Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "Walking into The Savoy feels like stepping straight into London’s most glamorous time capsule. It’s been here since 1889, dreamed up by theatre producer Richard D’Oyly Carte, who decided the city needed a hotel as dramatic as his operas and he wasn’t wrong. From the glowing green sign outside to the marble columns and gold detailing inside, everything feels like it’s been designed to make you slow down and soak it all in. A few things learned while I was there: • Opened in 1889 – the first luxury hotel of its kind in Britain • The first hotel with electric lights and lifts - very high-tech for Victorian London • A favourite of Monet, Churchill, Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe - the guest list is basically a history book • A mix of Edwardian, Art Deco and theatrical design - every corner feels like a film set • Not photographed here but it's home to the iconic red lift - glossy, jewel-toned, and straight out of a Wes Anderson scene. One of the original lifts, kept beautifully preserved. • The Beaufort Bar sits on the old cabaret stage - it used to host performances! The photos don’t even cover half of it. The glowing chandeliers, the stained-glass dome, the palm trees tucked between marble columns, the wrought iron marked “1889,” the moody red-lit bar with its cheeky cocktail menu, the seasonal displays, the branded butter, the immaculate breakfast tables… Every space feels like it’s been styled with intention. Even the slippers have that signature Savoy green trim! Breakfast was its own little adventure. I tried chia seeds for the first time - gave them a fair chance but absolutely not for me. However, the egg white omelette more than made up for it - so yummy! Light, delicate, topped with microgreens… The kind of dish that looks like it’s been plated with tweezers and tastes even better than it looks. 📌 The Savoy Hotel, Strand, London, WC2R 0EZ, United Kingdom It sits right on the Strand, with its private road Savoy Court leading up to that iconic green sign. Perfectly placed between Covent Garden, the Thames and the West End. The whole place has this mix of history, theatre and quiet luxury that just wraps around you. It’s iconic for a reason."

Behind the unassuming entrance in Peckham, you are transported to the height of the Jazz Age. Think velvet, chandeliers, jazz drifting through the room and performers slipping between tables like you’ve wandered into a film set. ​The Story: It is based on the true story of Belle Livingstone, a legendary Jazz Age socialite and "Queen of the Speakeasies" who ran the original 58th Street Country Club in Manhattan. ​The Location: 133 Rye Lane/Copeland Park, SE15 ​The night runs like a true vintage dinner club: • ​Live jazz musicians: The 58th Street Stompers provide a high-energy soundtrack. • ​Cabaret-style acts and dancers: Performers move through the crowd, making the room feel alive. • ​Storytelling threaded through the evening: Based on the life of "Speakeasy Queen" Belle Livingstone. • ​Champagne poured with enthusiasm: The drinks flow as freely as the music. • ​A six course tasting menu: Carefully timed to be served between the theatrical performances. ​A Culinary Performance ​The food is honestly exquisite - fine dining wrapped in theatre and glamour. The menu is designed to reflect the decadence of Park Avenue, featuring: • ​The Seafood Course: A mix of oysters, seafood cocktails, and seared fish. (While the oysters are a "love it or hate it" rite of passage, they are as fresh as it gets!) • ​The Caviar: Served on a tiny warm pancake (blini), offering a perfect, salty-sweet introduction to high-end dining. • ​The Mains: Rich meat courses with decadent sauces poured tableside for that extra bit of flair. • ​The Finale: Desserts that look like artwork and are almost too pretty to eat - not photographed was a delicious orange sorbet! There was also a Night cap! ​A Night to Remember: ​This isn't just a meal; it's a 'whole night out.' By the time the final notes of jazz fade, the boundary between the audience and the 1930s has completely blurred. It remains one of London's most unique 'secret' spots for those looking to trade the 21st century for a bit of vintage mischief."

Great view on the St. James’s Park, looking like the Island of #Avalon expecting our visit...

"When waters stirred lay silent
Mistress let the mists descend
Thy tears cannot thaw Death's cold heart
His sombre gaze defies legend
More so than thine lest thy dew-lidded eyes
Art for the Banshee's song
Or our souls entwined like vein upon
The haunted shores of Avalon"

(CRADLE OF FILTH, "The haunted Shores of Avalon")

June 8th, 2024 in 1376 marked the death of Edward Plantagenet (of Woodstock), who died aged 45 exactly 649 years ago. Being one of the famous and ruthless actors in the Hundred Years War and the only Prince of Wales who didn't become king, he was laid to rest in Canterbury Cathedral where his surcoat, helmet, shield, and gauntlets are still preserved.

Some years ago I visited Canterbury to participate in the history preserved at Canterbury Cathedral.
