Ariba!

Due to circumstance beyond my control involving crowbars and rum it has been necessary to frequent the Church Street Hotel in Camberwell. What's not to love about a boutique hotel with extra Latin quirk in SE5? Must remember to have less control of circumstance in future if this is the result. Illicitly smoking out of the window of our lime green room wrapped in a Peruvian blanket, I definitely felt a holiday vibe. Hand painted Mexican tiles adorn the bathrooms while old Havana Club bottles double up as vases, this is quirky boho at it's best.

Monday morning gave way to a gloriously bright, watery sunrise and a lazy plan of visiting the Royal Observatory at Greenwich was executed, followed by Long Island Iced Tea cocktails and prawn stir fry. Bliss.
