St. Pancras: trains, tea and shopping

St. Pancras: trains, tea and shopping

Since having my first son, I’ve turned into something of a trainspotter. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve not reached the anoraks and timetables stage. But I have spent more time lurking around stations and talking about engines since Ezra came into my life. One of my favourite ways to while away an afternoon with the…

It’s the Year of the Tiger and being a tigress myself I’m on the hunt for fun. Officially, the party starts on Sunday Feb 14 and rounds off with the massive all-day parade in Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square on Sunday Feb 21. But there’s a range of festivities planned throughout the month. Check 5…

Sunday at The Albion

Sunday at The Albion

On a chilly Sunday afternoon, I fancy curling up in front of a log fire at one of our locals, The Albion on Thornhill Road, N1. This handsome Georgian pub dates back to when Islington was mostly farmland. It still gives off a little country ambience with its dark wood interior, cosy wicker furniture and…

For Mamas & Papas

For Mamas & Papas

When I was about to drop with baby number 2, I sent the hubby to Mamas & Papas on Regent’s Street to exchange some cot sheets. A few hours later, he returned with a glint in his eye. ‘That Mama’s & Papa’s store is very nice,’ he said. ‘It made me feel like impregnating you…

Is there a high-chair or will you have to use the pushchair? Do they provide any entertainment/distraction for the kiddies – or will…

Have your cake at Bake-a-Boo

Have your cake at Bake-a-Boo

With birthdays on my mind, I’m drawn back to an exquisite bakery that’s slightly out of my postcode but worth the trek. Tucked away in West Hampstead, Bake-a-Boo* is an unexpected treat. Popular amongst local parents, it’s a bit of a tight squeeze and our pushchairs were bumper to bumper. The ladies behind the counter…
