London, lately.

Lately… in London.

Despite a promise to myself to be in town more often, I still seem to be jumping in and out like a yoyo. Oh well, the in between moments are treasured beyond belief, and perhaps that’s why.

Many of you email to ask what I do when in London and I wanted to answer by compiling my usual routine, my go-to’s and favourites for coffee, beauty, food – you know, just life.

You will see below, I’ve jotted down my preferred… follow in those footsteps over a few days in London. Can you believe I’ve been here almost FOUR years?!! Time flies when you’re having much too much fun.
