Day Out: Camden Market, Primrose Hill and Regents Park

Hope you are all enjoying your bank holiday weekend so far! Today, as the weather was the perfect summers day, sunny with a fresh breeze, I decided to take a walk. I started at Camden Town walking through Camden Market, Primrose Hill and Regents Park before getting the tube home from Baker Street. Prepare yourself for a lot of photos in this blog post, which I hope you enjoy as much as enjoyed taking them!

Camden Shop Fronts

When I first arrived at Camden Town the first thing that caught my eye was the bold shop displays. All brightly coloured, some with impressive 3D features which you can't help but admire.

Camden Lock 

Nothing beats a stroll down a river to clear you mind! I love the mixture of buildings covered by weeping willow trees.

Camden Market 

Camden Market, a historical market with cobbled streets filled with delicous food and antique treasures. Walking through the market feels like travelling back in time. There were a couple of shops that stood out to me including a dress shop selling stunning 1960's dresses with petticoats and a shop filled with cereals which my sister would adore! Does anyone else know anybody who is addicted to cereal?

Walk to Primrose Hill

The walk from Camden Market to Primrose Hill only takes ten minutes. You start walking along the cannal, as you fill your worries melt away and then you before walk through a street filled with beautiful colourful houses!

Primrose Hill

When I entered the park all I could see was grass and trees. I almost forgot that I was in London! I kept taking in deep breaths to enjoy the fresh air. 

The walk up to Primrose Hill was not to steep but defintley got the blood pumping which felt great! Nothing like a bit of exercise to make you feel alive.



The climb is worth it for the stunning view of London! You can see all the main sights of London include the Gherkin, The Walkie-Talkie, The Shard, Canary Wharf, St Pauls Cathedral, BT Tower and the London Eye. See if you can spot them in my photos below.

Regents Park

Just the other side of Primrose Hill is Regent Parks surrounded by nature, water features and beautiful buildings. Including a band stand which people were practicing boxing on today but apparently they do live music which I would love to see sometime. The park was filled with families having picnics, people running and dog walkers. It was lovely to be experience a slower pace of London. I left feeling so calm and relaxed!

This whole day has allowed me to clear my head, take life at a slower pace and refresh ready for my weekend ahead.

What have you done this Saturday?

Food Friday's LSE Garrick Cafe

Every Friday, I treat myself to lunch out. Not only do I get to explore different places to eat but also it's nice to get outside on my lunch break.  So, I wanted to do a weekly post about where I eat and what I eat.  Today I went to eat at LSE Garrick Café. I have gone here a few times as it is often quieter than other parts cafes in London. LSE Garrick cafe as you would suspect is popular with students but is open to the general public. They offer delicious salads, gluten free cakes, cakes, pastries and teas. The café has large windows which not only make the place light and airy but also makes the perfect spot for people watching! A guilty pleasure of mine. I had planned to walk around afterwards but sadly it was chucking it down with rain. Today I had a: Sweet Chilli Salmon Salad, Gluten Free Bakewell Cake Slice and a Peppermint tea.  Costs: £8:20 Where is your favourite place to eat and what do you have?  Love,  E.x

Advice to University Freshers Students

Congratulations to those who have received your A-Level result today. You made it! I hope you achieved what you wanted. If not you should still be proud of what you achieved as you worked incredibly hard. Though it sounds cheesy, it is true that everything happens for a reason, even if you can't see that reason now. I still remember my A-level results day. I didn't sleep at all the night before as I was so nervous! I got the grades to get into my first choice University, I was thrilled. Being the only one awake in my house, I ran upstairs to my Mum who was asleep in bed and woke her up to tell her! Then sat on her bed crying tears of happiness and relief. Before I get started on my advice for Freshers, I wanted to highlight that University is not the only option in life. Some people flourish better in a work environment than they do in an academic environment.  Research all your options and do what feels right for you. I know schools, a least from my experience and th...

The Low Maintenance Girl: Morning and Evening Skincare Routine

Welcome to part two of my first trilogy, The Low Maintenance Girl (yay!). Don't forget to check out part one for my low maintenance haircare routine . Here is my simple yet effective skincare routine for the low maintenance girl. I would describe my skin as a combination with the occasional hormonal breakout. All I want is clear skin!  In the morning I use No7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser and my No7 facial brush. The cleanser is liquid in the bottle and comes out as a foam which can only be explained by magic! I move the facial brush over my face in circular motions. Before washing off the cleanser with a flannel soaked in warm water. This leaves my skin feeling fresh, soft and removes any excess oils. I then finish with Nivea Daily Essentials Rich Moisturising Day cream which has a light fragrance, sinks in quickly (I can almost feel my skin drinking up the hydrating goodness) and has SPF 15 to protect my skin from the sun. In the evening ...
