Bio
The London I've been discovering is usually off the well-beaten track.I love the nooks and crannies and walking along the streets steeped in centuries worth of history. I'm fond of Zone 1 because that's where it all began centuries ago.

London Underground is famous globally, but the one phrase that sticks in people’s minds is ‘Mind The Gap’. You’ll repeatedly hear the station staff reminding people to stand behind the yellow line. Unlike Paris, we don’t have safety doors on London Underground.

The Serpentine
You can’t miss The Serpentine in Hyde Park. It’s a crowd puller like London’s crown jewels. I avoid the lake during the peak season unless it’s during the weekday, when you can walk at your own pace without the crowds. Come the weekend? Forget it. However, nabbing a deckchair early over the weekend can be a good idea too.
