We recently had a fantastic event at The Kitchen in Parson’s Green, where 12 TrustedPlaces members gathered to cook with Michelin starred chef Thierry Laborde. It was great fun, very sociable indeed, with the added bonus of bringing the delicious food home. We made a video of it so that we could share it with […]

Clothes shopping is a minefield these days: I don’t trust cheaply made garments and I can’t afford expensive ones. What’s more, I don’t enjoy barging my way through crowded streets or queuing for the changing rooms! Luckily even the pickiest of people have places to go in this city.
Last weekend I visited my […]
