• 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 (use to) 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)
