Be a Local - Handmade Travel

As winter approaches, one of the most atmospheric places in London to go for a Sunday walk is Abney Park cemetery in Stoke Newington. It is half overgrown and is full of the most spectacular Victorian monuments, showing just how madly obsessed with death the Victorians were.  When it is cold and misty it combines peacefulness with a slight eeriness. Afterwards, best to warm up with a hot chocolate in one of Stoke Newington Church Street's cafe's.

What I love the most in London is that I con savour the best cuisine of any part of the world, it’s like travelling all the year around. Let me tell you just one of my favourites, the Crazy Bear, a Thai restaurant in Central London

I like waking up early on Sundays to go running in Hyde Park, then I go back home to have a warm shower and head immediately to Automat to enjoy a lavish brunch. I deserve it.

Londoners are very proud of the public and private gardens that spread all over the city. One of my favourites and mainly in spring is Kenwood House, it is a bit apart so it lets you escape from the bustle of the city, but not that far so you can enjoy wonderful panoramic views over London.

When I want to impress my date I always go to Lounge Lovers - beautiful bar located just a short walk from Brick Lane. It´s a former meat-packing factory dressed in a baroque style with long rustic oak tables, sofas, red drapes and  surreal artwork. Though the management can be stuffy and a bit pretentious, the ambiance is truly magical and cocktails are great. Highly recommended.

I always take visiting friends for a curry to any curryhouse in Bricklane, it’s a grat subculture.
