My London

London born and bred - I know every part of this city.

As kids, we used to run away to Trafalgar Square and sit up there at night. I still do that sometimes. If you're visiting, there's something about the city after dark that feels completely different - quieter, warmer somehow, like London's letting you in on a secret.

I've lived here my whole life and I'm still not bored. I know the hidden bars, the restaurants worth the wait, the walks that make you forget you're in a city of nine million people. I love sharing that with someone. Whether it's a long dinner date in London or an afternoon wandering through galleries, I can plan something that fits your time and your taste - or we can just see where the evening takes us.

There's a difference between visiting London and experiencing it with someone who actually lives here. That's what I offer as your London companion.

Date Ideas - My Favourites

I've curated these with intention. These aren't google recommendations - they're things I actually do and love. If you’re curious, I have more ideas I can send over email when we plan our date.

South Bank to Borough Market - one of the most beautiful walks in the city. You pass all the little shops along the river and end up at the market. I love the Greek pistachio stall there - perfect for picking up small gifts for someone you're thinking about.

Saturday at Sloane Square - the food market, then a stroll through the Saatchi Gallery. Relaxed, artistic, easy conversation.

The Ivy flagship + West End - I know, the Ivy is a chain now. But the flagship changed my opinion completely. Pair it with a show and it's a perfect dinner date in London - classic and elegant without trying too hard.

Bentley's Oyster Workshop - every Saturday. Fun, indulgent, and you learn something. Hard to beat.

Tuna Fight Club, Notting Hill - this one might be verging on eccentric, and I haven't tried it yet, but honestly look it up. Twelve-course tuna omakase. They import a 300kg bluefin and cut it in front of your eyes. Mental.

My Favourite Restaurants

My favourite cuisine is Chinese, Korean or Japanese (that region of the world). I am a sucker for noodles, hotpot and sushi. Omakase is amazing for date nights, the surprise as each little detail is revealed. If I had to choose my last meal though, it would be pasta and cheese (which isn’t really in line with my statement about favourites but it is the ultimate comfort food).

Japanese - Chisou, Roka (a gem I always forget about), Mana & Akira.

Omakase - Maru and Endo.

Chinese - Hotto Potto, Kim's Dim Sum Duck & Min Jiang.

Italian - O'ver.

Seafood - Scott's & Lilibeth’s.

Spanish - Sabor.

Mexican - Kol.

Greek - Elysee.

British - River Restaurant for wholesome ingredients and a lovely date. The Ritz because it's so quintessentially British I can't help myself. Cloth (sexy lighting for a date).

Cocktails - Kensington One. Rivoli Bar. Opium. Detective's Bar - a proper speakeasy.

I know a lot of casual spots around Soho too but this list is built for the kind of evening where you want things to feel a bit special.

Places I Lust to Experience..

Claridge's - Lobster wellington for two and I'm curious.

The Sea, The Sea - A Chelsea classic.

Clove Club - Do I need to say more?

London's chocolate cocktail bar - Cute concept, right?

Kai - It just makes sense when a girl says she loves Chinese food..

Fresh mochi in Covent Garden.

Humble Chicken - Interesting name for a Japanese.

Sparrow & Dear Jackie - I am short of good Italian restaurants in London to recommend.
