You may have recently seen a few street art pictures on my Instagram (follow me @whatskatiedoing here) so when the weather resulted in me missing a street art walking tour, I made my own in Camden and went a little wild with the camera! (Not entirely sure what this is – please let me know if…
Camden
Gin club on a boat!
The most exciting Gin Club with a Reading Problem outing yet! WE MADE GIN!! ON A BOAT M*F*ers! This boat to be precise… Disco Volante – such a great name! Says it all really 🙂 After meeting distiller Will and captain Pat, we headed on board for a quick safety briefing (no arms and legs…
Tweed Run
Last month in the midst of my clean eating challenge I went to support some friends doing the Tweed Run. Now as a typically British event, it’s not a run… It’s a cycle, but you do have to dress in Tweed to take part. Everyone takes this to heart and the costumes are amazing, with…
New Sunglasses for Summer!
Today I’m sharing with you my new sunglasses. I think summer has finally come and so these are now a necessity. After a year travelling I don’t do designer sunglasses – I want something stylish, cheap and easily replaceable if I should accidentally sit on them, or scrape them on a TV stand (that was in…
Camden Brunch @ Market *now closed*
Edit – Market is now closed <sad face> Wandering up Parkway in Camden the other weekend, Laura and I came across Market. It’s a cute little restaurant with a focus on seasonal local produce.

Camden Brunch @ Caravan
Continuing the Camden Brunch theme, Catherine, Laura and I met Arfan at Caravan in Granary Square Kings Cross to try it out. Laura and I walked down the canal from Camden Road – a nice walk along the canal and not far for us to go. I’ve been to Granary Square before – for KERB…
Half term fun @ London Zoo
Where is a perfect outing for a nine year old’s birthday? London Zoo of course! Whilst not cheap at £18 per child (gulp! Thankfully we had some vouchers from Tesco club card to pay for it) it’s worth a full day. Keep costs down as we did and take your own packed lunch and snacks….
Kentish Town Pub Crawl
What started out as a winter walk up to the top of Parliament Hill ended up as a pub crawl/mulled wine sampling session through Kentish Town. The KT graffiti that welcomes you at the train & tube station Whilst we did make it up Parliament Hill, all our photos were a bit shit (think blurry…
Camden for free – British Museum
The best thing about having a friend training to be a blue badge tour guide is getting tours for free!! However everyone can check out of the British Museum for free, even if you don’t have your own tour guide! We caught up with Alex on one of her Sunday training runs, meeting in the…
