Review: Saltwater, Jessica Andrews
I’ve spent the past week posting my pictures and thoughts on Jessica Andrews’ stunning debut Saltwater and I guess it’s about time that I share the love and explain exactly why I loved this lyrical and fragmented book so much. Written in short, sharp and intense paragraphs, Saltwater follows Lucy as she leaves her home […]
A Trip to Kew Gardens
Last week on a blustery-but-sunny-nearly-Spring day, we headed to Kew Gardens so I could practise taking some photos on my camera. I absolutely love Kew Gardens – it’s one of my favourite places in London and definitely somewhere that never fails to make me feel happy. For too long I’ve been taking photos on my […]
The London Diaries: Romeo + Juliet at the Backyard Cinema
A few weeks ago for my friend’s birthday, I took her to the Backyard Cinema screening of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. The idea behind Backyard Cinema is to offer a more immersive cinema experience, and that was something we totally felt from the moment we stepped inside the beautiful London church. Taking inspiration from Luhrmann’s […]
Review: Everyone Brave is Forgiven, Chris Cleave
When war is declared, Mary North leaves finishing school unfinished, goes straight to the War Office, and signs up. Tom Shaw decides to give it a miss – until his flatmate Alistair unexpectedly enlists, and the conflict can no longer be avoided. Young, bright and brave, Mary is certain she’d be a marvelous spy. When […]
The London Diaries: Horniman Museum and Gardens
If you’re anything like me and the thought of visiting London’s V&A, or the Natural History Museum on a Saturday afternoon fills you with fear, you might like to try the quieter and smaller Horniman Museum and Gardens, tucked away in SE London. The Horniman Museum and Gardens is a 5 minute walk from Forest Hill […]
The London Diaries: Snapshots II
Introducing my second instalment of ‘Beth takes photos of everything and decides that they must be shared’. London is lovely, but don’t let the photos fool you: it’s not always blue skies and sun. I just happen to only take pictures when it is. I’m still trying to explore different parts of this city, and […]
The London Diaries: Sky Garden
Continuing my mission of being a massive tourist in my own city, we headed over one sunny Saturday to the Sky Garden on Fenchurch Street – it’s free to get in, but you do have to book ahead in advance. Having been before, I was excited for our visit to the Sky Garden because of […]
The London Diaries: Snapshots
I must take about 5 million crappy photos on my phone a day, and it gives me an infinite amount of pleasure to look back on them as little snapshots of moments and memories. Here are a few during my first couple of months of living in London. Please note the coffee cups and feel […]
The London Diaries: Richmond Park
Two weeks ago I moved to South London and I’ve honestly never been happier and more excited to start exploring new areas of my favourite city. And so I guess it only makes sense to start recording my adventures on my blog: welcome to The London Diaries! Yep, I’m going to be a massive tourist in […]
