Episode three of romanticising being grounded in London. I travel for a living, but for the last few weeks I’ve been forced to stay at home… so instead of wishing winter away, I’m leaning into my own city.

I’ve managed to pack a lot into the last few weeks: an afternoon tea at The Lanesborough (one of my favourite London hotels!) The room where they serve tea is stunning and they’re currently offering a limited-edition Bridgerton afternoon tea inspired by season four. If you’re a fan, don’t miss it.

An evening at the National Theatre for Ballet Shoes, which was such a dose of joy and a really wonderful show. The West End gets a lot of attention (for good reason), but I have truly never seen anything but incredible productions here. It’s always worth it!

I’ve also been trying a lot of new restaurants lately (a LOT!) So many new openings &so many long-standing spots finally ticked off my list… including Dim Sum Library near Covent Garden. Contemporary Cantonese with Hong Kong roots, and everything we tried was fantastic. My full list of restaurants tried and loved is heading to my clients and Substack subscribers. 

In between I hosted a little Galentine’s brunch at my flat, went on lots and lots of walks in the park with Andrew & Einstein, and took plenty of meetings with hoteliers as I prep for a very busy season of travel ahead.

As much as I love being out in the world (and yes, I’ve felt slightly trapped without my passport at times), this pause has reminded me that London, even in the bleakest stretch of winter, is overwhelmingly filled with wonderful things❤️
