Breaking My Travel Norms

I’ve settled into a comfortable routine when it comes to the sorts of holidays I plan. I like to maintain a certain level of control so I can explore the way I want to; I will seek out new experiences…

London

Asian Fusion Sharing Plates at Yuu Kitchen, Spitalfields

‘Sharing’ plates is a concept that worries and excites me all at once. I don’t really like sharing food; what if I’m left hungry or another person takes liberties with the most delicious dish on the table? But also, at…

Gatwick Airport

Staying at Yotel: Gatwick’s First Capsule Hotel

My quest for cheap travel is often at odds with my North London address. I don’t live anywhere near an airport and a bargain flight normally means a pre-9am departure and/or a post-10pm return, often resulting in me being utterly…

London

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…
