Where do you get your morning coffee from?
“La Fontana is a fantastic Italian cafe, they have delicious coffee and is run by the friendliest ladies, it’s always busy and has a great ‘buzzy’ atmosphere. They also have a pizza hatch that makes the best pizza and is well worth a visit!”

“I personally enjoy walking by the river near The Albany, there’s a small stretch of grass opposite Hampton Court Palace and is a bit of a hidden gem, it’s great for walking dogs or sunbathing.”

Treat yourself
“Little Foray is my favourite hairdressers, they also offer a wide range of beauty and skin treatments, and is the best place to go for a pamper session. The staff feel like old friends and I always come out feeling lighter after a session there!”
