Book lover in London

“Kate is a fantastic guide and leader. I feel inspired and motivated to undertake more treks, which as an inexperienced woman who wants to get more outdoorsy feels so empowering. However, my favourite part is the adventuress community - I have done both the compass navigation and confidence outdoors courses, and the community that Kate has an integral role in developing of Adventuresses feels like a truly welcoming, supportive environment. I’ve already booked onto more adventuress walks - if you’re not sure, just sign up!”

“We were lucky to have found such a luxurious and caring home for our Siberian cat while we were away for a month. We were worried about leaving our kitty for so long especially as it was his first time away from home but the moment we met Daisy and her beautiful cattery we knew he would be very well looked after. The suites are immaculately clean and full of all the creature comforts a kitty could dream of. Daisy played with him a few times every day and it was clear when we picked him up that he was very happy, really well fed and beautifully groomed. We also absolutely loved the frequent photo updates and picture postcards Daisy sent us - what a treat! We can’t recommend this place enough and this is definitely our go-to place if we ever need someone to look after our cat again.”

“After years of wanting a tattoo and following Isaac's work, I booked an appointment with him and honestly, I have absolutely no regrets. I finally got my first tattoo done with him and am completely in love with it. He put in so much detail and was attentive and creative with my ideas and desires, providing genuine advice on how to best make my ideas work. It wasn't just about financial gains but a genuine passion of his, which I really appreciated. Both he and his team are such genuine, compassionate and kind hearted people, with incredible talents. It was an overall very positive experience and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who wants a high quality tattoo. Thank you Isaac!”

“We were meant to go here a couple of years ago then the pandemic hit so it got delayed. It was tricky to book as it's so popular but we got a table for lunch and decided to each have a different tasting menu so we could try everything on offer. The service was brilliant, the food was sublime. The offer of a cheese course before the desserts was very welcome, and the selection of cheeses was great.”

“Rosa was excellent! I’m loving my new hair! It was busy, but very friendly, everyone rubbing along together and no pretence. Also very reasonable- I’ll be back. Thank you so much!”

“We managed to Escape, and the wall of shame, with a little be of extra time :) Thanks guys. We a family of 2 adults and four children did the Prison Break escape. We loved this experience it was pitched at the right level, but you must have your thinking caps on, as it took as 20 minutes to get the first part open. The prison guards were a nice touch, but you must be prepared to embrace the experience!! The staff were friendly and their explanation were thorough. If you like solving puzzles under pressure I'd defo recommend a visit.”

“Could not have had a better experience getting my first piercings at InkHouse. Spoke to KJ a couple weeks before I could get it done to discuss options. He talked me through the process and what to expect on the day and aftercare wise. They found kept a bar that was exactly what I was after for when I turned up on the day, which shows you how much they care about their customers. I was totally comfortable during the piercing (helix and earlobe). They didn’t rush me out the door at all, which is what I gather other studios do. I’ve had to go in a couple times since for aftercare queries, and they’ve been just as great. If I’m getting any other piercings, they’ll be done here!”

“Tasty bagels, lovely service and they use very good organic oat milk.”

“A historical London theatre with great decorations in central London. I came to see the Nutcracker with my mum this year! We sit on the upper circle. The view was good and no restrictions. But the legroom is quite squashed cause it won’t have enough space. The Nutcracker show was fabulous! Will definitely watch again another Christmas time!”

“One of London's best kept secrets! Fascinating garden and wonderful library. They offer workshops and talks and are also very popular with schools. Do visit.”

“This is the first time I bought my Bolognese dog for her groom at Wet Dog and I am so happy with their excellent personalised service. She looks absolutely gorgeous and smelt lovely. The staff are extremely friendly and helpfulI would highly recommend. Thank you Wet Dog”

“So happy to have found Zohra and have always had a great experience. Zohra is great with Flora and she always comes away looking great. zohra is always very honest about what flora needs done and is very efficient and good value for Money. Highly recommend.”

“I ordered here for the first time and I loved the food. The brown stew fish was so delicious and flavoursome, the rice and peas were tasty, the steamed vegetables were enjoyable and the dumpling was good. The dumpling was thrown in for free which was a nice touch. The portion sizes are very generous, really good value for money. I phoned the restaurant to see if the rice and peas were included with the brown stew fish and the woman on the phone was really warm and friendly. I've tried many Caribbean takeaways in East London and this one is by far the best. I would highly recommend!”

“Always go here for great gyros wraps during lunch time. Usually not really busy and heavily underrated. Amazing prices and high quality food. Always recommend their Souvlaki!”

“Consistently great place with great friendly staff. Highly recommend. Down the road there are others who do breakfast and brunch like Dulce, but they tend to be incredibly busy whilst also lacking in quality. Amazing full menu.”

