Brixton Market – London
Brixton Market is one of my favourite places in London. First, the atmosphere is great and there are so many great places to get food and drinks and, second, it is one of those areas a bit off the beaten track so 99% of the people frequenting it are locals. I have been a Londoner…

A Sunday afternoon in Herne Hill
Last weekend Andrew and I wanted to make the most of the sunshine as it seems the warm weather may be leaving us soon and the normal British summer weather will resume shortly (read rainy and cold). Exploring a new part of London is one of our favourite hobbies so we thought we would find…

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…

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…

Maltby Street Market – London
I have been based in London for more than seven years now so one would think I know the city pretty well, which I do, yet every now and then I make an amazing new discovery. That is the beauty of London, it never ceases to surprise you! This brings me to today’s venue: Maltby…
