My Week With London, Photos : LOCAL LOVES

Hi again gang! Hope you've all had lovely sunny weekends - how frickin' good has the weather been?! I am writing this in a slouchy sun dress sitting in my little garden and waiting for my hangover-busting wagamamas delivery to arrive. It was my sister's engagement party last night so I'm feeling a little worse for wear after tottering home at 4am when it was starting to get light and the birds were singing VERY loudly.

It's been a mega busy week again folks - two theatre trips, a friend's gig, an evening at the Oval watching the cricket and a lot of family celebrations. I'm pooped! I think a visit to the outdoor pool in Holborn may be in order in the coming week for a bit of healthy rejuvenation. But let's finish this week first shall we? Here you go...

Amazing breakfast at Dishoom in St Martin's Court - been dreaming about the chai ever since

Coffee on New Row in Covent Garden

Late night tubing after an evening at the Southwark Playhouse

It's been a busy, busy week in London town. I went to the press night of Bakersfield Mist starring Kathleen Turner, saw Nick Helm at the Soho Theatre, had drinks on the Southbank, went to the first night of The Roof (blog post about that to follow...) at the National and went to a blogging workshop at the Finchley Literary Festival! 

What have you been up to this week? Did you get any good snaps? Leave your instagram links in the comments, I'd love to see them!

How is it Sunday again? This week has absolutely flown, but I managed to snatch a few snaps as it did. It been a busy week of theatre, drinks and exploring new corners of the city.

My Week With London. 

Tubing around.

Piccadilly Arcade.

Sometimes prosecco just tastes better at home,

Covent Garden Market.

Floral Street

Birthdays in Barons Court.

Always important to keep hydrated.

Commute, commute. Never ending commute.

The best kind of door.

  

Spoilt for choice.

It goes without saying that London is one photogenic beast. I'm constantly snapping away, especially in this gorgeous weather. But all these photos end up just sitting on my phone. So, I thought I'd share them with you each Sunday. Here's the first and I hope you enjoy! 

Please let me know what you think in the comments - should I do this every Sunday?

Piccadilly Circus. I always feel like Bridget Jones when I look up at these screens. What a film!

Underground inspiration

There were many late night journeys home

I took an Instagram workshop at the Cath Kidston flagship store and this was my best pic! My lovely friend Nikki.
