Oxford: a day trip from London
Just an hour away from London by train, Oxford is an easy day trip from England’s capital. The city’s world-famous university is understandably its main attraction for visitors, but if you look beyond the ancient architecture, you’ll find many other delights awaiting you.
Eyeskate at the London Eye: Iconic ice skating
As winter draws in and temperatures drop, London’s outdoor ice rinks start to pop up around the city. This year, there’s a new rink on the block to challenge the popularity of Somerset House: Eyeskate at the London Eye.
Value in Venice: Dining at Ai Sportivi
When you think of Venice, images of scenic waterways, stripy-shirted gondoliers and the bustling Piazza San Marco no doubts pop into your head.

Going gourmet at London’s markets
With organic produce and gourmet goodies ever more popular in Britain, London’s markets are booming. Even if you don’t have access to catering facilities, it’s still worth wandering round at least one when visiting London, as there’s plenty of take-away food and other treats on offer.
Sherry sipping in Madrid
If you’re keen to sample some ‘typical Spanish’ culture (as the Spanish themselves call it) but the idea of a tourist-tacky flamenco show doesn’t appeal, head to sherry bar La Venencia to familiarise yourself with this traditional tipple.
