Have been there since I moved into this area four years ago. Normally it is very difficult to get a local hair salon which can cut and style the hair fit for an asian head shape. But Dastan manage to do it well with a very professional and efficient team! Loraine did my cut most of the time and I absolutely love it :) She is always very attentive, kind, funny with really good energy level! They are really a very good hair salon for the community and everyone works there just look so happy, like a big happy family. Enjoy going there and their coffee is very strong too:)!
Forbidden City

We managed to get the tickets one day before the visit which was a work day. On the day of visit there were still long queues at the entrance but staff members were very efficient so we didn't wait for long.
The architecture is amazing and there were young girls in traditional Chinese dresses for photographs. The gift shop is also worthy of a visit.
Holland Park

Visit on a work day to avoid the crowd, according to the suggestion from some of the posts which proved to be useful. It was quiet, peaceful and full of elegant details. Both the Dutch garden and the Japanese garden are beautiful. I can imagine how busy this place can be on a weekend.
I appreciate this beautiful tiny little park in the busy Canary wharf neighbourhood. Very popular for the people living nearby.
Starbucks Coffee

Tried their new Oleato drink which is a latte with a spoonful of extra virgin oliver oil, aiming to create a smooth texture. It costs £5 for a regular and all I can taste is a water-like latte (very light coffee bean flavor) with a hint of oliver oil. It's smooth but this is how latte should taste like. The whole experience was underwhelming. The stars are all for the staff, the service, the nice deco and the location.
