I loved The Ned so much when I first visited (shortly after it first opened), I knew I would return. It's the perfect place to catch-up with friends and there's so much to do you can easily while away a weekend without leaving. I didn't take many photos this time, as I was busy making … Continue reading A Return to The Ned, London

Dean Street Townhouse, London 🇬🇧
Like Kettner's, Dean Street Townhouse is another Soho House hotel in the heart of Soho. However there is no harking back to another era here (see my post on Kettner's here) and things are a lot quieter and perhaps more discreet, starting with the entrance which is so unobtrusive I must have walked past it … Continue reading Dean Street Townhouse, London 🇬🇧
Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner, London
Well, it's been a while since I did a food post so I thought it should be a good one! I don't think it's much of a secret that Heston Blumenthal's "Dinner" at the Mandarin Oriental near Hyde Park is pretty good but I thought I'd share my experience anyway. This was the third time I've … Continue reading Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner, London
White City House, London
I'm not going to lie, I did have mixed feelings when I first arrived for a stay at White City House in West London (although do read on!). I'm all for discreet entrances up to a point, but got thoroughly confused when I arrived as to where Reception was. (I didn't realise before, that Television Centre … Continue reading White City House, London
Kettner’s Townhouse, London 🇬🇧
Being a Soho House fan (incase you haven't noticed), I got very excited at this new venture. Like me, Nick Jones seems to be somewhat of a 1920's/vintage fan so I knew this little Georgian gem in London's Soho would be special. Sure enough as you step through these doors, it is as if you … Continue reading Kettner’s Townhouse, London 🇬🇧
The Ned, London
As soon as I heard about this collaboration between Soho House and the Sydell Group (owners of the Line and Nomad hotels in the States) I knew I had to stay here. Not only am I a massive fan of Soho House, I'm also a huge lover of all things Art Deco and this hotel is … Continue reading The Ned, London
Helene Darroze at The Connaught
Helene Darroze's 2 Michelin Star restaurant at The Connaught Hotel in Mayfair has been on my 'to eat at' list for quite some time.So when I just happened to be in the area the other week I thought I'd try my luck at dropping in & seeing if they had a table. (As a side note … Continue reading Helene Darroze at The Connaught
Kensington Caper
There's nothing like a chic, eclectic bolthole in the middle of a city and The Kensington Hotel is a great place to relax at the end of a busy day in London. This boutique hotel is a short walk from the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum and a slightly longer but manageable … Continue reading Kensington Caper
