Camden Brunch @ Colonel Fawcett
One Saturday morning, just as my hangover was dawning I managed to drag some friends to the Colonel Fawcett for brunch to sort myself out. Actually this is slightly exaggerated – their brunch runs from 11am to 3pm on Saturdays and I think we were there in the afternoon when the girls had finished yoga….
Another one bites the dust
I am of course referring to another page of the Oliver Conquest’s Gin List! Page completed A reduced Gin Club with a Reading Problem (me and Kimmy) managed to complete another page of the Gin List last Friday. We also managed to taste some gin’s just in that morning & not even on the separate…
Street food extravaganza
This weekend has been busy on the foodie side. Not only did I visit Street Feast Dalston for the first time in 2 years (oh and how it’s expanded!), but I also got to vote for the London heat of the Street Food awards at Kerb Kings Cross on Saturday. So the street food epic…

Gin by the pool – an afternoon in Chiswick
My procrastination has reached whole new levels… On Wednesday instead of rewriting/finishing my CV I answered the call of Tiva, who had the day off work and headed to sunny Chiswick to visit our friend Alex, who also happens to have a pool at her block of flats. It was an easy choice, I’ve got…
Cocktail crawl in Islington
So Friday night in London means drinks, especially in the summer. This Friday those drinks were cocktails (again!). I met my friends Tiva and Susan in 69 Colebrook Row (aka the bar with no name). They are serious about cocktails here, and it shows with flawless versions of the classics reimagined. My friends adored their…
My favourite gin bar!
It was World Gin Day last Saturday 14th June, so my friend Kimmy and I decided to celebrate with a warm up event at the Oliver Conquest. The Oliver Conquest is pretty much a gin bar – I think their stock of +180 different gins qualifies them for this moniker – they also serve Meantime…
