The past week has seen the DLR train connection to London City Airport closed for line upgrades. Before setting off to the airport, it is wise to check online at www.tfl.gov.uk or www.londoncityairport.com to check for travel disruptions. There are replacement bus services in place but you should give yourself an extra half an hour if taking these to allow for delays and traffic

Absolutely delicious Keralan food served in a delightful way. This branch specialises in vegetarian and seafood and we had the feasts in both and both were fab. By 7pm they were turning people away so best to book or get there early.

Wine tasting on your doorstep in London. This fun night at cosy 'local' pub The Alma, is held approximately once a month on a Wednesday evening. Enjoy tutorials for different tastes and vintages from around the world, plus a selection of complimentary nibbles to stop you getting too drunk!

There are just 10 places per evening (book in advance!) so it feels pleasantly intimate - and you really do get to learn about what you're drinking.

All in all, a great, unusual night out in London.

Newington Green Road (North London - Canonbury or Highbury & Islington)

These are both great festivals, with excellent bands playing, a chilled out vibe and they are family friendly.

My tip for festivals is very very simple... Baked beans and Beanfeast! One of the big costs at festivals after admission and booze is the food. One way you can save money in these credit crunch times is to bring along at least some of your own... its not practical to bring it all. Baked beans are a staple: nutritious, cheap, easy to heat... even edible cold! Beanfeast is great, bit of that and pasta and some nice bread = dinner for four for about a fiver which is hideously cheap. And tasty!

Pack it before you leave home... available in most supermarkets and some health food stores.
