Back to School

London Weekends.

Despite Summers regretful departure, and our 'back to school' blues, there's still fun to be had right here in the city. London is full of pleasures, and there truly is something for everyone. With clubs and pubs aplenty, food from all 7 continents, a rich culture, beautiful green parks, and astonishing architecture, the city truly is your oyster.

We know how much our BomBom's love the beach, but we also think our baskets make a great city companion. Our Big Personalised Basket also makes the perfect gym bag, with a towel lining and drawstring close for keeping all your belongings safe when you're on the move.

Being a London-based brand, we think we're pretty savvy when it comes to Londons hottest spots, so we have put together a London guide on where to eat, sleep, shop and explore. So grab your BomBom and your best pals and hit the city with our guide to 'The Best of London'.
