Rainy days in London – Leadenhall and Borough Market

Louise — Sat, 10 Feb 2018 12:32:22 +0000

When its cold and rainy outside all you really want to do is snuggle up with a warm cup of tea and Netflix! But being pregnant it is important to get a bit of fresh air and regular exercise, so there is no way around it. Just be sure to always bring an umbrella, when going out in London!

All you need to know about Covent Garden

January… It is the month of the year, that both seems a bit cold and grey - but also the best time for a new beginning! Many of us have created New Year's resolutions - but will we follow through with them? "New year, new you, right?"

Where would you go if you had only one week in London?

Louise — Thu, 27 Apr 2017 13:55:07 +0000

"What would you do if you had only one week in London and really want to get the best of this city?" These are questions, I often get, when I have visitors over. London is such a big and adventurous city with so many possibilities. Something is always going on here... It can be expensive, yes - but you can also have lots of fun without spending all your savings.

When West meets East – my amazing day trip to Shoreditch

Louise — Tue, 18 Apr 2017 14:26:46 +0000

I can still remember the first time, Frenchie took me to Shoreditch! I was very new to the city and was only familiar with the West End, since this is where we live! It is my impression that you are either a West End girl or an East End girl! It is like an epic battle!

Strolling around in Camden Town

This weekend I decided it was time to discover a part of London, that was completely unknown to me! I have a very good friend, who loves coming here - and she highly recommended me to jump on the tube and visit.... CAMDEN!

Everything looks better in colour – which is why, you should go to Notting Hill!

Louise — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 15:23:23 +0000

Notting Hill... I never knew about this wonderful place, until I saw the romantic film with Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts! I assume most tourists go for Trafalgar Square, Regent Street and Piccadilly Circus when visiting - but there is so much more to London! So my mission today is to make newcomers aware of this beautiful little part of my beloved city, that is so vivid and colourful that it shines even on a rainy Sunday.

Louise — Sun, 15 Jan 2017 10:29:31 +0000

I've said it before - and I'll say it again! London is a Mecca for markets! There is no better way to spend a Saturday or Sunday in London than wandering the capital’s colourful street markets picking up cool crafts, vintage treasures or tucking into delicious food.

Belgravia Christmas market

Louise — Sun, 04 Dec 2016 19:20:14 +0000

I don't think there is a place on earth, where Christmas is more celebrated than in London! It is definitely the season to visit markets and fairs all over town (preferably with a hot mulled wine in your hand to get you in the merry spirit)

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Louise — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 14:32:43 +0000

Holiday hugs and kissing under the mistletoe! It certainly is the season to be jolly in London! This Sunday, I went to magical Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park - and I must say, my jaws literally dropped, when I entered this magnificent place of fun and festivities. How do you describe something so amazing, that words are not enough?
