Get down to Selfridges Wonder Room before 22 Feb to see these delicious (they smell so good) creations up close... but no touching!

The wonders of Wardour

Yet another example of deliciousness to pop up on Wardour Street and right next to The Hummingbird Bakery...Decisions, decisions! My walk to the tube just became a little more calorific!

Art Deco Trail

After indulging in my love for Art Deco at the Apollo Victoria Theatre a couple of weeks ago, I decided to take myself on a little Art Deco adventure trail. London isn't mega famous for its Art Deco architecture, but there are some amazing examples dotted around, that are well worth a look. Check out this cute little map from the V&A for an idea of what is where. There are still a few I'm yet to see, but here are a few examples to get you started...

BBC Broadcasting House, Portland Place

Adelphi Theatre on the Strand

The Savoy hotel on the Strand

The Daily Telegraph building, Fleet Street

Daily Express Building...the lobby is stunning but not open to the public (boooo!), click here to see more.

The Ideal House National Radiator Company, on the corner of Argyle Street

The Hoover Building

A whole lotta love...

i felt a little sorry for this lonely heart...
