What was your favourite thing that you ate in London?
Lara: We went to Canteen, a super charming restaurant that was serving fresh and handmade pasta, their menu changes everyday. Lots of fresh and regional options.
Klaudia: Dinner at Decimo.
Choose 3 songs to soundtrack your London weekend.
Lara:
1 : Lana del Rey - “Ultraviolence"
Perfect for a late-night walk through London's quieter, more atmospheric streets, the song could provide a unique soundtrack. Perfect for having long and deep conversations.
2. Taylor Swift - “So Long, London”
The song has a fun, carefree vibe that fits well with the excitement of exploring a new city. It captures that feeling of saying goodbye to a place you've enjoyed, but it's not too heavy or emotional-it's more about the thrill and the adventure.
3. Arctic Monkeys - "Do I Wanna Know?"
Klaudia: One word: BRAT. The entire album.
A modern, gritty track that channels the cool, underground vibe of London's music scene.
What's one thing that makes a hotel a home away from home?
Lara: Personalised, attentive service. When hotel staff go the extra mile to make guests feel welcomed and comfortable—remembering their preferences, offering local recommendations, or providing thoughtful amenities—it creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that mirrors the comfort of being at home.
Klaudia: Definitely a comfy bed and bathrobe.
What's one fashion "don't" that somehow becomes a "do" whilst you're on holiday?
Lara: Trying new and different styles - everyone has this thought when trying something new in their hometown: 'Oh my God, can I really wear this? Is it a bit too much or too different from my usual style?' On holiday, I feel more free and comfortable trying out new styles.
Klaudia: Wearing cheap touristy clothes you buy at a souvenir store...guilty pleasure.
What's the weirdest thing you can't travel without?
Lara: A pillowcase from home.
Klaudia: My got2b glued hairspray, people with a fringe understand.
If you could steal any Londoner's wardrobe for a week, whose would it be?
Lara: Definitely Princess Diana. If I had to choose someone alive, it would be @_olhirst! I love her unique pieces combined with basic pieces.
Klaudia: Charli XCX.
