📍Places & London recommendations in video:

🏛️ Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art - Exhibition at the @vamuseum (on until November 8th)

🫖 Themed Afternoon Tea @hotelkensington (’Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Tea’)

🍵 Matcha at @howmatchaofficial (also the matcha place wasn’t new, I’m just a millennial content creator 🤣)

🍹 Summer cocktails at @coppaclub.marylebone

🍕 Pizza from @alleycatspizzalondon

🌳 Regent’s Park in spring, nothing like it!

Happy Londoning!

ad @icelollyholiday Gran Canaria is one of those places that makes you question staying in the UK for winter…and it’s only four hours from London. ✈️

But before you book your lush island holiday, I suggest using Icelolly to compare prices for your trip. They make it deliriously easy to compare the same dates and destination side-by-side, then filter like-for-like (all-inclusive, baggage, deposits), so you’re getting the best value for your holiday every time.

📌SAVE and let me know if Gran Canaria’s made your list for 2026 🌞

Happy travels,

The most gorgeous place to be in London from late

The most gorgeous place to be in London from late April to early May, and it’s right in South West London 🌷

Paid a visit to the iconic Isabella Plantation for the season, and per usual, it did not disappoint ✨ it’s truly such a gem in the city and a beautiful place to lose yourself for an hour or two in London, SAVE to visit for yourself 📌

P.S. - To get here take the 65 bus from Richmond Station, followed by a 30-minute walk through the park or the 85 bus from Kingston, followed by a 15-minute walk, there’s also a free hop-on/hop-off bus that’ll drop you off at the entrance. It runs between all the Richmond Park car parks and operates Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Happy to be bored from a beautiful hotel room ✨

On a serious note, my first solo trip to LA at 18 (before moving to London alone at 18 as well, a big year!) taught me just how incredibly freeing it is not to rely on anyone else to make your travel dreams come true.

Independence, especially as a woman, is a freedom and a superpower—use it 🌍 and remember that you don’t always need a plus one to see beautiful places (yes, even in a relationship).

When was your last solo trip? Let me know in the comments!

Speaking about the Londonmaxxing trend—alongside @mayorofldn Sadiq Khan—what it means to appreciate London to the fullest and lean into everything the city has to offer.

So grateful for my job, and for opportunities like this. The version of me who arrived here from the US at 18 would have found this very hard to believe. 💭 but here we are!

Comment ‘SOLO’ for my one-day solo itinerary to Amsterdam, with where to stay, things to do, locations, safety tips and a tried and tested one-day itinerary for a beautiful day in the city 🌷

Amsterdam is one of those places people usually associate with a party scene and a bit of a crazy vibe, but if you go beyond the stereotypical tourist—it’s a gorgeous city for a simple day (and few days) of solo exploring, wandering canals, gobsmackingly beautiful photo taking and popping into some incredible boutique shops and cafés.

And yes, indulge in a Stroopwafel or two…

Would you travel Amsterdam solo?

📌 🇬🇧 You have to visit this UK city

Only two hours from London, this is one of England’s oldest cities, home to a beautiful cathedral, cobbled streets, independent shops, cosy pubs, and a lovely quayside that makes for a very good weekend away.

It’s one of those UK cities that quietly wins you over—it’s easy to explore, full of history, and a lovely shout if you’re looking for somewhere different for a weekend trip, and if you have longer, you can add on Dartmoor, Exmouth and the Jurassic Coast to your trip too.

Some bits to get up to:

🚆 Start with a scenic train journey with Great Western Railway

🛏 Check into the charming and central @exeter_rougemont

🍷 For dinner, make your way to the local @hourglassexeter

⛪️ Wake up and head to the breathtaking @exetercathedral

🛍 Wander down cobbled Gandy Street and pop into Royal Albert Memorial Museum for beautiful exhibits and free entry.

🍸 Have a weekend lunch at @crave_exeter for delicious cocktails, bold plates, oysters & waterside views

⛵️ Then stroll along the historic Exeter Quay—think antique cellars, riverside cafés, and a little maritime magic

If you’re planning a visit, COMMENT ‘Guide’, and I’ll send you my full Exeter guide — with where to stay, what to do, where to eat, more nearby day trips too ✨

COMMENT ‘London Guide’ to get yours 🎡🇬🇧

Hi, I’m Candace 🙋🏽‍♀️ I’ve lived in London for 10 years and am a full-time London travel blogger, which means I spend A LOT of time discovering and writing about the best things to do in the city.

From exploring and writing about every neighbourhood in London to visiting all its tourist attractions—I’ve compiled years of Londoning into what I truly believe is the absolute perfect guide for visiting the city.

The Tourist Itineraries Include:

✔ carefully curated itineraries with travel guides for a 3,5 or 7-day trip to London

✔ live locations, an interactive map, and directions via Google Maps (with video instructions) to enjoy your days in London seamlessly

✔ transport guidance, hotel recommendations, & unique tours

✔ detailed location information and costs for each itinerary recommendation

✔ bonus ‘Local’s Map to London’ including 500+ recommendations for hidden gems, pubs, cafes, restaurants, photo spots and all my favourite bits of the city you can’t find anywhere else

and lots more...
