Claridges (at Christmas), Mayfair, London

What's the curbappeal?

- the art-deco loveliness. One of London's gems 

- seriously atmospheric at Christmas, with it's roaring log fires and gorgeous Christmas tree. We popped in for cocktails at Le Fumoir

With love,

Christmas market review: Southbank, London

What's the curbappeal?

- atmospheric 'German style' Christmas market. Buy arts and crafts gifts from cute wooden chalets. Or visit the food stalls for bratwurst, hot chocolate or mulled wine. 

With love,
