Picasso 1932 – Tate Modern – London
This week Andrew and I took the opportunity offered by his company to access one of London’s most popular exhibitions on at the moment: Picasso 1932 – Love, Fame, Tragedy. This is the first Picasso-only exhibition organised at the Tate Modern and reviews have been excellent so we couldn’t not go. I didn’t do much…

Lina Store – London

Using the excuse of a girls dinner, four of us headed there on a Tuesday evening. Lina Store doesn’t take bookings between 6pm…

Deptford Market – London
Every weekend, many street food markets are invading the streets of South East London.

Provence turns purple and it is magical to see, but if like me you have neither the budget nor wardrobe (just yet!) to fly to the south of France and take pictures of yourself…

South London’s best food markets
In the northern hemisphere, summer is joining us in a couple of days, which means it is officially food markets and rooftops season in London! If you have been hanging around my little corner of the internet, you will know that there is nothing I like more than good street food and a drink with…

Machiya – London
Since visiting Japan, I am always craving a good ramen or tonkatsu. Having developed a taste for Japanese variety of food I am always looking for a good and authentic experience away from the sushi conveyor belt restaurant chains. So walking pass Machiya a few months ago and seeing the queue of people, a lot of…
