When it comes to putting your priority list together when finding a flat in London, where you’re going to hang your washing is probably not exactly in your top ten. However, from speaking to friends and other renters in the past few weeks, we’ve noticed that this can be an issue for many. You could…
Read MoreGoing underground
The London Underground is a bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. Most of us just grin and bear it in the morning rush hour, so why are the symbols of The Tube so iconic? Maybe because they’ve become synonymous with London’s soul. It’s been called the veins of the city and…

Read MoreSpringing forward with Urban Outfitters
With Christmas just a few weeks away, we’re not unfamiliar with the fact that brands are already thinking about Spring Summer 2015. It seems a little weird to be thinking about summer products in December, but it’s not as weird as the infamous ‘Christmas in July’. We were recently invited to Urban Outfitters SS15 Press…

Read MoreOn the prowl
On Sunday we set off to Oxford Street (mad, we know) to run some errands; David got his watch fixed and window shopped for a laptop (which he bought today – hoozah!) and Mark browsed around Urban Outfitters for a pea coat. On our way, out of the corner of our eye, there it was……

Greetings everyone! We write this with a cup of tea whilst sat at the kitchen table in our new flat with big smiles on our faces. Firstly, you’ll have to excuse us for the delay in posting – moving, unpacking, heading back to work and a lack of internet has meant that we haven’t been…

If you follow either of us on Twitter or Instagram (and if you don’t then why ever not – details here), then you’d probably have noticed that we have been up to our eyeballs in boxes… boxes… boxes… boxes… boxes… and more boxes…. Once we had moved in to the flat we took much delight…

Today we’re picking up the keys, potentially arguing with our delivery driver and breaking our backs moving boxes. Tomorrow we’ll fill you in on how it all went but for now wish us luck and look out Tooting Broadway – we’re coming! David & Mark x
