Afternoon tea is one of my favourite little joys i Afternoon tea is one of my favourite little joys in life 🫖✨ (albeit the reality that the average Brit is absolutely not sitting down to finger sandwiches and a tiered cake stand every week). Still, there’s something so incredibly lovely about making an occasion of the tradition founded by 7th Duchess of Bedford simply from feeling hungry before lunch and dinner. The annual celebration has been running since 2010, with hotels and restaurants across the UK putting on special menus and afternoon tea experiences to celebrate. A few of my London favourites lately: 🌿 Templeton Garden — with seasonal pastries, finger sandwiches and warm scones overlooking their hidden garden 📍 1–15 Templeton Place, London SW5 9NB 👗 The Kensington — especially if you love fashion. They do lots inspired by the latest V&A exhibitions. 📍 109–113 Queen’s Gate, London SW7 5LP 🥟 Dim Sum Library — if you want afternoon tea without the usual afternoon tea. Cue handmade dim sum, Chinese teas and more! 📍 136 Long Acre, London WC2E 9AD 🥐 Café François — a gorgeous French take beside Borough Market, with beautiful pâtisserie, French-inspired savouries and braided babka for scones. 📍 14–16 Stoney Street, London SE1 9AD 🌸 The Original Maids of Honour — one to save for after Kew Gardens. It’s wonderfully old-school, has been serving Kew for more than 150 years and, naturally, you have to try one of their famous Maids of Honour tarts… 📍 288 Kew Road, Richmond TW9 3DU Now the only afternoon tea question that really matters… Jam first or cream first? 🤔 Happy Londoning, Candace x — afternoon tea London, Afternoon Tea Week 2026, best afternoon tea London, themed afternoon tea London, things to do in London #AfternoonTeaWeek #AfternoonTeaLondon #LondonAfternoonTea #ThingsToDoInLondon #londonfood

New on the site is my full 3-day Kuala Lumpur itinerary, with an easy route you can follow so you can spend your time actually enjoying KL rather than zigzagging across the city.

Okay, this is one of the best—and weirdest—pla Okay, this is one of the best—and weirdest—places to get ice cream in London this summer 🍦 The Ice Cream Project has returned to Anya Hindmarch’s colourful corner of Belgravia for its fifth year, transforming everyday food brands into flavours you’d never expect to find in an ice cream tub… Think Lurpak salted butter, Kikkoman soy sauce, OXO stock cube, Paxo stuffing, Green Giant sweetcorn, Euthymol toothpaste and Aunt Bessie’s Yorkshire puddings. Yes, really. Thankfully, you can sample two flavours before committing to a scoop—ideal for trying the wackier ones without ending up with an entire tub of toothpaste ice cream. 😅 But for something more tried-and-true, while still being just the right amount of different, go for the Walker’s Shortbread. Buttery, biscuit-like and genuinely delicious, it was easily my favourite. The whole thing takes place inside Anya Hindmarch’s The Village, a collection of playful concept stores around Pont Street, with the equally lovely Anya Café nearby. Once you’ve finished, make an afternoon of it exploring Belgravia, Sloane Square and Chelsea. Practical bits: 📍 11 Pont Street, London SW1X 9EH 🗓️ Open until 16 August 2026 🍦 £4.50 for one scoop; full tubs are £16 🕙 Monday–Saturday, 10am–6pm; Sunday, 12pm–5pm 📍 Expect queues, particularly on weekend afternoons—and they sometimes close the queue early when it gets too long. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was only a few minutes wait. Let me know whether it’s made your London list 📌 and which flavour you’d be brave enough to try… Happy Londoning, Candace x — The Ice Cream Project, Anya Hindmarch ice cream, unusual ice cream London, summer in London, things to do in Belgravia #TheIceCreamProject #SummerInLondon #LondonIceCream #ThingsToDoInLondon #londonsummer

