Last week, myself and a friend headed over to The Gladstone Arms in Borough Market to try out their grub after opening their doors after a cheeky refurb! The Gladstone Arms is a well-known pub on the gigging circuit; it’s housed lots of well-known names and the three young entrepreneurs that are now in charge have put their passions of owning their own local pub favourite…

London is inarguably one of the greatest cities in the world. With bustling streets and packed full of fascinating history, it is hard not to want to become closely acquainted with England’s capital city. London attracts not only job seekers from within the UK, but also abroad- it is in the top ten international cities in the world! However, moving to a new country, particularly…

The Royal Hotel in Southend is one of the oldest buildings in the area, built in 1791 and was a former haunt of Royalty and Aristocracy, you’d be surprised to know that this was once a rather dingy nightclub that I visited once and never planned on returning to.

We had the most amazing nights sleep with fantastic food, and today I’m sharing with you, our super relaxing few hours in the SPA Shell that resides behind the hotel in a wooden cabin. This deceiving looking spa is home to four treatment rooms, which combine to create…

Last month we spent a lovely weekend in Ludlow, it was exactly what I needed after the marathon, a long weekend working, a work trip to Copenhagen and non-stop life! The drive from us to Ludlow is around three and half hours, but with traffic, on Saturday morning it took us over four but I assure you, it was more than worth it! Fishmore Hall…
