Well haven’t I been missing a trick?! – for over a year I’ve been living five minutes’ walk away from a Brunch Powerhouse and didn’t even know it!!! I feel silly. I’m a giver-inner to the brunch movement, as isn’t it just a way of saying you can eat what you want when you want … Continue reading

The Grocery sells WINE, Kingsland Road
The Grocery on Kingsland Road packs a Planet Organic food store punch, but what really got my attention was its WINE CORNER. At the rear of the shop you must go, to find an enchanting wine grotto! Equipped with helpful staff, and a tasting machine, serving up AMPLE portions. Leaf symbols on labels throughout the shop denote organic wines, and … Continue reading
Coffee Stop at the Royal Exchange
The Royal Exchange is a far scarier building from the outside than in. With pricey boutique shops and a doorman, it’s easy to give the place a wide birth, but you can go inside for a look at the lovely building free of charge, and why, why, why would you ever meet someone “at Bank … Continue reading
Natureat Cafe on Holloway Road
I’m very pleased to know I’ve got this healthy eating café in my vicinity. It’s the sort of place that starts convincing me it’s just as cheap to eat out all the time – for the love of variety on your plate!!! that’s not true, but sometimes £5.95 doesn’t seem to get you very far, not when you only have … Continue reading
TAP Coffee, Wardour Street, Soho
I went to TAP Coffee before work the other morning, and I thought, yessss, it’s worth getting up early for this, because it’s out of the usual sequence of things, it’s put a spring in my step, life’s not all about work Mon-Fri, there’s other stuff out there!… it probably meant more to me than it did … Continue reading
Fresh Soho walks the juice talk
I have a highly strung attitude when it comes to juices, ever since I learned they’re best drunk within 15 minutes of juicing, or else their nutritional value starts to wain. So when I asked the girl at Leon whether those juices were fresh, and she replied, they’re fresh as of this morning, I could only respond with a dismissive … Continue reading
Sunday Mooching: Columbia Road Flower Market, East London
I had an out-of-towna friend visiting for the weekend, and so a Sunday mooch taking in some London sights was exactly what was called for. Now we didn’t have money to spend, so we went to a market that would keep temptation at bay (exactly what stallholders want to hear), and visited Columbia Road Flower Market – it’s a … Continue reading
Coffee done right at Bar Termini, Soho
I thought I might just learn something about coffee at a “coffee masterclass”, but I wasn’t prepared for the enlightenment, uh oh, I think it’s become another area of life I’ve just got more snobby about. Marco was the man in the know, and what a wealth of coffee knowledge the man has to impart! Sustainability & business ethics … Continue reading
