England Travel Blog Posts

Let’s start with my hometown London. The London food scene has come a long way. Read my posts on the best London food tours, restaurants in Clapham Junction, restaurants in Earlsfield and restaurants near Victoria Station. And have an afternoon tea to remember at the Mad Hatters afternoon tea.

Mad Hatter’s Afternoon Tea

Check out some of the more unusual things to do in London, the best things to do in Notting Hill, how to experience virtual London while you’re planning your trip and the best Cotswolds day trips from London.

The Notting Hill Bookshop – just like the movie

I am a big fan of the Cotswolds and have spent a bit of time there so if you’re planning a visit check out my guide to where to stay in the Cotswolds. Or check out some of the luxury hotels in Yorkshire.

There are loads of lovely things to do in South Wales and its capital city Cardiff. Winchester could be the cutest town in England you might not know.

Head further south west and you’ll find some great cafes in Exeter and boat trips in Exmouth. There are some great spa hotels in the south west of England and some gorgeous boutique hotels in Cornwall.

Closer to London don’t miss a day trip to Brighton or a stay at some top Kent Boutique Hotels – or Ockenden Manor.

And check out all of the sites used for the filming of the Netflix series The Crown.

They’re all in my England travel blog posts.
