“Live with no excuses and travel with no regrets” Oscar Wilde
As if London wasn’t already cool enough, it gets cooler!
Whether you’ve lived here all your life or just arrived in town, my city checklist will help you hunt out the hidden gems.
THE GAUCHO FILM CLUB – EXPERIENCE BEYOND DINING
I never get tired of cinemas and fine dining but how about the two combined?!
Gaucho now has its own Film Club with a private VIP screening where you eat and drink everything you see on the silver screen.
I’ve already had the pleasure of enjoying the classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s and what a unique experience it was! We’re not just talking popcorn and pick ‘n’ mix, but dishes and cocktails inspired by the movie’s most memorable, edible moments. Perfect for date night.
Address: 60A Charlotte St, Bloomsbury, London W1T 2NU
MR FOGG’S COLLECTION OF PECULIAR EXPERIENCES
There might not be another place in the world that’s bursting with more cute, trendy, and Instagram-worthy bars than London.
If you are looking for place that is unique, adventurous, peculiar and immersive… Mr Fogg’s is the one for you!
The bars include: Gin Safari, Winter Whiskey Tasting, Pink Gin Cruise to tipsy Socie-Tea and Sunday Roast.
Inspired by Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in 80 Days each of the bars will transport you back to the Victorian era where you can enjoy over 200 gins to choose from!
The bars are like small museums, stuffed with global curios, a shrine to the peculiar and unusual. They are worth a visit just to admire the spectacular deco!
I have visited 5 out of 6 bars and you can read about some of my experiences HERE.
VERTIGO 42 CHAMPAGNE BAR | PANORAMIC VIEW OF LONDON
One of London’s highest champagne bars and not to mention a panoramic view over the city’s most iconic landmarks!
I’ve visited the bar quite a few times and I have to admit that the view sweeps me off my feet every single time.
Keep an eye on Groupon offers where you can snap up their “50% off” offers.
Find out more about the bare HERE.
Address: Level 42, Tower 42, 25 Old Broad Street, London EC2N 1HQ
DINE LIKE ROYALS DO AT THE MEDIEVAL BANQUET
How about joining King Henry VIII at his royal banquet and be part of 1,000 years’ history at London’s extraordinary dinner-theatre?
I’ve done it twice and would do it again! A 4-course medieval-style banquet, unlimited wine and ale plus a 2-hour interactive show with knights, minstrels and magicians. You can make it even more fun and hire a costume. The evening concludes with a disco and you don’t have to ask me twice when it comes to dancing!
Address: Ivory House, St Katharine Docks, London E1W 1BP
PARTY IN THE SKY | BALLOON FLIGHT
Maybe not exactly based in London but you can book this truly unforgettable experience from 100+ locations.
This is a fabulous way to enjoy breath-taking views, landmarks and the wonder of nature from a new and unique perspective.
A unique combination of exhilaration and serenity, as you go up, up and away to drift gently across the UK’s stunning landscapes at anything up to 5,000 feet.
And it gets better, once the flight is over … Champagne is served…
AFTERNOON TEA AT THE RITZ
If you are looking for exceptionally high standards and an exquisitely luxurious experience to celebrate a special occasion, you must indulge in a slice of one of the finest British traditions and take Afternoon Tea at The Ritz.
The entire experience is seamless from beginning to end, with the afternoon tea being served within ten minutes of sitting down, complete with champagne, finger sandwiches, scones (with clotted cream and jam), sweet treats and extra confectionery.
Find out about my experience HERE.
Christmas is getting closer so why not to treat yourself to one of these wonderful experiences?

yes, we are reporting more and more infections each day so it’s for the best to move it to the next year. Let’s hope we can travel more next year xx
I was supposed to be in London a couple of weeks ago but because of the Covid situation we had to cancel! I hope I will get there soon, and I’m bookmarking these experiences for when I do!

London does have a lot to offer. The film club that combines dinning and film viewing sounds wonderful. I like that the dishes available are inspired by the film displayed. I bet that adds to the atmosphere.
The bar inspired by Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days sounds wonderful as well. They do have an impressive selection of drinks.
The balloon ride sounds like a wonderful experience as well.
Thank you for sharing all of these.
Such a great guide to amazing experiences in London.
I can’t wait to visit one day. Everything looks so chic and beautiful!
