Tennis at the Lensbury, Teddington, Middlesex

What's the curbappeal?

- The hotel is situated in a lovely village, west of London (Teddington, Middlesex): think olde worlde atmosphere with lots of lovely, cosy, cafes and pubs. You can also walk along the thames (Richmond is about a half hour jog away - albeit I jogged slowly!)

- friends invited me to play at their tennis club at the hotel. It's got lots of courts, a lovely atmosphere (think cosy village surroundings and relaxed 'ladies that lunch' atmosphere). It's also got lots of tennis heritage.

- however the hotels decor definitely isn't to my taste (very tired & unsympathetically restored: mix of old and new furniture, but not in a good way...)

With love,

Eurostar: to Paris and back - Premium Econony

What's the curbappeal?

- the calming grey interiors and super-comfy armchairs. 

- lovely light breakfast of croissant and jam with strong coffee. The light lunch of lamb salad and tart was equally good

Cafe review: Hand Made Food, Blackheath Village, London

What's the curbappeal?

- gorgeous shabby-chic cafe

- its drool-worthy, hand made, produce 

I stopped by for a post-night-out boost: think bacon sandwich (thick white bread; premium bacon; organic tomato sauce) and, a heavenly flat white. Yum!

My only gripe? Service can be very slow on weekends, as they get incredibly busy, dealing with the local hipsters. But I love you guys so I'll let it slide :)

With love,

Restaurant review: Chapters, Blackheath Village, London

What's the curbappeal?

- the patio occupies an enviable location: overlooking Blackheath Village, it's gorgeous Church and the 'heath itself. 

- the vibe: stylish yet unpretentious. Buzzy (I recommend booking, especially on weekends).

- the cuisine: All day dining - comfort food, as well as healthy options. 

While we only popped in for a light one course lunch, it was all cooked incredibly well. My mackerel was full of flavour and came with a lovely straight-from-the-barbecue crust. My Sauvignon was light and very more-ish. The wine list was excellent. 

With love,

Ms. Curbappeal x
