London via Surrey

Overwhelmed by what to do first?  Anxious to get it all in?
Tired of taking visitors to the same places over and over again?


London via Surrey is an insider's guide to the best of London and Surrey — with mini reviews of what to do, where to eat, tips on living here and more. The is the information I wish I had when I arrived. Each Wednesday, I will be sharing the first two to three listings of each section of the book app that's nearly ready to download — alternating between what to do and where to eat.

But before I can do any of that — I have to thank my dear friend Laura Mellberg for introducing me to Mod Maude and inspiring me with her blog; fellow foodie Lynn O’Brien for her recommendations of places to try; Betsy Cook Speer for sharing her expertise having written her first book; and Tracy Southwick who convinced me there would be more than an audience of one.

Lastly, just as many of you saved my many e-mails of ideas and tips, I saved each of your responses with your positive feedback and supportive comments. So thanks to each of you and all the others who joined me on the adventures that follow!

    1. Thank you so much Tracy! Even though the idea had gone in and out of my head for a while - it wasn't until we were picking berries at Garson's last August that I decided to take the leap. Thanks for being the extra voice in my head and giving me the extra 'nudge' ;)

  7. Shunney, now I don't have to tell the "new" people to find you for recommendations on everything from yoga classes to restaurants to exotic outings in Surrey and London. And I too will appreciate that I can now go to this great resource you have created. I don't know how you do everything that you do Shunney but I feel very lucky to benefit from it all. Congrats!
