Shakshuka Brunch at Cafe Loren, Camden
I do all I can to avoid Camden Town on a Saturday. Being one of London’s most accessibly eclectic areas, it draws in huge crowds with its outrageous 3D store facades, bizarre street performers and cheap ‘alternative’ tat available the…
Proper Pizza at The Marquis of Wellington, Bermondsey
Whenever I’m away on a big holiday, I always plan something to look forward to when I’m back. You know, to soften the blow a bit. It doesn’t have to be anything spectacular, but something like a pizza date…
Hogwarts in the Snow at Warner Bros. Studio Tour, London
This year has been an incredible treasure trove of opportunities for me as a Harry Potter fan. I’ve seen Cursed Child TWICE, met stars of the films, and been invited to become an ambassador for JK Rowling’s charity, Lumos. To…

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Midnight Launch at Waterstones
*SPOILER FREE* For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved to read. I’ve been fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful people who have encouraged this passion, from my parents reading to me every night as a child, to friends…