“Love this little cafe. Always vist while staying at the travelodge for the country music festival”

“Wonderful space arranged over three floors. It is open to the public and free to visit. The main street level area has a coffee bar and a mix of exhibits and products for sale. The first floor is a restaurant and bar. And the basement level is an exhibition space and micro library. The staff are friendly and helpful.”

“My friends and I have had so much fun playing these escape rooms! We have done 5 of them now, and we plan to do the final two, as well. Butcher’s Lair and Wizarding School were by far my favorite so far. The staff are all so kind and the rooms have some really cool designs and features to them. Definitely recommend. Shout out and gratitude to Noel, Brian, Ed, and Gia for helping us out today, you rock!”

“I stayed at nhow hotel last week for my partner's anniversary and I could have not taken better decision! Everything was perfect, we loved the quirky design of the property and the funny corridors up to the floors Cheers to Carlo for making our room absolutely stunning with some romantic decoration, it was a great surprise for my partner Breakfast was tasty and staff very welcoming Location is a bit of a walk for the closest station but not so difficult to get to the city center We will be back in this hotel for sure”

“French charm, exquisite cuisine, great service. It feels almost like a time travel. It takes you to good old times, somewhere in Paris. The noise of the city is left outside. Nice and cozy interior. Attentive staff. Top quality French cuisine. Feels very authentic. They do Canard de Rouen a la Presse, which is quite rare these days. I had their signature Simmenthal beef tartare. It is skillfully prepared at the table. We had it medium spicy and it was out of this world. The taste, the texture is just a perfection. I also ordered Agneau en Croûte or Lamb Wellington which was an absolute delight. Another dish mastered to a perfection. At one moment I had an illusion of being a jury member at the French cuisine competition and served with a champion dish. Wine list is well balanced and I liked it had some fine half-bottles as well. The only remark I have is for the plateau de fromages. I wish the selection of cheese could be even better. My strong recommendation for anyone looking for an old fashioned small French restaurant in London. And sincere thanks to the team.”

“A work of art commissioned by the National Trust and opened in 2018 by Mark Wallinger. The Writ in Water is situated in round concrete building a short walk from the Magna Carta memorial. In the centre there is a pond with an inscription of Clause 39 of the Magna Carta that can be read in the reflection on the water.”

“I stayed at the Premier Inn last month before moving into my flat in London and had a wonderful experience. I got there early and the staff kindly stored my four suitcases while I ran some errands. When I returned, the most lovely woman was working at the front desk. Her name is Consuelo and she is an absolute gem. Since I had so much luggage, I took two bags down to the room and before I could return to the front desk there was a knock at my door. Consuelo had brought the two suitcases weighing 45kg in total down to my room herself and made sure I got them. The room itself was spacious, clean, and comfortable. As a young female traveling solo I felt incredibly safe throughout my stay. The next few mornings Consuelo greeted me with a big smile and helped me with breakfast. I am gluten-free and the staff was super knowledgable and was able to give me a lovely GF breakfast of hash browns, bacon, GF toast, and loads of other goodies. Overall, I had a fabulous stay and will definitely recommend the Premier Inn in Tooting to any friends and family that visit. Thank you Consuelo for being so helpful and kind!”

“I am absolutely blown away with how well looked after my rabbit was during his time in quarantine! These people clearly care deeply for every furry friend they are taking in. I wholeheartedly recommend LEKF :)”

“Friendly and knowledgeable staff who care about their birds. Highly recommended”

“Delicious food and great service!! Definitely will be going again!”

“I was looking for lunch but wanted a relatively light and quick sandwhich but I didn’t want a supermarket meal deal or a bland coffee chain product. I walked from Clapham South to Clapham North and didn’t see anything on the way until the last moment when I found this place. I was really happy with my handmade baguette with spicy tuna, cheddar and cucumber. Wish there were more independent cafes like this around. I don’t live that local to this but If I’m ever in the area I will definitely come back”

“Sara & Douglas have created a beautiful restaurant atmosphere at Locale. They were amazing with allergies and when I learnt the reason why I was even more touched. From the bar staff, waiters and chef they are so polite. I really enjoyed my meal there. A go to place to dine in Fulham and always thinks of the local community. I was very honoured when Sara kindly offered her venue to us for free to host a social and networking night for business and local residents for the benefit for the community.”

“Moved to St James' Street area recently and tried Chow & Cha just before lockdown and was blown away! Very good value, really tasty dishes packed full of flavour! Generous with the extras too :) Special recommendations for the Crispy Chilli Beef (see pic) - best in town! And the crispy seaweed is A+++ Was sad to see Chow & Cha close for a few months but can safely say (after tonights order) they are BACK with a BANG.... Yum yum yum! Thanks C&C, until next time, your friendly neighbours, Rob & Esther”

“My experience was awesome. The quality & test of food was awesome! I loved it! Behaviour of staffs ware nice & friendly too. Price was reasonable to me. I recommend to others to get the food experience.”
