Everyone knows what the shard is but The View at the Shard specifically is an attraction taking up the top few floors of London’s tallest building allowing visitors to take in some breathtaking views of London and it’s surroundings. At the start of last year I won a competition on the lovely Angie Silverspoon’s blog… Read More The View from The Shard

I visited London a handful of times before I decided to take the plunge and move here and on one of those visits (although I can’t remember which) I of course did what most tourists do and headed to the Southbank and the London eye for some incredible views of the Thames. I’ve wanted to… Read More The London Eye

Today is officially the first day of Summer – although you wouldn’t know it looking at the weather. What the bleep is all this rain about eh? Anyway, back when the sun made its last appearance at the beginning of May my friend Jen and I spent a glorious day playing tourist and visiting the… Read More The Tower of London

It’s been a while since I’ve posted about something completely free to do in London but when I had a few hours to kill after spending the night at Clink78 before my train from Euston I decided to take a nose around the Wellcome Collection just a stones throw away. Part of the Wellcome Trust… Read More Wellcome Collection, Euston

A couple of weeks ago I was very lucky to attend the nightly ceremony of the keys at the Tower of London thanks to my friend Jen. Her original +1 couldn’t make it and I was more than happy to be second choice. We started our evening with a cinema trip to see A Royal… Read More The Ceremony of the Keys, Tower of London

I didn’t start this blog to get freebies and (so far) I’ve never actively asked for any of the perks that I’ve received they’ve always been gifted to me. My favourite thing is actually attending blogger events where I get to meet so many awesome fellow bloggers but to be honest there are so many… Read More The Ultimate London Adventure with London RIB Voyages

Along with the voucher for a St Paul’s Cathedral visit I was also able to get one for a trip to the London Dungeons using my mum’s clubcard points – ta mum! After my experience at the London Tombs I didn’t quite want to try this one on my own and luckily Joanna was up… Read More The London Dungeons

I had a Tesco Clubcard voucher for St Paul’s that needed to be used by the end of this month and this was pretty much the only time I had free in March to go so after lunch we headed to St Pauls. As I mentioned it didn’t open until after 2:30pm but it was… Read More St Paul’s Cathedral

The night before I flew home for Christmas my friend Jen and I popped to Stratford for a trip up to the top of the Arcelomittal Orbit structure. Or as I like to call it, that red wiggly thing near Stratford. A deal had popped up on Groupon for discounted entry with a glass of… Read More Arcelormittal Orbit

This time last week I was such a ball of excitement about re-visiting the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio Tour that I got off the train at Kings Cross rather than Euston where I was meant to be meeting my friend Verity. Ooops! I first had the pleasure of visiting the studios back in March… Read More Hogwarts in the Snow, Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio Tour
