This was the first year that I attended the Fashion Week Festival, which is now housed at The Store, on the Strand in London. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but found a plethora of shopping, brands, coffee lounges, talks and shows, and selfie booths... enough to keep any fashionista happy. So in case …

A more fun book this week than usual, a Victorian mystery/thriller about a girl who has inherited a criminal empire from her grandmother and must learn how to use her new power wisely. But as she is coming into her own, her long lost brother asks her to shelter a child, and she soon finds …

This is a hard review to write, because being sent the book by the author, I have to say that at the core there was something that I didn't quite get about this book. Former.ly is the story of a guy who is recruited to work at a mysterious social media start up for a …

Every year, Hyde Park in the heart of London is taken over by the huge festivity that is known as Winter Wonderland. A huge area of rides, traditional European Christmas markets, and every festival food you can imagine. And like so many of the things you can do in London, entry is free. I love …

So one of the awesome parts of my job is meeting really interesting people. I was invited to the press pit of the London red carpet premiere for Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, and got a chance to catch up with the stars. And to meet Tom Cruise. Yes, Maverick himself. Oh My God. If …

Not normally a recipe post type of person, but this one I thought you might get a kick out of since it's made from foraged ingredients and a pastry base that anyone can make. Perfect if you need to impress someone but have no cooking skills. London is beautiful at this time of year, with the …

There is in London a long held tradition of pub theatre. Usually upstairs, sometimes down, these beautiful old pubs of London will have a small theatre and will hold some interesting events. Personally, I think that it's a great way to see a wider part of London and the arts, without the big price tag or the …

One of the things that I love about London is that the museums here are mostly free (and they usually have awesome gift shops).
