Right readers! Perhaps you can help me out here. How on earth did I not know about the huge savings that can be made on train travel and days out with the Family & Friends Railcard from National Rail? I’m flabbergasted that I’ve been in the dark this long to be honest but fortunately this…
I start getting ready for Christmas in October, so you won’t be shocked to know that I like to know what to expect on a festive family day out. If you have a similar mindset and are thinking about a trip to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour with your resident Harry Potter fans, these are the…
With over 27 million tourists visiting every year, London is undoubtedly one of the most popular cities of Europe. It is no surprise that this once Roman city tops the list of tourists’ travel plans. The rich history and outstanding culture of London has thrived over the years and with some of the world’s best…
We wondered whether we were being led down a rabbit hole when google maps pointed us in the direction of a rather unassuming street in Mayfair in search of Mr Fogg’s Residence. This was to be the last stop for our theatre weekend in London and we certainly wanted to end on a high note. We…
Going out for dinner is without a doubt one of my favourite things to do, so it simply had to feature during our recent theatre weekend in London. My sister and I were very excited to be invited to Shikumen in Aldgate to sample their highly acclaimed Chinese food on Saturday evening. The Shikumen restaurant…
I’m a firm fan of having something to look forward to in January, so I was delighted when Super Break asked us if we would like to try a London Theatre Break from their website. January is a pretty dull month after all the Christmas celebrations so it was lovely to have a short city…
We decided it would be a great idea to begin our Hamburg city break adventure with a London Stansted Hotel. We are huge fans of Holiday Inn Express and with such an early flight planned, staying in an airport hotel with kids always makes things go a little bit smoother. We arrived at tea time…
We’d already had an exciting day in London with a wonderfully English afternoon tea followed by a stroll along the Southbank with some blogging friends. Our day was not yet over, and we headed back to our apartment in Fulham Broadway to get ready for our dinner reservation at the Mango Tree London. Time wasn’t…
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…
When you think of booking a holiday to the UK, everyone one thinks that London is the best city to go to. Don’t get me wrong, London is a great city to visit, but the UK has a number of cities that offer great sight seeing opportunities and lots of things to do for…
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…
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…
