    Some places are like old friends, you love spending time with them and you promise not to leave it that long until you see them again. Then the last thing you know 8 months have passed, but it is okay because as soon as you meet with them again you pick things up exactly where…

    When you blog you every now and then go through a dry spell. You find the editorial schedule you had planned uninspiring or simply have zero ideas what to write about. This was me yesterday. I sometimes face WordPress blank page longer than it takes me to write 400 words. I mentioned in a post…

    Chinatown can be awfully overwhelming the first time you visit. Condensed around six blocks in one of the busiest areas of London, it is packed with people, restaurants, various odours (some pleasant some not), it is very noisy, and could trigger a sensory overload for pretty much anyone. Yet it is home to real foodie…

    I used to never think much about fish and chips, I always considered it to be the British take on fast and easy food. Often the ones I had were too greasy, the fish too dry or the chips too mushy. I was only eating fish and chips when there was nothing else appealing on…

    One magical thing about London is that you sometimes run into some architectural gems which may remind you of a movie. It is because often these places have actually been the background to a movie set. This is the case for Leadenhall Market which is famous among Harry Potter fans to have featured as the…
