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).

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

✔ transport guidance, hotel recommendations, & unique tours

✔ detailed location information and costs for each itinerary recommendation

📌 SAVE these London wine bars for your list 🍷 It’s rare that I get to combine two of my favourite things at once. (Current list also includes a coffee and a good book, and potter and a podcast.) On that note…here are some fabulous London wine spots:

📍 Humble Grape, Islington (11–13 Theberton St, London N1 0QY)

For lovely small plates and a huge wine selection from independent vineyards.

📍 Bar Rioja, King’s Cross (3 Varnishers Yard, Regent Quarter, London N1 9FD)

A tucked-away courtyard bar entirely dedicated to Rioja, with excellent jamón and over 40 wines from the region.

📍 Vagabond Wines Paddington, (6A Sheldon Square, London W2 6DL) & across London

A laid-back self-pour wine bar, incredible for trying a little bit of everything (and great value too).

The only question is, are you red or white? (I’m orange 🍊)

Comment HALLO and I’ll send you my full Utrecht

Comment HALLO and I’ll send you my full Utrecht guide—with where to stay, what to do, what to eat, and how to spend a very lovely few days here. 🇳🇱

Planning a trip to the Netherlands? If you’re looking for an Amsterdam alternative, Utrecht is SUCH a good shout.

Just 25 minutes by direct train from Amsterdam, it has all the Dutch canal charm, but is smaller, calmer, and much easier to explore for a day or weekend trip.

From lunch by the Oudegracht, wandering around Domplein, vintage shopping on Voorstraat, and ending the evening with live music tucked inside an old canal cellar, it’s such a lovely city to enjoy.

Has Utrecht made your list?

Comment HARTWELL and I’ll send you my full guide

Comment HARTWELL and I’ll send you my full guide to staying at the property—including more bits on history of the house, what to enjoy during a stay, and practical tips for booking. 🏡🇬🇧

Hartwell House & Spa is one of those rare hotels where the house itself feels just as much the experience as the stay. A National Trust-owned stately home in Buckinghamshire with centuries of history, including its years as home to Louis XVIII of France and his exiled court in the early 1800s (and Queen Marie Joséphine of Savoy).

Today, that history sits alongside grand drawing rooms, a spa, afternoon tea served in the house itself, a beautiful bar, and more than 90 acres of grounds to explore.

Practicals:

📍 Hartwell House & Spa, Vale of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire HP17 8NR // @hartwellhouse

🏨 Rooms from £259 per night

Perfect for a countryside weekend from London. 🇬🇧

Would you stay here?
