Life Lately – Exploring London – Food, Drink & Events
Here’s a round up of what I got up to in January featuring restaurants and blogger events: Rucoletta Sam and I visited this cosy Italian restaurant near St Paul’s Cathedral because we bought a Groupon voucher for a three course set meal for 2 people for £20 – such a bargain! I’d definitely recommend this restaurant, the waiters are welcoming and friendly. The Strozzapreti pasta dish was incredible, it comes with pancetta, tomatoes and chilli so it has a bit of a kick to it, but it’s not too spicy. I also really liked the Bruschetta and the Tiramisu.

Hassle free renting in London with Fizzy Living
Ask anyone at Fizzy Living what they aim to do and their answer is simple – they want to reinvent renting. Fizzy offers rental accommodation in London to what are now called ‘rentysomethings’ – young professionals not ready to buy a house but looking to rent somewhere quality for the longer-term. I was shown around some Fizzy flats at Walthamstow and what struck me was the balance Fizzy had achieved between homeliness and modernity. The rooms I viewed were pleasantly spacious, with good-sized lounge, kitchen, bathroom and balcony areas. What also makes Fizzy great for me is that the majority of their flats are also pet-friendly (unlike most landlords I’ve…
