    A lot of the DesignMyNight team live in London, so when a newcity ranking comes out, and London makes it to the top three, we'vegot thoughts. Pretty happy ones. In 2024, we stated that Londonwas voted the best city in the world for a night out, and thisnew 2025 study is giving the major city, yet another accolade.

    I don't know about anyone else when they were growing up, butvisiting a car boot sale on a Sunday wasn't just fun, it was afamily commitment. Early mornings were spent casting eyes overtables and blankets filled with trinkets and bits, while youwatched your parent haggle toys down from £1 to 50p. My husband and I still lush over the smell of car boot doughnutsfrom the van whenever we're at one (of course, I marriedsomeone who likes to visit them too).

    Published 14 May 2025. By Katie Kirwan.  A few months ago, I was invited to stay at the art'otel inBattersea. The hotel was both modular and artsy. It was impeccably designedand the staff and service match its efficacy. But it wasn't necessarily just the hotel that stood outto me. Battersea is growing in its repertoire of things to do, andcontinues to stand out as a hub for eating and drinking when thesun shines in the city.

Anyone know of any GREAT end of tenancy cleaning companies in London that are particularly good at doing a deep job and familiar with the odd red wine stain or two? ❤️
