DLR Discovery Tour and Greenwich

The UK summer is continuing with the sunshine makes the surroundings look so beautiful! My boyfriend and I went on a DLR discovery tour which started at Tower Gateway and finished a Greenwich. Here are my thoughts on the tour along with some photos of Greenwich.

When we arrived we were given a goody bag with headphones, pen, puzzle, oyster holder, and pin (see photo below). The DLR staff were friendly including Doris the DLR character! Along with a audio set to listen to the tour guide on, though I was skeptical about this at first due to initial technical difficulties it was really helpful when walking around Greenwich as I could always hear the tour guide.

We were put on our own DLR which didn't stop along the tour (much to the disappointment to those waiting to get on the DLR!). The first part of the tour focused on the history docklands going through Shadwell, Limehouse, Canary Wharf and ending at Greenwich. The tour then continued on foot.

The tour of Greenwich was fascinating, focusing on the buildings which looked amazing in the glorious sunshine! Greenwich has always been one of my favourite parts of London as it's like a small town with beautiful architecture, a history focusing on astrology, a food and craft markets and plenty of green open space. A great place to relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of London life.

What is your favourite place to visit in London?

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 ...
