Thorpe Park is just 20 miles from Central London and easy enough to get to if you fancy a day trip to a theme park while in the city. I’m lucky in that my friends Susie & Steve stay in Staines which is just a few miles away so I spent the night before (and… Read More Thorpe Park, Chertsey

I’ve categorised this under both museum and theme park because it’s both but also not quite either. Voted the UK’s best scare attraction for the past 5 years and with a hope to retain this for 2014 this one isn’t for the faint hearted. The experience is essentially split into two, for the first half;… Read More The London Bridge Experience & Tombs

Early last week I was lucky enough to spend some time with one of my oldest friends Kate when she popped down to London with her fiance for a couple of days. She’s quite possibly one of Edinburgh Zoo’s most frequent visitors so it made absolute sense that she would want to see what the… Read More London Zoo, Regent’s Park

A couple of months ago now I was lucky enough to win two tickets to the Sea Life Aquarium via Twitter* and knew that I wanted to take my niece when I went. Armed with a 241 days out ticket as well we got access to the centre for all four of us for just… Read More Sea Life Aquarium London, Southbank

Now I want to start this blog post with a confession that I’m not an arty person I LOVE being creative but I’m just not very good at it (or apparently recognising those that are). I remember being exceptionally excited when I placed in the top 150 of a Scottish art contest as part of… Read More Tate Modern

Ripley’s Believe it or Not is a rather imposing building on the corner of Piccadilly Circus and something I’ve always been intrigued about. Home to over 700 peculiar and amazing exhibits across 6 floors. Ripley’s London is described as “a great place to visit for a day out of the ordinary”.  I wasn’t really all that… Read More Ripley’s Believe it or Not

Last year just before New Year I came to London to see the Spice Girls musical Viva Forever (sadly now closed) and enjoy some of London’s festivities including a wee trip to the Winter Wonderland and also ice-skating at the Natural History Museum. Skating seems to be a very popular activity in London at this… Read More Friday Five: Best Outdoor London Ice Rinks

London has a vast number of free museums which make for a fab day out. Prior to moving London I had already visited the Natural History and British museums which I definitely need to revisit and blog about but I thought I’d visit a new one before doing so. As such the decision was made… Read More Victoria & Albert Museum

My friend Matt’s mum works in a pharmacy and this year they’ve been asked by a charity group to do the theme for their yearly Christmas tree. Wanting to stick to a medical theme they went with the history of Florence Nightingale. So when she came into London for a quick visit we popped in… Read More Florence Nightingale Museum

When you think of London you probably think of one of these five landmarks. There’s a reason for that, they’re stunning. And they’re even more stunning in the sunshine so I took my new camera out for a spin and took a few pics of some of them – I hope you like them! The… Read More Friday Five: Best London Landmarks
