Last week I was lucky enough to get hold of a couple of tickets to the screening of "I'm Here" by…read moreSpike Jonze, a 30 minute produced for Absolut Vodka (a client at my work). I'd seen a couple of snippets from the film and was excited to see the whole thing, particularly as it was being shown in Brewer Street mulit-storey car park of all places. We arrived early and although it was a bit shit to be kept outside in the rain it was well worth the wait, despite getting rather wet. As we entered we walked down a flight of stairs and through a door into a very 'non-carpark' looking space with a popping bubble wrap carpet. The free badges and drinks vouchers went down a treat and we began to congregate in front of the projected screen. It seemed that we were going to have to park our bums on the floor until a series of cardboard boxes began expanding with inflating air beds breaking out of them! So we got comfy and the film began. The film was about a robot/computer love story and it was really good. I'd love to know if it's going to be available for everyone to see soon but in the mean time check out the trailer below.

Went here for London Fashion Week 2016. Was very lucky to be invited. A good use of the space for…read morethe catwalk, and showrooms. On three levels, Level 1 for registration, press and buyers lounge, Level 2 for Designer Showrooms, ranging from Ready-to-Wear to accessories and bags, jewellery and footwear, and finally Level 3 for the actual catwalk shows, which is by invitation only, but can be watched live on the london fashion week website.

Having booked an early departure on Eurostar we had the problem of travelling to St. Pancras from…read morehome. The train fare was more expensive than the deal we got from Eurostar. Trawling the net I came across Lomax Parking. What a find that was. For £15 a day (cheaper than most airports) we booked a place. A bonus was that if parking for 3 days or more, there is a courtesy taxi to the station and pick up on return. PERFECT. Everything went so smoothly, thanks to those guys at Lomax.

I saw many recommendations for Sky Garden when doing research for my trip to London, and I can say…read morethat it's well deserved. You really can't beat a free observation deck. Though Sky Garden is free, you still need to book a timed reservation in advance...as in, right when they release the dates 3 weeks in advance. They will run out pretty quickly even if you wait a few days, especially if you're going during busy season. I saw that the reservation is good for one hour, but honestly, they didn't check when I went so they might not be strict on that depending on the crowd level. I went in about 20 minutes early because I wasn't doing anything. You'll check in and go through security. Then you'll get in an elevator to the top. My reservation was at 10:00am, so I got through the initial line and security quickly, but I imagine it would be a long wait later in the day. The view out is great, and there's a balcony so you can take pictures outside. I think the interior architecture was the highlight though along with the greenery. There's so much natural light that gets in the room. It would have been amazing to go during sunset, but that didn't fit in with my plans. Luckily, the view in the morning was good, and the sunny weather was on my side. They have a cafe and a restaurant there. Though overpriced, I still got a flat white to sip on while I took in the views. Overall, I spent about an hour at a slow pace. You definitely don't need that much time, so if you have the chance to visit, it's definitely worth it. Only issue was the line to go back down took longer than expected since people don't maximize elevator space.

Sky Garden ended up being such a fun experience while we were in London…read more We started at the restaurant on the 27th floor and ordered a bottle of champagne for my friend's birthday. They gave us a really nice birthday discount which was unexpected and appreciated. The service the whole time was fantastic and the views were honestly incredible. After that we went down to the 26th floor and stayed there for a while because the vibe was just really good. Live music, more amazing views, people hanging out and enjoying themselves... it felt very "London night out" in the best way. Touristy? Sure. Worth it? Absolutely. Definitely something I'd recommend making time for if you're visiting London.

We enjoyed our week stay in Covent Garden. We took full advantage of the Covent Garden Market,…read morevisiting in several occasions. The Market is picturesque with lovely flower carts by the entrances. Historically, Covent Gardens were the gardens for the convent. Today, the beautiful enclosed market hosts various vendors that change regularly. The market is a great way to connect with locals. We went to the market four times during our visit. On Sundays, various art vendors set up and we visited with a local fossil dealer and purchased a couple fossils. We loved our dinner in one of the nearby cafes. On Mondays, antique dealers set up and sell various treasures. My husband bought me a vintage bracelet. We also watched a quintet play in the atrium. We found a few reasonably priced souvenirs to take home for gifts. Plenty of great restaurants surround the Market. We ate at several places and enjoyed our meals. The Market always seems to be new and people were friendly.

Think Rodeo Drive in London. It's a fun area to visit and check out all of the amazing offerings that most probably can never afford lol. Another must-see for hitting tourist areas in the West End.

The worst thing about this market is that it took me so long to discover it. I have fallen in love…read morewith this entire area and can't wait for my next trip to the UK so I can return and continue exploring. There is a lot to see in the Camden Market area. I wandered around for at least 4.5 hours, and I still didn't manage to see everything. From fancy to funky, this region has it all. Take your time, don't mind the crowds and soak it all in. In all my visits to London (which have been many) I have never thought of London as the place to go to shop. Exchange rates are not favorable. This market area had the cool and unusual and vendors I could bargain with. Be aware that some only take cash, so make sure to not have to rely on plastic when you go.

Wow this place has changed. I worked here (before the stables were opened up) when they used to…read morejust be one level of indoor markets. The Stables is now a huge maze of clothing, gifts, antiques, FOOD and souvenires. Very crowded, a little on the expensive touristy side but still a great place to go walk around and look for some very unique items and clothing.

Unhappy. We have been charged 5 times!! (£74.00!!!) And only parked for 6 hours!!…read more We only noticed because we saw the charges on our bank account statement whilst checking for something else. If this is a "mistake" (we have emailed car.parks@cityoflondon.gov.uk seeking clarification) then how many others are being charged stealth charges??
