We’ve long loved Canary Wharf and it's rich history of the nearby Docklands and Billingsgate Market, yet Blacklock in a glass tower never quite fit. One look at an old disused warehouse nestled cosily in the corner of Canary Wharf underneath the train tracks of the North Dock and we knew we had found home. Feel the comforting rumble of trains passing overhead conjuring memories of some of our favourite haunts underneath the bridges in NYC - a place where, with the blinds rolled down and away from prying eyes, a decadent lunch can swiftly roll into dinner.

What's the best experience to do in London? An afternoon tea, of course. I went to the Westin London city hotel and I absolutely loved the Christmas in the woods afternoon tea. Special mention to the citrus and dill mayonnaise infused Cornish crab on a mini bun and the scones freshly baked. The hotel was so nice with the Christmas decorations. The tea was excellent and the staff very attentive and helpful.
