Best Make-Out Spots in London with Sarah Bennetto on Travel with Kate
In London, I got in touch with Sarah Bennetto, a comedian and radio DJ. And I asked her to show me a slice of her London. Initially, we were going to go to her favorite coffee shops. But then we got to talking and realized that wasn't nearly as exciting as showcasing her growing list of great places to make-out around town. It wasn't easy to narrow down our selections - but I think we did a good job. So, voila the video result.
Here is info on the three main spots we highlighted:
1. Towpath Cafe
Along the Regents Canal at De Beauvoir Rd
Closest tube stop is the Haggerston Overground
2. Bridge Cafe
In Shorditch, 15 Kingsland Road
The closest tube: The Hoxton Overground
3. Islington New River Walk
It runs parallel to Essex Road in Canonbury Grove
The closest tube is Highbury and Islington Station (Victoria Line and London Overground)
And Hampstead Heath, well, that's off the Northern Line at Golder's Green. But finding the actual hollow tree is not easy!! It took us over an hour of wondering about, following the directions below. This was all we had to go on!
Walk down the long path from The Spaniards Road (Jack Straws Castle end), and carry on past Constable's Firs and The Vale Of Health, on the right.
Then take the right fork at The Battery and proceed down The Viaduct Path.
The famous Mock Tudor public conveniences are on the left.
Just beyond the conveniences is a path sharp right.
I hope you like it! Please leave a comment below.

London Districts: Millwall
The first episode of London Districts (Series Two) explores the East London district of 'Millwall' through a visual tour including some light historical commentary as an overview. Let's peel back some of the deeper layers in these lesser known areas of London.
Transcription:
----------------------------------------
Millwall makes up the eastern half of the Isle of Dogs adjacent to Cubitt Town and sits firmly inside the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Millwall started out as ‘Pomfret Manor’ where the earliest ferry would sail between Millwall and Greenwich in the 15th century. To harness the strong winds across the peninsula, 7 windmills were erected on the wide embankment walls to mill flour from the wheat and corn being brought along the River Thames Tideway. This is why Millwall is named the way it is.
Old workers of the Millwall Dock dealt in grain, timber and wool as well as flour, most notably from the McDougall family. These gardens are named after John McDougall in particular, a prominent local politician aswell.
Margaret Thatcher’s LDDC (the London Docklands Development Corporation) raised the ground level of these gardens up to the river surface to improve the view. The LDDC also coined the term ‘Docklands’ and developed the Barkantine Estate across Westferry Road along with its Quarterdeck Shopping Parade.
Millwall F.C. was founded here in 1885 before moving to New Cross in 1910. The Millwall name carries a history of football hooliganism so most islanders refer to the Millwall area today as the ‘Isle of Dogs’ to make the distinction.
Millwall Dock is also an area where several housing developments and impressive apartment towers have been developed. There is a marked contrast between the newly established living and working areas and the older neighbouring developments in the area.
The 'SS Great Eastern' was the largest ship ever to exist in 1858.
It was twice the height of Big Ben in length and too wide for the Thames upon its construction so the Millwall shipbuilding workers had no choice but to launch the ship sideways. It held 4,000 passengers and could go from Millwall to Australia without refuelling.
This is all that remains at its launch site, the Millwall Iron Works factory, which is now Burrell’s Wharf.
The most obvious transport to the area is the DLR via Island Gardens, Mudchute and Crossharbour stations. Its also served by night buses and is about 10 minutes walk to the Jubilee Line at Canary Wharf.

London Video Tour: The East End
In this video tour, New York Habitat ( explores London's developing East End!
On the tour, David Hill will stop by some of the most popular and iconic neighborhoods and streets in London’s East End, including Shoreditch, Hoxton, Spitalfields, and the Spitalfields market. All of these neighborhoods comprise the greater East End, and overlap with equally popular Hackney. Find out more about Hackney in our blog ( Home to artists, rebels, and young professionals, there truly is a place for everyone in this diverse, eclectic neighborhood. Once a shipping and industrial center, recent decades of prosperity have transformed London’s East End into one of the best-kept secrets in town!
Find this dynamic neighborhood between Bishopsgate in the west and the River Lea in the east, as well as the River Thames to the south and Regent’s Canal to the north. You can find our other London apartments here (
Shoreditch
Once a working class neighborhood, this section of town has blossomed in recent decades into a hip and trendy spot for young professionals. Yet architectural elements still linger from Shoreditch’s days as a dockyard, silk center, and furniture hub. You can see some examples of this in our long-term rentals in London ( In fact, Shoreditch has been a home to artists for centuries, and was the location of the first playhouse built in England. The popup shops of Boxpark Shoreditch are especially famous, so be sure to check them out.
Hoxton
Synonymous with theaters and music halls, the neighborhood of Hoxton is known by locals as a great alternative to the theater districts in the West End. Its roots in the area are ancient, as even the Romans once traversed Ermine Street. Today it’s known for its loft conversions and fabulous entertainment hotspots. It’s a great place to look into if you’re thinking of renting an apartment in London. (
Brick Lane
Stretching from Swanfield Street to Whitechapel High Street, Brick Lane is famous for its Bangladeshi cuisine and avant-garde art. Local curry houses are famous for their spicy and delicious fare, while the streets serve as a showcase for professional and student art.
Spitalfields
Made famous as Jack the Ripper’s hunting ground, Spitalfields has evolved from a hotbed of crime to a thriving and diverse community of locals. Spitalfields market is a great place to pick up inexpensive vintage goods while St. Catharine’s docks have been recently transformed into a modern marina and crisp housing development. It's a great place to find a short-term vacation rental apartment. ( You certainly can’t beat the view, since the Tower Bridge and the Tower of London are but steps away.
We hope you've enjoyed this tour of London's East End neighborhood! Don't forget to check out our blog for more information about the area:
