We sat down with the award-winning blogger to find out her favourite places to visit in London.

My favourite pub in London is… The Churchill Arms, even if it is just for the Instagram opportunities. Outside always has the most amazing displays and inside is just as cool. It’s one of London’s oldest pubs and has been there since 1750.

My favourite club in London is… Maddox, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad night there and the music is always on top.

My favourite view in London is… from Sky Garden, it’s free to get in and has a skyline view all over London right in front of The Shard.


My favourite curry house in London is…
 You can’t go wrong with any of the curry houses on Brick Lane, you have so many to pick from and at some you can also BYOB.

My favourite shop in London is… Petersham Nurseries in Covent Garden. I aim to own everything in that shop.

My favourite place for a date in London is… GONG bar in The Shard, a great view and the cocktails are really inventive. They have one based around Star Wars that levitates – not even lying.

My favourite takeaway in London is… Pretty much anything on Deliveroo. But I absolutely love Firezza pizza and their chicken wing sides.

The best thing about London is… The Underground, it’s so easy to get from one end of London to the other.

The worst thing about London is… The Underground in summer at peak times… it’s just a sweaty sardine box and really not fun.

The three words I would use to describe London are… eventful, inspiring, fun.
