My holiday plan this year was to take some time off and hang out in London – as we were supposed to be having a ‘heat-wave summer’. Well, that didn’t work. And now work committments have meant that I can’t go take any time off until October. So, and I know this isn’t strictly abou...

Me and he that I call my partner are looking to go away for the weekend of the 31st for his birthday. However we are a bit lost as to where to go!

I think this came up before in the old LbL, but I didn’t ever get a response … does anyone have any recommendations for a cat sitter in the Islington area? I will be going away for a couple of weeks and so don’t really want to have to call on friends or use a cattery – have researched on the...

Am post holiday. Am blue. Normally I love this city but all I want now is to be in France eating a Toulouse sausage and drinking a glass of red wine. Possibly with some cheese. In the sunshine. That’s where I was in that hat. Ideas? I have tried dressing as if it is summer but my legs got cold yesterday in ...

I’m heading to Prague in a few weeks, and would like to know of any recommendations for good food places. When I go to a foreign country I usually try to stick with their native cuisine, or at least to eat cuisine combinations that reflect the country/are different from what you’d get here. Guide books...

The title says it all – where’s best to go for a traditional Christmas dinner (roast and all the trimmings) in London? Preferably Central London and not too expensive and somewhere that will take bookings (don’t fancy queuing outside in this cold!) Thanks and merry Christmas :)

I just bloody have. I woke up in a thick toxic smoke-filled bedroom of the Sheraton in Luxor, Egypt on Monday afternoon. I booked a ‘decent’ hotel for a late deal just to get away for a week, but it seemed that it was more like I was going to be cooking in room than baking in the sun. Managed to get out ...
