Winter Wonderland vs. Winterville
So, in the space of a week I was gathered amongst thousands to further my festive spirit attending two of London’s most popular Christmas park attractions. It had been my first year at Winterville based in London’s Victoria Park, and my second year at London’s Hyde Park. I don’t intend to ruin the read for you but WINTERVILLE WINS! Winter Wonderland holds huge attraction and attention from most tourists, as it is based in the most Central part of London. I visited Winter Wonderland on the Sunday before Christmas, thinking it would be the most quiet day to go; wrong!…

Spiaggia: Fulham’s Italian Beach Restaurant
Italian beach themed restaurant Spiaggia is the perfect antidote to the cold and wet of pre-Christmas London. A laid-back dining experience of Italian beach food alongside tasty cocktails and interesting beers. What more could you want on a Tuesday night? That was rhetoric, I didn’t want anything else. Spiaggia’s commitment to the beach theme is impressive and it really transports you out of London. Lovingly sand blasted wooden flooring, cane pillars, pale blue and yellow walls and even the toilets are stylised beach huts. What of the food? I hear you cry. It was ruddy delicious. We shared some smoked…

Tombo Japanese Cafe, Deli & Restaurant Review
Japanese food is definitely in my top three favourite cuisines, so when this opportunity came up I jumped at it.

Tombo is located in the museum district of South Kensington and surrounded by other independently owned eateries. Tombo definitely stands out from the crowd with its…

The Shaw Theatre’s Aladdin; London’s greatest Pantomime? Oh yes it is!
Buckets full of glitter, outrageous costumes, stunning sets and catchy songs – sounds like a Gaga show right? Close, it was in fact The Shaw Theatre’s production of Aladdin. That’s right, Panto season is in full swing and I was lucky enough to check out this little beauty right in the heart of London’s Euston road. The Aladdin story has been a traditional pantomime subject in England for nearly two hundred years. For those who managed to skip the 90’s Disney film adaptation, (you missed out) the storyline stems from a Middle Eastern folk tale of a street boy named…
