Baking addict Helen is a freelance journo and avid blogger. She’s a Brighton-born gal who passes the weeks flitting between the seaside city and the capital, torn between the fresh sea air and getting lost in London. When she’s not glued to a mixing bowl, eating cake or tapping furiously away on her laptop, Helen enjoys the odd dash of cider and a good chinwag. Ultimate life goal: be part of a dance flashmob (fairly realistic) or be in a musical (probability of about 1%).

Theatrical Courvoisier Cocktails

As you go through the tour, every room seems to get just that little bit odder (but wait, is it the booze or the surroundings?)

Carnivorous Cocktails at Shaka Zulu

It is a scary sight to watch your barman garnish your glass with a piece of chorizo, topping it off with a dry beef biltong strip

Save Gaby’s. Fight Clone London!

Gaby’s Deli on Charing Cross Road, home of the salt beef buttie, is facing closure. Do your bit to keep some London history alive!
