While a pub called “The Prince Harry” might conjure up visions of something not relating to food, one definitely can’t help but think of the ginger topped prince. It turns out the pub was renamed the year of Prince Harry’s wedding in an attempt to garner more fame and fortune. While it can’t be said…

The Stratford- London
There’s a new five star on the block and she’s actually affordable, welcome into the London rotation, The Stratford. While I wasn’t originally keen on staying just outside of the central city, this hotel certainly fits the bill- designy, bustling lobby, comfortable, clean rooms, and a delicious breakfast cooked to order. The neighborhood is full…
Wicked Fish- Stratford
One sunny, London summer evening found us strolling along the canals near Stratford. The destination in mind was the Hackney Wick for a pint or two. Surprised to find that it was closed for the filming of a rom-com, we tried a few other spots before realizing it was time to find some food. Pubs…
Napoli on the Road- Chiswick
When you’re through London a lot, like very often a lot, and learn that the best pizza place in Europe (outside of Italy) is in the city… well, first you think, Brexit be damned! Then you think, we MUST go there. We opted for the Chiswick location and were glad we had a reservation. The…
Serata Hall- London
What’s one to do if you have 33 GBP and a Sunday morning to spare? Head to Serata Halll but be prepared to be part of a birthday and bachelorette extravaganza. Without asking, you’re brought a bottle of white and rose sparkling… oh and a jug of rum punch for good measure! They need to…
Howling Hops Hackney
Fancy a pineapple reminiscent “tropical pale ale?” Good because this place is so popular, it’s about the only thing still on tap. Perfect for a tasting flight that’s all the same beer. 🍺
Decimo at The Standard London
Reading about Decimo and it’s delicious Mexican delights of course had us booking in for brunch on our quick weekend jaunt to The Standard. The atmosphere truly has you transported to Tulum and the large spacious area seems to host lots of fun events like monthly salsa dancing. Open fire was everywhere from the dining…
The Standard- London
A quick 24 hours in London necessitated a fun hotel near St. Pancras, which was the perfect excuse to finally try The Standard. Out of character for the surrounding traditional British housing, the hotel has an otherworldly feel with its external elevator and mid century modern windows and furnishings. We opted for a cut above…
Knightsbridge Spots- London
If you have a moment to yourself in London as a solo traveler, it’s always a fun idea to stick your head into Harrod’s for the ultimate window shop. Or, find a squat at the Moet champagne bar for a glass of fizz and people watching. Had enough of the above ground location and seeking…
Morton’s Manor- Corfe
The seaside in the south of the UK holds a special place in the heart of the gentleman, so he planned a weekend away for us so I could see for myself. We stayed at the moody, but stately Morton’s Manor in Corfe. Each nook of the property was more charming than the next, in…