One of the most fabulous things to do in London th One of the most fabulous things to do in London this summer 👑 One thing that can never be denied: Queen Elizabeth II’s outfits were iconic. From the brightly coloured coats and unmistakable hats to the silk headscarves, evening gowns and immaculate British tailoring—she understood the power of dressing to be remembered. Popped into the wildly popular Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style exhibition at The King’s Gallery, and it did not disappoint! You’ll find more than 300 pieces spanning all ten decades of her life, including her wedding dress, Coronation gown, jewellery, shoes and accessories, alongside never-before-seen sketches, fabric samples and handwritten notes. My favourite detail was the embroidery on her wedding dress, but her Burberry collection was, as expected, insane. It’s one of my top London recommendations this year, although I hesitate to share it when so many dates are already sold out! There are no tickets held for walk-ins and no waiting list, so see if you can squeeze in a visit—or add it to your late-2026 London list, for better availability. Practical bits: 📍 The King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace 🗓️ Open until 18 April 2027 🎟️ £22 for adult tickets from @royalcollectiontrust Is the Queen Elizabeth Il exhibition on your list? Let me know in the comments!

Heidelberg had been in the back of my mind for yea Heidelberg had been in the back of my mind for years…I remember seeing a photo of the city in 2019, its castle overlooking the Old Town, the river and hordes of beautiful historic buildings, and immediately thinking, “I need to go there one day.” Little did I know that around seven years later, I’d finally visit with the very handy recommendations of a friend who’s lived and built a family in Heidelberg for years. From wandering through the Old Town and taking in the views from Heidelberg Castle to visiting neighbourhood farmers’ markets, strolls up to impossibly perfect castle views and stopping at some truly lovely local cafés, there’s so much to get up to here. Comment HALLO and I’ll send you my full Heidelberg guide, including: ✨ My complete three-day Heidelberg itinerary ✨ My favourite cafés, restaurants and local food spots ✨ How to get to Heidelberg from Frankfurt Airport ✨ The best viewpoints, walks and historic sights ✨ Extra museums and nearby day-trip ideas & everything you need to plan your own trip!

A week back from my trip to Heidelberg (and my sev A week back from my trip to Heidelberg (and my seventh or so trip to Germany) and I’m reminiscing on all the little bits I love about the country, including…how they handle bottles! Here’s how it works: ♻️ When you buy many bottled or canned drinks, you pay a small deposit called Pfand. ♻️ Once you’ve finished your drink, you keep the bottle or can rather than throwing it away ♻️ Then you take the bottle-return machine at the grocery store, pop it inside and receive a voucher. ♻️ The voucher can be used towards your shopping or exchanged at the till. You’ll also sometimes see people leave bottles neatly beside bins instead of throwing them inside, so someone else can collect and return them, so a small way for people to earn a little extra money too. Personally, I think it’s such a clever system, and one of my favourite things about travelling: noticing the small everyday quirks that make you think differently about how things are done back home. P.S. - My Heidelberg itinerary is coming out tomorrow too, so keep an eye out for that 🇩🇪 What’s a small thing you love about where you live or somewhere you’ve travelled? This is one of my top ones!

If you’re looking for a Scottish city break, it’s time to put Aberdeen on your list. A city that completely won me over, filled with centuries of history, set right on the charming North Sea, and full of local character. And the best part? You can get there nice and easy on an @lner train from King’s Cross to Aberdeen. A gorgeous train journey just over seven hours—with heaps of coastal views, countryside, city stops and plenty of time to read, work or simply stare out onto picturesque Scotland. 🏨 Where we stayed: @leonardohotelsukire, right beside Aberdeen station — ideal if you want somewhere easy, central and comfortable after the journey, with dinner, cocktails and breakfast.

East London was where my London life first began, East London was where my London life first began, so coming back always gives me a little wave of nostalgia for the younger (and potentially much cooler) version of me who lived here. If you end up East on a summer day, here’s how to spend it! 🚤 Hackney Wick — start with a waterside walk and stop at Barge East for a drink 🌿 Victoria Park — cross through the park and catch the Sunday food market if you can (otherwise walk a bit to the always on…) 📚 Broadway Market — browse the independent shops and bookshops, I really love the coffee from Climpson & Sons Café and The Broadway Bookshop here 🍛 Brick Lane — finish with curry and take your time choosing your winner… Fun fact: Because Brick Lane has its own little pre-dinner game: restaurants will start competing for your attention as you walk past. Hold out and the offers may move from 10% off to 20% off or even a free mango lassi…Hear them out, inspect the menus, then make your decision. Aladin was the winner for this night! Practical Bits: 🚇 You can Start at Hackney Wick and head home from Shoreditch High Street or Aldgate East. 📌 SAVE this for your East London day out! And let me know, when’s the last time you had a day out in East?
