And Traveling the World
Today I want to bring you my London summer packing list. If you’re visiting the UK capital in June, July, or August and you want an insider’s tips for what to put in your luggage, read on for my seasonal essentials for the warmer months. These items will help you travel light, stay cool (or warm) and dry in the whimsical British weather, and travel around the city looking like a local. I’ve included a free downloadable checklist, too.
Today I want to bring you my review of a British Pullman train trip from London to Chatsworth House. With vintage carriages, Art Deco splendor, and decadent meals, this once-in-a-lifetime experience is worth indulging in. I’ve been invited on the journey as a guest of British Pullman, A Belmond Train. I’m on board now and I can’t wait to share the adventure with you in this sponsored post.
There’s something about Tudor houses. With half-timbered facades and intricate brickwork, they’re straight out of story books. Given how much I love them, today I’m off on a day trip to Dorney Court. This historic home in the English countryside is the perfect place to see an authentic manor from Henry VIII’s day. It’s an easy train trip from London, too. Read on for my guide. I’ve included a map as well.
The British tradition of afternoon tea is a must while in London, and Mayfair is the perfect place to enjoy it. I’ve spent many years tasting the top teas in this upscale area, and now I want to tell you about the ones that stand out above the rest. From classic numbers to elegant affairs, there’s something to please every palate. Read on for my top picks for the best afternoon teas in Mayfair. I’ve included an interactive map of where you can find them, too.
