Have you discovered the English Theatre Company?

After landing in London after a lovely week’s break in Portugal with family, I was feeling energised and excited to get back to discovering London. Being away from my normal routine for a while often makes me realise the things I should do when I get back. And after three years of officially being a Londoner I realised I still have so much more to do and see in all corners of the city.view more

I love going to Ikea. When me and my housemate first moved into our lovely London flat three years ago we would stare at our blank walls and lifeless bedrooms and knew what exactly to do: jump in the car and drive to the nearest IKEA. Those iconic yellow and blue buildings are larger than life, displaying those huge unmissable four letters.

It’s always exciting to kit your home out and even better, at a price that doesn’t make your bank account want to curl up and cry.view more

I am literally your biggest fan. After all, you were the first publication to publish an article of mine on your website as part of the ‘Readers column’ section when I was only 21 and petrified of London. This is where my love for writing was first born and for that I cannot thank you enough.view more
