Highlights from Easter Weekend In London

Who doesn’t love a good bank holiday weekend!? It’s not common to get two whole days off for Easter in the U.S., so I was determined to enjoy the long weekend.

I arrived in London on Friday morning, jet-lagged and hazy from the Red Eye. Luckily, I made up for my daytime snoozing with plenty of exploring, good food and even a dash of pampering.

So, how did I fare? I’ll let you see for yourself.

Saturday: Strolling In Regent’s Park

What better way to burn the jet lag off than by strolling in my favorite park in London? One of London’s Royal Parks, Regents Park is 395 acres of charming gardens, hedges, lakes and even a few athletic fields for good measure. Although I didn’t venture far, I did spend a little time in the Inner Circle, which is home to the Queen’s Rose Garden. Sadly, no roses yet!

February was another action packed month. From exploring London, to finding a flat and a quick hop to freezing New York, I don’t think I stopped moving!

The month started with an epic meal at Hakkasan in Mayfair.

LONDON, TRAVEL

Travel: London in December

In preparation for my 2015 move to London, I hopped over for a few days in December. While London may not seem like a typical travel destination in December, I’ve been fortunate enough to be over around my annual LeWeb Paris trip for a few years in a row and can tell you that it’s delightful. There’s just something about the Christmas holiday that results in an incredible amount of festive decor and activities, from markets, to teas and grand trees in well-known squares.

Here are some highlights from my visit:

Christmas Tea At The Ritz

One of the highlights of this visit came when a friend asked if I would join an awesome group of women in tech for Christmas Tea at The Ritz. While it wasn’t something I had planned in advance, I was beyond happy that I had appropriate attire – e.g a dress. Take a look at the gorgeous interior and decor and you will see why.
