Restaurants with a view – Where to watch Bonfire Night fireworks

October 20, 2016 by ellie

Want to celebrate the 5^th November with a bang this year? It’s obvious that the best view of a firework display is out in a park or even in your own back garden with some hot chocolate and a sparkler, but let’s face it, it’s getting very cold out there. Why not watch a dazzling display in the warmth and comfort of a restaurant sipping a glass of champers? The same goes too for New Year’s Eve (it will come around quicker than you think), welcome 2017 in style and watch the colourful action unfold below from these fabulous restaurants in the heart of the city.

October 10, 2016 by ellie

For an awesome day out with the family, London is simply full of fun activities to entertain all ages and now is the time to make the most of the city’s outdoor spaces while the sun still shines! And of course, even if it’s a little gloomy out, there’s plenty of places to go and things to do with kids for half-term holidays… from wildlife, to theatre and believe it or not, museums. Get quacking feeding some ducks in St. James’ Park, take a treetop walk at the golden Kew Gardens or go back to the dinosaur years at the Natural History Museum. Whatever you choose, you and your family will not only have a great time, but you’ll learn something new too. Here’s what we recommend:

London 2012 venues – The Olympic legacy?

August 6, 2016 by ellie

{{cta(‘86780b33-5e6e-4b78-ad3b-edb84785d4a0’)}}Can you believe the next Olympics is already here? It seems like the hype of the London 2012 Games was only yesterday, but it’s time again for our nation’s team to rise to the challenge and win all the shiny gold medals they can get! Controversies are still in the air as to whether holding the games in the developing city, Rio de Janeiro was a good idea. However, there is hope that this year’s event will potentially bring a similar legacy to the London 2012 Olympics. Unlike poor Athens that unfortunately could not maintain their sport venues from 2004, London has continued to bring all kinds of benefits to the East part of the city. So what’s become of the Olympic venues that once was home to sportsmen of the world? The good news is that all 560 acres of the Olympic Park is still inviting in the millions of visitors with all the venues still playing a vital role in the development of the area, whilst bringing in some positive economic effects.
