Continuing my mini-series of “What I’m doing instead of being on my honeymoon”— part 2! Continuing to look for possibility in spite of disappointment, I decided to take advantage of an empty schedule by indulging in some local luxuries I often don’t have time for. With how much I travel, my time in London is either spent recharging or prioritizing the places my clients want to visit. I know “a visitors London” like the back of my hand, but my list of personal pleasures like temporary exhibitions or restaurants that are a bit outside of central... they tend to fall fairly low on my priority list if it’s not something my clients are likely to do. 
So the other day, I visited orleanshousegallery — a place that’s been on MY list,  to appreciate some local art with a friend who is local to the area. We went for a walk, caught the sunset & had a lovely little catch up over tea. It was the spontaneous, unscheduled joy I needed and filled my cup. It also made me realize there are probably more clients than I realize who would actually really enjoy this too & challenged me to be a bit more open minded about what I share and recommend around London. So if you’re someone who is keen to get outside the chaos of the city, here are some of my greater Richmond faves: 

✨Petersham Nurseries petershamnurseries 
✨Richmond park
✨Ham House & Gardens hamhousent 
✨Richmond Hill (especially sunset!) 
✨Marble Hill
✨Strawberry Hill House strawbhillhouse 
✨Bingham Riverhouse binghamriverhouse
