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.

Everything's better with the right company. Let me plan a whirlwind romance for us in London.

My Favourite Restaurants

My favourite cuisine right now is probably 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 (truffle creamy pasta makes me wet).

Japanese - Chisou. Roka (a gem I always forget about). Maru -omakase but with a fun crew. Niju.

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

Italian - O'ver.

Seafood - Scott's.

Spanish - Barrafina.

Mexican - Kol (one Michelin star - worth it).

British - River Restaurant for wholesome ingredients and a lovely date. The Ritz because it's so quintessentially British I can't help myself. Hide for the wine list. 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'm Dying to Try

I have an extensive list, but these are the ones I keep thinking about:

Claridge's - lobster Wellington for two, and I'm curious

Sabor - female lead chef, I want to compare Michelin cuisine to the food I've had in Spain

Champagne + Fromage - cheese fondue. How can you go wrong?

Core and Clove Club (do I need to say more?)

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

Fresh mochi in Covent Garden

I'd love to discover these with the right person.
