The youngest teen is going through a phase of watching and enjoying all the shows I loved 20 years ago. We recently watched The Devil Wears Prada together before heading to the cinema to watch The Devil Wears Prada 2. We loved both the films, which is good because there seem to be lots more…
How do you choose what to go and see when there are so many different types of productions happening across London every day? I love to see my favourite musicals but try to challenge myself to see something new too. So when I saw an advert for Hadestown at the Lyric Theatre I booked tickets….
I love a trip to the theatre. I try to go when I can justify the ridiculous London ticket prices, and I love to take the teens too. We’ve always enjoyed escaping to the cinema to watch the latest films, and we introduced them to the theatre at an early age because, for me, it…

The house is currently run as a hotel (afternoon tea there is on my bucket list) but we try to visit throughout the year to enjoy the gardens and tearooms. Did you know that the Cliveden estate runs along part of the Thames,…
If you’re looking for a fun activity with the kids, then I can recommend a trip to Mundo Pixar World London at Wembley. This is a pop-up immersive experience, and something my teen really enjoyed. My teen grew up watching Pixar films because I’ve always loved them too. We watch a lot of films and…
