Maltby Street Market, also known as Ropewalk Market is such a great place for a weekend stroll. Certain things are guaranteed, amazing food choices, a buzzing atmosphere and excellent quality fresh produce. A highlight of visiting this weekend was stopping by M-Wines for a tasting and with a curated collection of 1,000 numbered bottles, you know […]

Old friends
I’ve been looking forward to today all week! It was the chance to spend time with one of my best friend’s in the whole word, Des. We were housemates for over two years in London and friends since our teens in Dublin. Now that we live on opposite sides of the city, we LOVE the […]
Immunity Boosting Foods with Dr Sarah Brewer
If you have a tendency to reach for a heavy bowl of carbs and dive under your duvet on these cold, dark evenings, it’s time to break the cycle! I spoke to Dr Sarah Brewer, medical doctor, author, registered nutritionist and nutritional therapist to find out her go-to foods to stay fit and healthy during the […]
Crate Brewery: Hackney Wick
I had three things that I wanted to do yesterday, sit by water, enjoy the sun and have a beer. Look no further that Crate Brewery and Pizzeria if you’re looking for an afternoon similar to mine! I love the location of this bar nestled on the side of the canal, just a few minutes walk […]
Blighty Coffee
Take a closer look at Blighty Coffee on Blackstock Road, Finsbury Park and you’ll enter a buzzing atmosphere of chat, creativity, community spirit and most importantly, great coffee! A lovely waitress explained why the coffee house is such a hub of activity. “There’s a real sense of community here. There’s always so many things happening, we […]
Refuel at the Soho Hotel
Refuel Bar at the Soho Hotel is my refuge in buzzing Soho. I was first introduced to it when I attended a fabulous blogger workshop run by the beautiful and inspiring Antonia Mariconda last year. I loved the vibe of the hotel. The décor throughout the hotel is gorgeous – think plush chairs, clashing patterns […]
Long live the chickpea!
If like me you love hummus, head straight for Hummus Bros on Wardour Street in Soho. The restaurant pays homage to this humble legume and the food is reasonable, quick and really delicious! Opened in 2005, this restaurant has been producing home-made quality produce and meals effortlessly and that’s why it’s one of the busiest spots […]
Go explore!
One of my favourite things about living in London is Sunday afternoon wanderings. When the sun shines, it’s even better and that’s exactly what happened today! Finsbury Park, Highbury and Green Lanes have so many hidden gems when it comes to coffee shops, restaurants and antiques and homewares stores. You’re literally spoilt for choice. The […]
PHATbreads
I love that the owner of PHATbreads bought her oven on Ebay! Now that’s taking impulse online shopping to a whole other level. It just goes to show what happens when entrepreneurial spirit meets the click of a mouse! The gold mosaic tiles and clean white finish give the oven an updated funky twist. The […]
The Arch Gallery
I stopped for a much needed coffee near Bethnal Green tube yesterday and along with a cracking double shot americano, I came away having found a brilliant versatile venue called the Arch Gallery. It adapts to suit any event or exhibition and more importantly, it has the flexibility for you to make it your own. The […]
