Drone coach, Richard, hosted us on a London drone experience to find out more about how to operate this tech safely and to introduce us to the possibilities drones have on our work as bloggers and content creators.

This all happened on the same day the government in the UK announced drone registration for all users, which is probably a good thing in our opinion.

Read our beginner’s guide and 6 fly-safe tips, and stay tuned for our drone footage of London, coming soon!

Visit Greenwich in London by boat

oh summer in London, how we love you!

If you’re visiting the city, don’t forget to explore via the Thames as well. The river bus isn’t very expensive and gives you so many beautiful, historical old views of this fab city we are lucky enough to call home.

Here’s a recent adventure we embarked upon starting at the Tower of London and riding the Thames Clipper to Greenwich.

Whitecross Street food market London

Whitecross Street food market London

Whitecross Street food market in London is a longstanding secret with locals and gets very busy at lunchtime.

This little gem has something for even the fussiest palate – including falafel, burgers, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, Moroccan and my personal favourite, hog roast.

The area is also brimming with history, so take a walk around to view old buildings and plauques.

Open Monday to Friday.

Vlog: Eclectic Dalston cafe and antiques store

We love our east London hub in Dalston – there’s so much great music, theatre, coffee, art and now… antiques.

I’ve disocvered this amazing and eclectic Dalston cafe and antiques store called Aris – you simply must step inside to experience it, now open in east London (diagonally opposite Dalston Junction train (overground) station).

London is truly one of the best cities in the world, and for that reason plenty of people want to visit. As a visitor it’s easy to fall into the trap of paying to go to the top of buildings to see this lovely cityscape. There are free options though!

It can be expensive – but we’re here to share money-saving travel tips.

St Paul’s Cathedral is a top pick for visitors and opposite is a shopping centre called One New Change where you can get some of the best free London views!
