    December 10, 2020 / No Comments

    Walking into Searcys at the Gherkin you’ll be in awe of the panoramic views across London and huge glass dome roof, providing plenty of light and atmosphere that rivals any restaurant in the Capital. From the menu, wine sommelier, outstanding service to the incredible views, Searcys at the Gherkin is a real treat for any special occasion.

    14 gift ideas that won’t get regifted this December

    December 2, 2020 / No Comments

    We’ve all received, and probably given, gifts that call on our poker face skills. Finding good Christmas gifts can be tricky, particularly if you’re shopping for someone with discerning tastes. Unsurprisingly, more than half of us have received unwanted gifts, according to a survey by Finder.com. Whether it’s a loud jumper from your gran or a helmet from Dad for the bicycle you sold two years ago, some Christmas presents just don’t hit the mark. These well-meaning gifts can be expensive too; the average unsuitable gift costs £47.10 and we receive an average of three every year. As a nation, we’re thought to be spending more than £5 billion every…

At secondary school age, these children look after at least one relative with disability, illness or mental health condition – sometimes spending up to 30 hours a week on care. Meet Young Carer, Ian Ian, age 16, from London is just one. Since the age of 13, he’s been a full-time carer for his mum, who suffered a posterior circulation stroke, and his younger brother, who has autism. Every day, and without hesitation, Ian manages household chores from cooking meals to cleaning and tending to his brother, on top of his busy school schedule. “I’m very proud…

    November 23, 2020 / No Comments

    We’ve officially started counting the sleeps until Christmas. This festive season might not be what we’re used to, but there’s few things that could change the feelings of joy and goodwill that come with this time of year. 2020 is an opportunity for us to get extra creative with our gift giving and — as the nights get chillier — our luxe gifts and hampers and personalised presents could be just the pick-me-up everyone needs. From Christmas snack baskets and alcoholic gifts to personalised books and high-end hampers with all the bells and whistles, there’s something for everyone.
