How to Go Zero Waste in London

By

Living waste free can seem an insurmountable task… at first. I know I was pretty overwhelmed when I decided to push towards being plastic free. I believed I had to tackle absolutely everything at once and that I was the worst person on earth if I let a single plastic bag weave its way into…

Reasons to Love Living in London

By

I made a decision during the first few hours of New Years Day – that being to make more of an effort to live more mindfully. It’s a super wanky word, yet so relevant at the same time. So yes, I’m going all Power of Now on you. What better way to do so than…

A Fright Night at Screamland

A Fright Night at Screamland

By

The lighting in the maze was dim. I stuck my hand out in front of me, making contact with the wall, which was made out of reflective glass. My reflection stared back at me, looking equal parts apprehensive and amused. I shuffled forward, using the mirror as a guide until I came upon a set…

Best things to do in Margate, UK

By

I’m utterly fascinated by British seaside villages, for reasons I don’t fully understand myself.

The Blood Moon in London

By

What do you do when you finish work at an impossibly late hour on a ridiculously clear night? You stay up to watch a rare celestial event, of course. What exactly is the blood moon business that everyone is harping on about? It’s a lunar eclipse, combined with a ‘super moon’, which could be seen…

A Day Trip to Dismaland

By

Australia is a wonderful place to hail from. I wouldn’t swap my upbringing for anything in the world. That being said, my home country is a really long way from the rest of the world. There were many moments growing up when I felt I was impossibly far away from all the action, completely missing…

Little Green Street in London

By

Over the weekend I had the opportunity (read: forced my boyfriend to accompany me) to visit a small cul-de-sac in Kentish Town – “Little Green Street”. The street, which was immortalised by The Kinks in the music video of their 1966 hit Dead End Street had spiked my interest for a number of reasons and…

Dans Le Noir? A Meal in the Dark in London

By

Anyone who has seen the movie About Time will recall the scene where the protagonist Tim, meets the love of his life, Mary. They have a meal together in a darkened restaurant, with no idea of what the other may or may not look like. I remember thinking: “that is such a weird and wacky…
