You know that massive building in London City? The one that looks like a retro walkie-talkie? You can go up there, and it’s free! The booking process is a bit annoying (you can’t just turn up willy nilly – you have to pre-book via their website here) but considering you’d pay £25 for a ticket…
A Rainy Walk over Waterloo Bridge
Some photos from a rainy walk, on a rainy Sunday London afternoon.
You need to eat at Meza in Tooting Broadway right now. Trust me.
Pad and I are London-food-lovers. We spend our weekends hunting out new restaurants, amazing hidden gems and hyped up eating hot-spots.

Finding the Perfect Sunday Roast in London
As a girl who grew up in Yorkshire – the elusive ‘perfect Sunday roast’ is something I’m always searching for in London! In fact, it has been Paddy and I’s mission for quite some time to track one down worthy of writing about. On Friday night we totally found that place. May I introduce you…
Local Alternatives to London Tourist Attractions
So when you’ve lived in a big city like London a long time, you learn to avoid the touristy areas… especially on your time off and during the weekends. It’s not that you don’t like tourists – but sometimes it can make your life a whole lot easier when you don’t need to worry about…
