The weather is finally getting warmer in London, and we are starting to get some sunny days. On one of these sunny days last weekend, I decided to go for a nice walk in Hampstead Heath. It certainly starts to feel more like a good idea to get out of bed early on a weekend […]

I’ve made no secret in the past of my love for going to the theatre and seeing live shows.  A recent birthday treat from a good friend combined both of these when we went to see Come Alive! The Greatest Showman.  You are advised to arrive one hour before the performance starts which is well […]

Non-league football has a buzz of its own for me, which I think surpasses the star-studded Premier League. With the winter weather finally subsiding, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to watch some true grassroots football, something I believe all football fans should experience from time to time. Many smaller clubs are suffering financially due […]

I am sure that some of you reading this can relate to the feeling of having no motivation or energy to stay active regularly. After a few years of encouragement by my brother, I started playing badminton weekly, beginning in August of last year. I have surprised myself with my consistency in staying on track […]

Being a Londoner born south of the river, one of my favourite local destinations I often find myself visiting is Greenwich. Popular with both locals and tourists, Greenwich offers a mixture of green spaces, riverside walks, pubs, and a local market where you can get your hands on a variety of goods, from craft items […]

Any home refurbishment project is liable to take on both a life and a direction of its own unless the scope and detail are nailed down before embarking on it. For example a fairly recent kitchen replacement at our home took as long to agree the detail as to carry out the removal of the […]

In late November, I had the pleasure of visiting Bucharest, the vibrant capital of Romania. The city, often referred to as “Little Paris” is a fascinating blend of old-world charm and modern energy. As I wandered through the streets, I was captivated by the stunning architecture. The grandiose buildings of the Belle Époque era stood […]

Today, our SGM-FX team celebrated the beginning of 2025 with our annual Bake-Off Competition. The team truly elevated the competition with an impressive array of flavours and vibrant cake presentations. After much deliberation, we crowned a winner (drum roll) … Charles! with his exquisite cheesecake with a delicate raspberry garnish. Frederick secured second place with […]

Last week I visited Budapest for my birthday where I embarked on lots of tourist activities but also lots of meals out and walking around the brightly lit city. Budapest has been on my list of city breaks for a long time and was nice to finally being able to fulfil that dream, even though […]

Ah, New Year’s Eve in London- the one night of the year where £3m is spent to fill the city sky with a perfect symphony of light and sound. Yes, it was cold. Not just “oh, better wear a scarf” cold, but “I can’t feel my toes or hands or face” cold. And there I […]

Last summer I took a trip to Tropea in Calabria in the South of Italy, with my girlfriend. I’ve always dreamed of going to Italy and after some research, we decided that Tropea would be the perfect blend of culture, history, beach and delicious food. We couldn’t have been more right – Tropea sits on […]

This year, the team headed to London for a delightful and elegant Christmas dinner, all dressed sharply and in style.
