Dance & Theatre, London

Ghost Dances, thank you.

As Rambert retires Christopher Bruce’s Ghost Dances from it’s rep, I’ve written my own personal thank you to one of my favourite pieces of dance. Continue reading Ghost Dances, thank you.

W11 💌 NOTTING HILL —————————— I love the Notting Hill/Portabello Road area on a weekend. Luckily for me I always visit with someone who knows the area inside out, but even we found somewhere to peruse that we hadn’t before. Just a stones throw from Notting Hill Gate station @nottinghillcomicexchange Notting Hill Book & Comic Exchange is one of the most enchanting second had book stores. With creative section markers pointing out books on everything from Music to Magic, it’s not huge but it’s packed with enough to browse for a good while. Plus, support independent book shops amiriiite! #lovelondon #bookshopsoftheworld #bookshopsofinstagram #instadaily #tuesdaytip

W1B 💌 SOHO ————————— Working in soho it’s easy to get sucked into a routine of buying a £5 Pret sarnie and eating it at your desk every day, but when me and my friend met for a catch up we decided to make an effort and try somewhere new and now I’m going to probably come to @thegoodegg_ aaaall the damn time. They have a fab lunchtime deal and I grabbed the above (minted aubergine, pine nuts, tahini and pitta with a salt beef reuben) for £15. A bit more decadent than a cheese n’ pickle baguette but gr8 value for lunch in a lovely place just off Carnaby Street I’d say 🥯🥚🥩#soho #foodporn #saltbeef #lunchtimeinlondon #london

E2 💌 BETHNAL GREEN —————————— Some pubs are great for basking in the sunshine and some are perfect for curling up by the fire in. You know you’ve found a gem if it’s a pub that’s good for both and The Camel in Bethnal Green is gr8 all year round. The perfect place to meet for a pie and a pint before watching the fireworks in Victoria Park in the autumn or a great sunny spot for a drink when the weather is nicer. It’s a little gem 💎 🍺 #London #pubs #eastlondon #pints #summerinlondon #picoftheday #instadaily

SE1 💌 SOUTHBANK ——————————- BEST BURGER IN LDN KLAXON 🤤 Well the best burger I’ve had recently, my favourite always changes but this masterpiece is a cheeseburger with beef brisket croquettes from @nannybills at The Udderbelly on the Southbank. Also find them at Boxpark Wembley, Vinegar Yard SE1 and The Abbey Tavern #burgergram #burger #london #foodporn

SE1 💌 SOUTHWARK ——————————— Can’t help but pray for more bank holiday sunshine this weekend. I spent the last bank holiday basking in the sunshine at @flatironsquare_ which is ideal to plot yourself up with some beers and street food all day long but equally as great for stopping by for one if your crawling around the many bars and pubs in the Borough Market area. Always one of my favourite outdoor drinking holes in London 🌞 #london #beergarden #southwark #summer #bankholiday #picoftheday

SE10 💌 Greenwich @meantimebrewing ————— Londoners love to drink a local brew, and for me you can get more local than Meantime. I live so close to their brewery on Tunnel Avenue that I can smell the hops when I walk to work in the morning and pop and have a pint there within five minutes of leaving my flat. They offer affordable tours of their Greenwich home which include a thorough look around the heart of the brewery and the chance to try their famous beers including the Meantime Pale Ale, London Lager and Yakima Red as well as hear the stories behind the brew and the hops that make them. Plus, if you’re lucky like I was, your tour guide might offer up some free pints if you answer some questions correctly on the way round 🍻#Greenwich #london #meantimebrewery

N1C 💌 KING’S CROSS ——————————— For a poorly forecasted Sunday, King’s Cross is always a gr8 shout. The newly developed Coal Drops Yard @coaldropsyard is a covered outside space with lovely shops and you’re spoilt for choice in the way of coffee and food from the likes of @mortyandbobs and a @dishoom nearby. If, like us, you can’t get a table for a coffee (it started raining and the cafes filled up), @canopy_market is the plaaaaace to go. On Sundays they have a street food market under cover and @for_the_good_of_the_people do the best coffee that you can enjoy on benches in the square. #kingscross #london #sundayfunday

Whose going to @openhouselondon this weekend? 🙋🏻‍♀️🏛⛪️🏢🏭 The @barbicancentre, @nationaltheatre, Coloseum and @oldoperatingtheatre are top of my list. . . . . . . #london #brutalism #brutalistarchitecture #barbicancentre #ldn #barbican #architecture #igersldn #instafav

Mugged off some tourists for taking photos on Regent Street yesterday then realised how pretty it looked and swiftly did the same thing...🤷🏻‍♀️ . . . . . . . #london #sunday #sundayfunday #mondaymotivation #sunny #autumn #sunshine #igersldn #pictureoftheday #instagood #instafav #ldn

My all time favourite pub in London, The Cutty Sark in Greenwich. Right on the river and away from the glare of tourists 🌞🍺 . . . . . . . #publondon #londonpub #pub #ldn #greenwich #se10 #cuttysark #ldn #beergarden

I broke blogging rule number 1 this summer, consistency. (Cont) It’s been a weird one. A knee operation put me out of the game for a while and after a few house bound weeks scrolling through Instagram I decided my blog wasn’t the top of my list of things to do this summer. You might think being stuck to a sofa would be the perfect excuse to write lots, but I didn’t want to write about all the fun things going on in a city I wasn’t currently able to enjoy. After 7 weeks of working from home - when I got the all clear to walk unaided (goodbye crutches and leg brace) - I wanted to make the most of the final month of hot weather with the pals who had helped me limp and hobble around town as best as possible during my recovery. So I did exactly that and I can’t believe it’s September already and I am RUNNING for the tube again (don’t tell my physio 👀). Autumn is my favourite season in London, bring on the museums, pub quizzes, nights at the theatre and changing parks 🍁🍂 #ldn #bloggers #instadaily #picoftheday #autumn #london #igersldn #londoner #travelblogger #retro
