When you have a busy weekend in London planned, choosing where to stay is very important for enjoying your city break. I’m a person who enjoys having lots of space and plenty of creature comforts around me when I’m travelling and I have found that self catering apartments from FG Properties are a great option…
I love afternoon tea. It’s the perfect way to spend time with friends, celebrate a special occasion or just treat yourself to a little decadent luxury. I visit local cafes with friends and family regularly, but there is something very extra special about going to The Waldorf Hilton Hotel for afternoon tea that leaves the…
We made some lovely memories as a family on our recent weekend trip to London which you might have seen on the blog recently. I thought it would be a good idea to round up our experience incase you were looking for some inspiration to plan a trip to London with your family. We travel regularly with our…
Tower Bridge is one of the most iconic sights on the River Thames with it’s imposing gothic towers and mighty suspension cables. It’s a must see London attraction for anyone visiting the city and it certainly left a big impression on us during our visit. It’s a stones throw from the Tower of London so we…
Going to Buckingham Palace is probably on every travel itinerary for tourists who are visiting London, especially for the first time. The Royal Mews is just next door but is probably a less visited attraction, which I think is a real shame. During our family weekend at Hilton London Canary Wharf I really wanted to…
After arriving in London for the weekend, we headed straight towards the Tower of London on the underground. It was a great place to start our weekend itinerary and it was actually a first for the whole family. As we came out of Tower Hill Tube Station we were greeted with a view of the historic Royal…
Taking young children on a city break is not with out challenges, but the rewards far outweigh the hurdles you have to overcome. Staying at the Hilton London Canary Wharf is definitely a good place to consider if you want a successful city break with kids. Our children are 3 and 5 years old, and…
When your planning a holiday with friends or family, sometimes staying at an airport hotel is a sure fire way to get your trip off on the right foot. You might have heard that I went to Iceland recently, and we were flying from London Gatwick Airport. Our flight was at 7am in the morning,…
The Easter holidays always cause a bit of a dilemma in our household. Taking place half way between the festive fun of the Christmas break the long summer holidays, finding days out that the whole family can enjoy seems to get more difficult every year. Luckily, there are plenty of experiences in and around the…
My husband and I have been talking about where to stay in London with the kids for a while now. We want to take them both on a sightseeing tour as we know they will both enjoying seeing the what the city has to offer. Princess loves to visit London, but we always have an…
Kew Gardens is a beautiful open space in Richmond Upon Thames, South West London. A while a go, the girls and I were invited to visit Kew Gardens for the day by The Original Muck Boot Company. I was really excited to take the girls to Kew Gardens to explore, as it was a place that…
Holiday Inn Express very kindly invited us to stay at their London Stansted Hotel when we returned from our short city break to Venice. Our flight from Venice Treviso Airport wasn’t due to arrive at London Stansted Airport until 11.40pm in the evening, so the thought of driving back to Nottingham at that time seemed…
When you are trying to book a city break for a girlie weekend, and you live in different parts of the country, things can get a little complicated. I was planning a trip with a friend of mine who lives in London, and there was definitely a point where we looked like we might not…
London is constantly changing, ever evolving and has so much to offer, which makes choosing things to do and eat in a quick twenty-four hour time-frame pretty tough. As a regular visitor to the city, I wanted this 24hrs visit to be a bit different, even a little quirky. This would be a rare child free…
When I was recently invited to the Dorchester Hotel by ASDA Little Angels, I was not only excited to hear about everything that was going on with the brand, but also about getting the chance to see what life was like inside the Dorchester. Who wouldn’t be, it’s one of the most iconic luxury hotels…
Princess and I have been to London to find out all about what is happening this summer with Thomas & Friends at the beautiful Waldorf Hilton Hotel. We were both very exited as we boarded the train for the big city. Princess loves Thomas The Tank Engine, so she was really looking forward to the…
