Love London
I love London – I moved here for university when I was 18 and now I live here with my husband in a home full of books, art supplies, board games and plants. I love the energy and diversity of the city – from it’s beautiful star attraction buildings to the quiet corners only the locals know. I also love the possibilities London offers. Here you can find life drawing classes with animal models, origami lessons, calligraphy workshops and every other sort of creative class you can imagine. There are exciting events from light festivals brightening the winter streets to rainbow Pride parades, ice rinks by beautiful historic buildings to incredible blooms at the Chelsea flower show. There are shiny skyscrapers offering a birds eye view of the city and quiet paths along the river, there are cafes selling hundreds of types of cereal and elegant places for afternoon tea, there are fantastic photography exhibitions, art galleries and museums. There are also some special wedding venues from yurts and garden centres to botanical gardens and glasshouses. See what I’ve been exploring and share your suggestions.

Love London – View from the Shard
I've visited View from the Shard at London Bridge several times - it gives an incredible bird's-eye view of the city. My top tip for visiting is to go up about 30 minutes before sunset - that gives you a chance to see the city in daylight, watch the sun set behind the...
Love London – My Summer Soundtrack
When I find a song I like I become quite obsessive. It's not unusual for me to have a handful of songs on repeat for weeks - when I find something I like, I stick with it! At the moment I have five favourite songs on repeat - my summer soundtrack - a mix of rock, pop...
Love London – Horniman Museum Wedding Venue
A few months ago my sister sent me an article about incredible places you never knew were in London. The Horniman Museum & Gardens was top of the list and as soon as I read about it, I couldn't wait to visit. It's only in zone 3, not far from Forest Hill...
Love London – RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2014
I love the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and try to visit every year. This year although the gardens were as stunning as always (especially my favourite - Togenkyo A Paradise on Earth designed by Kazuyuki Ishihara), I was totally captivated by the flowers. There were some...
