Been There, Seen That, Got The Postcard
If it's on the map, it's in the plan!
My absolute favourite thing to do in London is visit the West End and see one of the world-famous shows that are on offer. Team it up with delicious German food, and it's starting to sound like my kind of night! Grand plans - well, grandish plans - were made to visit Portobello market around… Continue reading A Night In London’s West End
Panoramic views of London don't come much better than from The Shard, and on my recent visit to the viewing platforms on floors 68 and 69 I was lucky enough to have a clear day with superb views of the city. As a fan of sweeping, panoramic views of any city, I've visited my fair… Continue reading Postcards from…The Shard
If there is a better way to see a city than up the highest building soaking up the panoramic views, then I am yet to find it. I took a trip on the London Eye with my family when I was younger, at a time I think it was still called the Millennium Wheel -… Continue reading London | A Flying Visit To The Shard!
Just a stone's throw from London, the impressive estate of Luton Hoo offers a chance to indulge in a spot of luxury. We're talking spa, afternoon tea, fancy dinner, top notch hotel kind of luxury.

The light festival has come to London! After trying to find a way to make it to Amsterdam's light festival, I was thrilled to find out that London was hosting it's own light festival.

Just in case I hadn't already mentioned it - I love this church. I've shared the postcards I picked up while there and I wrote about how I ended up being able to see this church. It may not be on the same level of grandeur as Notre Dame, Westminster Abbey and Sagrada Famillia, but… Continue reading Temple Church, London
As if the inside of the church isn't stunning enough, the outside of Temple Church is just as interesting to look at! The level of detail on this hidden London church isn't on the same level as Sagrada Familia or Notre Dame, but it's the modesty and simplicity that make it so pretty. I had to… Continue reading Postcard from…Temple Church
I made my way into London last month for a family gathering, and found that not only was London hosting 'Open London', an event allowing the public into usually private places, but also that Temple Church was part of the event. I'd been wanting to visit the church for quite a while, and I was super… Continue reading Postcard from…Temple Church
It's well known that there is loads to do in London. And I'm not just talking about the big sights like Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, but also the smaller things like the numerous markets and neighbourhoods. So when a day in London was organised with my boyfriend's family, I couldn't resist heading in early… Continue reading Open London: Temple Church and Inns of Court
Arriving in London early last week meant I had some time to kill before my lunch plans. Luckily, there is so much to do in London that I wasn't left pondering my options for long. Initially, the plan was to take my new camera for a test run near St Paul's, however on the way there… Continue reading Photo Friday: Circular Church
