Delectable afternoon tea at @fortnums 🍰☕️ So special to enjoy a Christmas afternoon tea with my mum in the beautiful Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon. • On the pricier side but you get such an amazing selection of teas and menus!

A piece by @banksy on the corner Portobello Road and Acklam Road recently revealed again after the renovation of the building. The piece first appeared in 2008 and is called ‘Graffiti Painter’, inspired by the 17th century painter, Diego Velazquez 🎨 You can see that even though it was only unveiled again at the end of last year, it’s already had its fair share of new graffiti tags over the top! • • • #streetart #banksy #banksyart #streetartoflondon #streetsoflondon #londonstreetart #londonart #streetarttour #londonlove #portobelloroad #westlondon #westisbest #exploringlondon #londontour #londonguide #timeoutlondon #londonist #lovemylondon #londonbylondoners #todoinlondon #ramblinglondon #ramblinglondontours

New Year and new #blog post! 🎉 Memoirs of a Londoner: Samuel Pepys. Link in the description. • How was your 1st January 2020? What did you get up to? I went to the New Year's Day parade in London for the first time ever, and on the same day around 350 years ago Samuel Pepys went to theatre. A nice #onthisday through the window of Pepys' diary! • • • #newblogpost #samuelpepys #londonhistory #17thcentury #restorationperiod #newyear2020 #newyearsday #newyearinlondon #exploringlondon #theatreroyaldrurylane #cityoflondon #royalexchange #strandlondon #londonwestminster #lovelondon #bornandbredlondoner #londonbylondoners #londontour #londonguide #travelwriting #femaletravelbloggers #londonguide #tourguidelife #historynerd #ramblinglondon #ramblinglondontours

The White Tower. At the centre of the Tower of London, it’s stood resolute and strong since the late 11th century. Back then it would have towered over the smaller wooden houses of London and made it clear who was in charge. Construction started under the reign of William the Conqueror and since then it’s been a mint, zoo, and observatory as well as a fortress and Royal Palace 🏰 • • • #toweroflondon #historicroyalpalaces #historyoflondon #royallondon #crownjewels #QEII #whitetower #britishhistory #lovelondon #historynerd #medievalhistory #architectureoflondon #londontime #londonguide #londontour #londonbylondoners #mylondon #timeoutlondon #londonist #explorelondon #todoinlondon #ramblinglondon #ramblinglondontours

The facade of @goldnottinghill on Portobello Road created by @vhils 😍 Vhils is a Portuguese artist who’s been working as a street artist since the early 2000s. He often uses small explosives or electric drills to literally carve his vision into reality. It’s hard to see in my picture, but the darker spaces are where the building has been chipped away to the plaster and brickwork. I like the description on his website, that his work explores ideas of “effacement but also of resistance, of destruction yet also of beauty..., exploring the connections and contrasts..., between global and local realities.” • • • #goldnottinghill #portobelloroad #portobelloroadmarket #westlondon #westisbest #marketsoflondon #londonbars #londonnightlife #todoinlondon #londonart #londonstreetart #streetsoflondon #timeoutlondon #londonist #mylondon #lovelondon #wanderinglondon #londonbylondoners #truelondoner #londontour #londonguide #ramblinglondon #ramblinglondontours

All around London Bridge at the moment you can find twelve of these wonderful snowmen sculptures! ⛄️ They’re all linked to the song ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ and I’m pretty sure you can work out which line this one is referring to! 🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢🦢 You might also remember him from that Christmas classic ‘The Snowman’ by Raymond Briggs. The twelve sculptures were created by Wild in Art in collaboration with Penguin Random House. They’re only around until the beginning of January so get hunting! • • • #thesnowman #walkingwiththesnowman #christmasbytheriver #londonchristmas #christmasinlondon #winterinlondon #lovelondon #lovemylondon #exploringlondon #todoinlondon #publicartlondon #artinlondon #freelondon #timeoutlondon #londonist #mysecretlondon #londonbylondoners #londontourist #londontour #visitlondon #londonguide #ramblinglondon #ramblinglondontours

Have you visited the Christmas lights at Carnaby Street yet? It suddenly feels like you’re walking along the ocean floor! 🌊 The street has been covered in kelp, jellyfish, even a turtle and a 5m long whale! 🐳🐢🐠 It is a collaboration with ocean conservation charity Project Zero - they’ve created sustainable and recycled decorations using repurposed fishing nets, 500m of post-use bubble wrap and over 1,500 recycled plastic bottles. It’s a really creative way to stimulate discussion and raise awareness about our growing climate crisis. • • • #carnabystreet #carnabystreetlondon #projectzero #londonwestend #londonchristmaslights #sustainablechristmas #londonchristmas #christmasinlondon #winterinlondon #beautifullondon #londonatnight #londonlove #timeoutlondon #londonist #freelondon #todoinlondon #londonexploring #londontourist #londonguide #londontour #londonbylondoners #ramblinglondon #ramblinglondontours

New #blog post! 🎉 A Very London Christmas! 🎄 London has some “tree-mendous” traditions which you can get fully “i-myrrh-sed” in! From Christmas Eve meat auctions to the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree!

Christmas at Liberty 🎄 The Tree of Liberty - a beautiful towering bonsai tree of blue velvet and real (bright pink) reindeer moss. Definitely a new take on the Christmas Tree! You’ll find @libertylondon department store just off Regent Street. It was founded in 1875 but it didn’t move into its amazing half-timbered Tudor-revival building until the 1920s (swipe left). • • • #libertylondon #treeofliberty #shoppinginlondon #londonshopping #christmasinlondon #londonchristmas #christmasdecorations #beautifullondon #exploringlondon #londonwestend #centrallondon #londontime #londonbylondoners #lovelondon #lovemylondon #architectureoflondon #londontour #londontourist #londonguide #bluebadgeguide #ramblinglondon #ramblinglondontours
