Annie & Andrew

If you’re travelling to celebrate with us, Bath and London both have plenty to explore - whether you’re here for a long weekend or just a short visit.

​

Bath & Surroundings

 

Food & Drink

​

• Brunch & Lunch: The Walcot House (stylish brunch spot with cocktails if you’re feeling celebratory), The Green Bird Café (great for light lunches and homemade cakes), The Oven (award-winning Neapolitan pizza).

• Dinner: Clayton’s Kitchen (modern European dining with a relaxed feel), Corkage (excellent wine list and small plates), The Circus Restaurant (classic Bath favourite).

• Coffee: Chelsea Road Café (local gem), Colonna & Smalls (for serious coffee lovers), Colombian Coffee Co. (ethically sourced, delicious brews).

• Drinks: The Raven (famous pies and local ales), The Salamander (a cosy pub in the heart of the city), Electric Bear Brew Co (craft beer taproom), The Boathouse (on the river, also with rooms if you want to stay).

 

Things To Do

​​

• Visit the Roman Baths and Bath Abbey - the city’s iconic landmarks.

• Take a stroll along the Royal Crescent and The Circus for Georgian architecture at its best.

• Relax at the Thermae Bath Spa with rooftop views across the city.

• Wander along Pulteney Bridge and the weir - one of the most photographed spots in Bath.

• For a countryside escape, explore Prior Park Landscape Garden or walk along the Bath Skyline trail with sweeping views.

• Day trips: the villages of Lacock, Castle Combe, and Bradford-on-Avon are all nearby and well worth a visit.

 

London (Islington)

 

If you’re coming from overseas or staying on in London, here are a few of our favourite local spots around Islington, where we call home.

​

Food & Drink

​

• Brunch & Lunch: De Beauvoir Deli (amazing pastries, coffee, and salads), Ottolenghi Islington (perfect for sharing plates and cakes), Pophams (croissants worth queuing for), Fig & Olive (our favourite spot for brunch!)

• Dinner: The Marques Tavern (can't go wrong with their Burger and Pint), Primeur (modern European, small plates, buzzing atmosphere), Icco (little further afield in Marylebone, but Andrew's favourite pizza in London), Perilla (seasonal menus with a creative twist), Trullo (Italian done brilliantly), Hong Kong Restaurant (if you fancy an authentic delicious Chinese, head here on Upper Street).

• Coffee: Selv (tiny coffee shop with outdoor seating at the entrance to Islington Square), High Ground (flat whites by day and wine by night, definitely check this spot out), Devotion (claimed to be Joe Jonas' favourite coffee shop in London - bottom of Cross Street. Also across from The Alpaca if you fancy a Guinness after...)

• Drinks: The Scolt Head (our favourite De Beauvoir pub), The Compton Arms (tiny pub with legendary food), The Albion (tucked away in Barnsbury, great for a drink or a meal), Pig & Butcher (must try spot and great spot for a pint outside if you can grab a table)

 

Things To Do

​

• Wander along Regent’s Canal from Angel through De Beauvoir to Broadway Market.

• Browse the independent shops of Camden Passage (antiques, boutiques, and plenty of cafés).

• Catch a film at Screen on the Green (one of London’s oldest cinemas) or recline at Odeon Luxe (Islington Square) or Vue at the Angel Centre.

• Explore Upper Street for endless restaurants, bars, and little shops.

• Hop on the Overground for an easy ride to Columbia Road Flower Market or Victoria Park on Sundays.
