Discover the luxury shopping destination of London Designer Outlet
It might only be October, but if you're anything like us, you'll want to start getting Christmas gifts organised for the loved ones in your life ahead of the festive season. London Designer Outlet is a total shopaholic's playground, with everything from highstreet labels to designer brands, homeware stores and beauty outlets offering major savings across everything in stock. Located just a ten-minute walk from Wembley Park tube station, London Designer Outlet is the ultimate pre-concert pitstop or post-match bargain hunt for those visiting Wembley Stadium.
It's not all about the shopping, however. When you need some downtime to think over that Villeroy & Boch purchase, or want to trawl through your discounted finds while refuelling with a delicious meal or cocktail, there's also a versatile selection of food and drink outlets.
Not one to pass up the opportunity to find a bargain, I headed to LDO to check it out for myself. I was immediately struck by how helpful the staff are, always taking the opportunity to talk through your purchase, or offer alternatives. The thriving, but calm atmosphere of this Wembley shopping village is miles away from the hectic fleet of shoppers that descend upon Oxford Street at the weekends - making it the ultimate destination for a solo shopping trip.
Whether you're after a new pair of loafers, want to amp up your makeup collection or are looking for a chic new dining set for your minimalist kitchen - London Designer Outlet likely has something for you. The best part? The stock isn't outdated, damaged, or the 'unwanted' collection that never made it to highstreet shelves. I bought a chic Fuschia cardigan in the Marks & Spencer outlet I had my eye on in the store just weeks before. You won't need to convince me to go back!

Indulge in Circolo Popolare's famous dessert
There’s something about the Big Mamma restaurants that makes this Italian Group go beyond its Instagram hype. It’s difficult to tell whether it’s the breathtaking interiors, where trattoria arches are lined with rainbow liquor bottles, or the warming service where waiting staff take pride in going above and beyond to elevate your meal, or if it’s the deliciously tempting menu inspired by timeless Italian classics that makes a trip to Circolo Popolare so special - but we can tell you that it’s exceptional.
If you're a lover of truffle, the Mafaldine al Tartufo 'truffle pasta' is to die for, as is the wholesome Carbonara carved from a wheel of Pecorino. Pizza fans can delight in pillowy dough and Napoli tomato, while cheese enthusiasts will queue for the giant creamy burrata. And if you go here without ordering a show stopping, towering lemon meringue pie, you’re doing it wrong.

Tuck into Spanish small plates at Tapas Brindisa
I once read that a hack for determining if a tapas restaurant is good is by the quality of their 'patatas bravas.' I'm not sure if there's any credibility in that claim, but I can tell you that Tapas Brindisa certainly know their alioli when it comes to finessing small plates. This lively, bustling tapas restaurant tucked on the corner of Borough Market in London Bridge, is a food-lover's dream. Bursting with flavour and vibrant in colour, the Mediterranean-inspired small plates on offer are simple, but exceptional. From flavoursome Pan con Tomate to salty Iberico ham, the Spanish menu delights range from classic to creative - all equally delicious and carefully presented.
Highlights include the squid-ink paella, inky in colour and rich in flavour, followed by the Gambas Al Ajillo, served in a sizzling skillet of chilli and garlic oil. With heated outdoor seating and a lively indoor atmosphere, Tapas Brindisa is the perfect place to simmer down for the weekend with friends.
