King's Cross is arguably the London neighbourhood that has changed the most in recent decades. Now home to stylish shops and buzzy eateries, the area has shed its gritty veneer but retains stacks of history and character. This is my one-day guide to King's Cross, from its industrial heritage and cultural gems to its thriving dining scene.
I've lived near London's Borough Market for 13 years and often visit for a bite to eat. I've always wanted to take a food tour to get an expert's take on the best things to eat and drink and learn more about the market's storied history, so I was delighted when Eating Europe invited me to experience one of their London food tours.
Another sunny weekend, another beach day trip! This time, I took the train to East Sussex to visit the neighbouring seaside towns of Hastings and St Leonards-on-Sea. If you like your beach day to come with a side of history, foodie culture, great shopping — and even true crime — this is the day trip for you.
Of all the countries I've visited, Mexico is the one I'm keenest to return to. But in the meantime, I've been getting a taste of Mexican art, culture and food here in London thanks to the Tate Modern's current Frida Kahlo exhibition and a Frida-inspired food menu created by acclaimed chef Santiago Lastra.
