In Bath, there are a few iconic places. One of them is the lovely Royal Crescent. Its a row of opulent town houses (with amazing views) that follow the shape of a half moon. If you’ve ever seen any Austen adaptations you’ll most likely recognise it! It of course panders (smartly) to the Austen… Read More The Royal Crescent
I managed to get out of London again! Mum and I packed up and took a train out. First stop on our mini adventure was the home of one of my favourite authors: Jane Austen. You may have heard of her? She’s kind of a big deal. I love her for her scathing social… Read More Lost in Austenland
Greetings from the UK! I am so honoured to be allowed to guest blog on Liberte of London!!!

Yet another South London Museum! Now, many of you may know of this place by another name- Bedlam. As in the term you use for ‘a mad house’. Bethlem was founded in the 1570s (AMAZING) as an institution for people with mental illnesses. This site is actually its (at least) 4th location in its history.… Read More Bethlem

Here is yet another Amsterdam post! We were only there for like 4 days but we managed 5 museums. Not too shabby if I do say so myself! I would like to note that we did not visit the Anne Frank House. For whatever reason it just didn’t really appeal to us enough. I still… Read More A Huis Museum

Hello my dearest readers! Thanks for sticking with me. It’s a real pleasure to know that I’m not just sending these out to be eaten by Galactus. For this visit I made it to the amazing Wallace Collection in Soho. It’s a mansion right at the centre of London’s wealthiest areas. Luckily for us… Read More French taste in the heart of London
The Geffrye is a museum of interior home decor! Specifically British, middle class from the 1500s onwards. It’s located in old almshouses that were for aging poor without families to care for them. So its pretty cool due to the history of the space and its theme. Naturally, the chapel is the focus… Read More The Geffrye
