017 17:10:28 +0000

I love Old Bond Street in London a lot! It is like entering a world of luxury and beauty - and you basically want to buy it all (if your wallet would allow you!)
This is a bit of an unusual post for me to write, because I always try to show the positive sides of London - and you guys know, that I SIMPLY LOVE MY CITY, but for some reason I felt the need to share my ambivalent shopping adventures in Old Bond Street with you.

A festive week to remember – our amazing evening at The Royal Albert Hall

Louise — Wed, 21 Dec 2016 16:00:13 +0000

I so enjoyed the time I had with my mother, when she was here to visit me from Denmark last week! The most spectacular event was by far our evening at The Royal Albert Hall.

A festive week to remember – Somerset skating and The Delaunay

Louise — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 13:25:30 +0000

I have had such a lovely week in London! My mother was here to visit me and I can't really think of anything we did, that didn't put us in the right Christmas spirit. In this blog I will invite you to join me on a trip to all the great places we went.
