Take your significant other into a moment of Zen while you watch the sun ease the stress out of you. The gentle music playing in the background really calms any worries you have. Relax in one of London’s rooftop venues as the rush of horns go off in the busy capital right under you. There’s not a single thing that can ruin the moment you’re experiencing. Here are London’s best rooftop bars and restaurants that will give you a view you’ll never forget. The Oxo Tower Terrace Many of the rooftop luxurious in London come with high costs. They are, after all, the epitome of an elegant wine and dine experience. The Oxo Tower, owned by the Harvey Nichols group, is nothing short of brilliant. The real stunner is their set-menu deals, though. A course of two with a bottle of wine only costs £25.

If you love travelling, and love exploring new and different places, then Leeds in the UK is definitely worth a look. Especially if like me, you enjoy places with a vast history and interesting architecture to boot. Here are two historical sites of Leeds, which also have some very interesting architecture: Corn Exchange Leeds’ Corn Exchange was completed in 1862 by architect Cuthbert Brodrick, who also designed the town hall and whose name you will find a lot around Leeds as the Wetherspoons (great place for food) in Millennium Square is named after him. The Corn Exchange, as the name implies, was built to trade corn. It is one of three corn exchanges still standing in the UK, and the only one of the three which is still used for trade, although no longer in corn. When trading in corn was no longer needed, the Corn Exchange closed and was subject to deterioration. In the 80s, plans to refurbish and reopen this great building were developed and it reopened in 1990 as a shopping ce...

The United Kingdom is known as having some of the best comfort food on the planet, from bangers and mash to fish and chips to pasties and pies of all sorts. And while you'll certainly find these many culinary delights pretty much anywhere you go in the country, there are some cities that do it a little better when it comes to food , including a wide selection of international cuisines. Of course, once you've had a good meal you'll probably fancy some entertainment, and while a night in the British countryside could get a little boring, there are plenty of metropolitan areas that can give you both the tasty treats and amusing activities you crave. Here are just a few of the best UK cities when it comes to both food and entertainment. Brighton In all of the UK, Brighton is probably one of the most attractive cities around, largely due to its artsy population. The time to go is during the famous arts festival that bears the city's name, but if you're more interes...

If London isn't on your bucket list of places to visit before you die, make sure to add it. If you’ve already been there, then you know why that statement is true. A romantic city that’s filled with history, culture, and scenic views is bound to be a good trip as newlyweds, or with your entire family. However, when you want to step out of the culture for a bit, you can find delicacies from around the world. Here are some of the best international food restaurants in London today.  Dragon Castle Dragon Castle Roast Duck There’s no better restaurant for authentic Hunan cuisine than the dragon castle. The recipes themselves add to the history of Asian cuisine, with some of them dating back a couple of millennium. If you like spicy, then you’ll love what the peppery hot chicken has to offer. The soothing sound of running water and a pond filled with Koi make for a relaxing atmosphere perfect for two.  Phoenix Palace If you’re looking for Asian cuisine options...

All the sunshine this week has really got me in the mood for a holiday. It’s all very well enjoying a sunny spell in the UK, but knowing how long these English heat waves last, I’m hoping that booking a holiday ASAP will make sure the summery feeling continues long after the clouds return to our shores! There’s only one thing stopping me booking the trip though – deciding where to go! Do I want to carry on the heat wave and head to sun-soaked beaches in Greece or Turkey for a spot of relaxation?  Or are fun-filled weekend city breaks in Paris or Berlin more what I’m after this time?   Then again, there’s always the adventure packed holiday-of-a-lifetime in places like South America or Australia to add to the consideration pile… Wherever I decide, I’ll definitely be taking advantage of the Holiday Autos 25th Anniversary wrap-up sale on Monday 28th May. Topping off the 25th anniversary sale that has run throughout May, they’re offering £25 off car rental in any location, and...
