I had heard a lot about the Mark Hotel from friends and colleagues in London and it was definitely on my hit list for places to vist/stay in NYC. Little did I expect to be visiting in September and spending a night there. I have stayed at some amazing resorts worldwide and more recently the [...]
The much anticipated Rosebery at The Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park opened its doors to the public in May. I was super excited and I must admit that my first tour of the room left me in awe. I haven't seen a tea room of this standard yet in London and this has to be the [...]
On a cold wintry day there is nothing better than being seated in Notting Hill's hidden gem, the Paul Rhodes Bakery with a delicious brownie (one of the best and I must say the richest in London) paired with a hot latte!I had the pleasure of visiting Paul Rhode's bakery earlier this year and the [...]

One fine evening after work I was walking around Selfridges and we came across the elegant Corner Restaurant. Extremely chic and reminded me of Marcus Wareing's restaurant at The Berkeley, [...]
I had the pleasure of visiting Primrose Hill for the first time ever, and I am very glad I did that! Had I not I would not have discovered the gorgeous Primrose Bakery on Gloucester Avenue and would never have realised why Ashma would go on about it so much.Located in a very residential area, [...]
I first heard about Melrose and Morgan when I was at the Primrose Bakery and their manager highly recommended I pay them a visit. My experience at Melrose and Morgan was not just about a good coffee, but rather a learning experience about coffee, how it should be made and for the first time in [...]
