Best Things To Do At Hampstead Heath
When I first moved to London I lived in Kentish Town and one of my favourite things to do was walk up to Hampstead Heath and explore the different corners of the park. It’s still one of my top spots in London and every few months I make the trek…
Christmas Foods To Try In London
It may be the setting of Dickens’ Christmas Carol (and The Muppets Christmas Carol of course), but is London really that Christmassy of a place for food? I reckon it can hold its own, and to prove it, I’ll take you through some of the most British Christmas Food Traditions…

February was just one hot mess that I wanted to forget, but as it’s part of my 22 For 2022 list, here are some of the more positive things that happened this February.
July – September or Things I’ve Been Doing While Abandoning This Blog
It’s October, which basically means the year is pretty much done, dusted and banished to a shallow memory only retrievable via social media posts. But before we get down to the fun end of year things (and last minute presents stress) let me catch up on what I’ve been doing…

Awesome Things I’ve Seen & Done in December
One of my 22 for 2022 goals is to write monthly round-ups and I want to kick that off with a look back at December. I started the month at Somerset House where I enjoyed an ice-skate session, caught up with friends, and a Hotel Chocolate hot chocolate.
Great post! There were so many of your points that sounded oddly familiar! 😀
I actually laughed at “You were disappointed you didn’t run into Tom Hiddleston and he magically took you on a special London tour” … we can all dream, right? Last November I got really lucky because I was in London when Tom promoted Thor 2/ Only Lovers Left Alive so I actually saw him twice in two days or something. Ah, the memories! 🙂
This post really makes me want to book a flight to London ASAP though … sigh!
London is my all time favourite place!!! I could totally relate to so many of those points especially treasuring my union flag souvenirs and taking a ridiculous amount of photos of landmarks that I’ve seen 100 times!!

I think it’s my favourite post (so far)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve got 14/22!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I know I’ve been in London because …It’s my most favourite city in the whole wide world!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I promised the city I would come back again and again and again and again…… !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(and I kept my promise)
Hahaha, I love this! To be honest, I haven’t been to the UK… I could, however, easily make a list just like this for NYC. Growing up less than an hour from the city, many of these seemed quite familiar…
Trade the underground for the subway, the Union Jack souvenir for an “I <3 NY" souvenir, Big Ben for good ol' Empy, and Harrods for Tiffany/Macy's/Saks…etc.
Love this whole post hahaha I should be sure to accomplish a couple of these things whenever I make it over that way!
Yes! Exactly! A friend of mine found Richard Madden from Game of Thrones and took a picture with him and I, of course, no one 😀

Definitely fell in love with the accents all over again and took a gazillion photos from the London Eye. But when I was there I only had two days so not nearly enough to get everything done you list! Have to to back some day (soon!).
This was brilliant! London is an amazing city. Even us Brits from elsewhere can get confused on the underground and no matter how many times you go, Camden is always exciting. I love the bit about getting tricked to going to a big chain restaurant! It happens everytime because there’s just so much choice!
This is an amazing list and all of it is so true! Although…I never went to Madam Tussaud’s but I did run into Orlando Bloom in Piccadilly once!
