OMG there is loads going on in Kentish Town at the moment! I decided that Easter weekend was the best time to visit two new subterranean cocktail bars on Kentish Town High Street – Ladies and Gentlemen and Knowhere Special.

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…
Afternoon tea @ The Wallace Collection
What do you do to celebrate becoming British? Have afternoon tea naturally! So when my friend Catherine got her citizenship that’s exactly what we did. A big group of her friends headed to the Wallace Collection for champagne afternoon tea in the central court restaurant. But first we headed around the Wallace Collection, a free museum…
Soho Brunch @ Jackson + Rye *now closed*
The other weekend some friends and I went to participate in that age old tradition known as Sing-a-long a Sound of Music… As it started at a reasonable 1pm at the Prince Charles Cinema around the back of Leicester Square we looked for a nearby brunch venue first. We couldn’t get into Kopapa or Dishoom,…

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….
Girls dinner @ Roux at the Landau
Monday night is the new Friday night right?? Well when you have a good deal of £35 for 3 courses & a glass of wine at a prestigious restaurant like Roux at the Landau, Monday night is as good a night as any to try it out! also it’s official – Monday night is martini…
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…
