British Museum London. I had forgotten how breathtaking and interesting a day out this was.

…es you forget about the treasures you have on your own doorstep. Living in London, it is so easy to do that. There is so much to do, so much to see and the most amazing treasures all over. The British Museum is one such treasure. It has been up at least 15 years since I last went there, seeing it as the place that a tourist may visit and there was no need to swing by again. How wrong I was. We decided to have a “cultural” day out one Sunday and th…

THE BERKELEY HOTEL, Knightsbridge, London: The most posh hotel I ever stayed at!

I think that The Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge in London is possibly the most posh, smartest hotel that I have ever stayed in. Admittedly, my perspective is somewhat clouded b the fact that on checking in we were upgraded to one of their suites (the Chelsea) as we had just come from our Civil Partnership ceremony, and they wanted to make the stay more special. And they certainly did. The whole hotel exudes class, style and money from the moment…

London Heathrow Terminal 5: British Airways Concorde First Lounge

…athrow Terminal 5 This article is about British Airways Concorde Lounge at London Heathrow Terminal 5. It describes the lounge, facilities and has many photos showing what you can expect. The latest addition to London Heathrow is Terminal 5, which serves as the main terminal for British Airways. I have flown British Airways First quite a few times both for work, for holidays and when been upgraded from Club. Always a nice touch. One of the perks o…

Cathay Pacific Review: 1st Class London – Hong Kong

…athy Pacific 747 First Class Last year, I travelled on Cathay Pacific from London via Hong Kong to Sydney (Australia). This year I flew with them again from London Heathrow via Hong Kong but this time on to Taipei in Taiwan. On both these trips I was lucky enough to be flying in their First Class cabin. However, this year I was much more impressed – not that I was not last year! I think one of the reasons that I was more impressed this year was th…

About Me

…I was spending at least half the month in New York and then Paris, I kept London as my home base. London is exciting, historic, diverse, and generally fabulous. Of the hundreds of hotels I have stayed in around the world, it is still home to the most luxurious hotel I have ever stayed in: The Berkeley. I stayed here on the night of my wedding to Mark in 2009. They upgraded us and put us in the stunning Chelsea suite. Nothing has beaten it. Berkel…

Los Angeles Luxury Hotels – The London West Hollywood

The London West Hollywood Los Angeles Pool. Posing essential There are many Los Angeles luxury hotels of course, though one of them that positions itself as being one of the trendy ones is The London West Hollywood. Situated just off Sunset Boulevard, it is inside a building that is fairly unremarkable but inside they have tried to make it super hip. The pool up on the roof was quite an experience as it was busy and full of a mix of beautiful peo…

Telegraph Cruise Show 2010: Olympia London

…newspaper sponsored Cruise Exhibition at the Olympia Exhibition Centre in London today. This 2 day exhibition costs around £10 per person on the door, though less if bought in advance. We though we would head there early on the first day when it would be quiet. We arrived around 10.30 and then thing that struck us was the stream of people heading into the venue. It was absolutely packed, and once inside you had to shuffle about as was so busy. Th…

London Heathrow Terminal 2: The pits…

…nd very noisy as there are just too many people packed it. It is very stressful just sitting have an (expensive) coffee. The terminal is due to be demolished at some point along with Terminal 1 to create a new one, but that is not going to be in place even before the London 2012 Olympics. The sale of BAA to Spanish Ferovial was not a help. Burdened by debt all they are obsessed with is putting more people through and having more shops for them to…
