One of the reasons London is such an endlessly exciting city is because it is forever evolving. And along with other parts of the English capital, the London Bridge area of the city is changing at a pretty fast pace. As a native Londoner I still remember the area around London Bridge before The Shard revolutionised the scene, and I can promise you this part of town has has come a long way in recent years. I also remember the level of excitement I felt when The Shard was being built and when I got a glimpse of The Shard before it opened to the public back in 2013. Fast forward to today and lo ..read more

Love Egypt? Find a taste of it in London. London is incredibly multicultural and packed with cool corners and curious cross-cultural things to do. But going out to eat Egyptian doesn’t come up as an option in London very often, does it? And as we all know that food is the lynchpin of all cross-cultural understanding, you may wonder if it’s really possible to enjoy an entire Egyptian itinerary in the British capital. Well, yes – even if the closest you’ve come to a pyramid is an artfully arranged pile of Ferrero Rocher, you can still evoke the tastes, sounds and smells of the Nile, while remain ..read more

I review the pho at central London’s Moc Kitchen in my pursuit for Vancouver-grade Vietnamese food here in the UK. Pho at Moc Kitchen, London There was something about the name of this Vietnamese restaurant  – Moc Kitchen – that instinctively made me reluctant to click on it while searching for pho restaurants online – probably the notion that it was merely a mock kitchen and not a real one. But when I got a craving for Asian food and wanted to go for Pho at around 4pm I found that most places tend to shut for a break between 4 -5.30 pm so I decided to give Moc Kitchen a try.

I wish I could park this close to the airport! After the excitement of booking a holiday comes the bit nobody enjoys – the pre-holiday chores.

Deciding how to get to the airport is one of those boring but necessary decisions, and I’m always looking for an easy solution. So I tested out a meet & greet service at Heathrow on my latest trip… The older I get ..read more

These are just 5 of the ways I like to ..read more

Falling in love with hotels for Valentine’s Day… A romantic weekend away for Valentine’s Day – sounds like a great idea in principle, right?
