Brunch at The Painted Heron
On Sunday I visited The Painted Heron on Cheyne Walk for brunch. Although I’d walked past this Indian restaurant so many times, this was my first visit. It is so easy to miss and unless you know how good it’s supposed to be, you may be forgiven for not bothering to try it out. Thank [...]

Breakfast at Granger & Co
Yesterday, I attended a meeting at Granger & Co on Westbourne Grove, about exciting stuff I can’t wait for you to find out about. I’d been to the one in Sydney many moons ago and I couldn’t wait to try this place out. Having scoped the online reviews on the way there, I was admittedly [...]

Crayfish Martini at The Kensington Hotel
Last night, I popped into The Kensington Hotel to round off the weekend at the Aubrey Doyle: the fantastic bar and restaurant which I’ve written about many times. The evening began with a glass of champagne on my Champagne For Life card: And as the bf and I wondered where we were going to go [...]

Burger and Lobster in Mayfair
So last night I popped into Burger and Lobster. Well, it’s been officially open for less than a week and I practically rushed down there as soon as I could, in anticipation of next month’s detox (something I’ve never done in my life before). I’d seen pics from the launch and there has been a [...]

Turkish Delight at Kazan
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while because it is about Kazan, my favourite Turkish restaurant! Kazan is located in Victoria, on Wilton Road – and has been there since before the chains sprung up along this now busy road. The last time I was there, I had the Drunken Calamari (fried [...]

Champagne For Life at Blakes Hotel
Last weekend, I popped into Blakes Hotel’s bar to use my Champagne For Life card. I’d never been to Blakes before and I loved what I’d discovered: The intimate bar, which sits in the hotel’s basement and adjoins the restaurant is tastefully stylish. The design is Chinese influenced. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, [...]
Valentine’s Day in Chelsea
So this year the bf and I are going to venture out on Valentine’s Day, I think for the first time in four and a half years. Wow, seriously. We normally like to keep it low key but this year we’re thinking, let’s go for it. (Please shoot me if I’ve forgotten a Valentine’s date [...]
Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate
Just before Christmas, I popped into Kiehl’s on the King’s Road to pick up a Facial Fuel gift box for the bf – he loves this skincare range! He says because it has fuel in the name, ha. Whilst there, I picked up a few testers. One of them was for the Midnight Recovery Concentrate [...]
Dining at SUDA Thai Café Restaurant
Last night I visited SUDA Thai Café Restaurant and what a find it is; located inside St. Martin’s Courtyard which sits within the confinements of Mercer Street, Long Acre and Upper St. Martin’s Lane. Inside the café restaurant, the space is huge and so we asked to be sat upstairs in order to grasp the [...]
The Modalu Pippa handbag at Harvest, King’s Road!
Just in case you missed the news, the Modalu Pippa handbag has arrived at Harvest on the King’s Road. Imagine loving a bag so much that it was then named after you? Hello! Chanel, Gucci, Modalu. *wink* For the full Pippa Middleton/Modalu story, have a read of this Marie Claire article. At the moment the [...]
Lunch at Pitt Cue Co. in Soho
So I finally made it down to Pitt Cue Co. in Soho, after missing its street van on the South Bank and succumbing to the hype of the restaurant’s opening. Upon arriving, it became very obvious very quickly why this place doesn’t take bookings. It is a small venue, as the website states, and they [...]

The Oyster Shed launch
Last night I popped into the City for the launch of The Oyster Shed, which has been set up by the same guys who run a couple of my local faves: The Builders Arms and The Phoenix. Knowing how cosy both these pubs are and with Shed in the name, I soon discovered that my [...]
