My Birthday Experience at ‘Oche’ at The Strand

I typically prefer a low-key celebration for my birthday, cherishing the blessing of another year and feeling grateful for it. This year was no exception, though it did have its special moments. After a lovely meal with my mum at The Blues Kitchen, my boyfriend surprised me with a trip to Oche, the fabulous digital darts venue on The Strand.

An evening of Luxury Living with The Flaneur

I am totally under no illusions that this type of living is the norm for millions of people. I for one know exactly what it’s like to dine in 5 star restaurants and to hang out in hotels and spas that many would dream of. (Not bad for a woman from Peckham!) However, since I ended my magazine in 2018, and the pandemic dropped kicked me to the ground in 2020 (like it did for so many people!) I haven’t really dined out anywhere special. I haven’t surrounded myself with opulence and I haven’t been treated to anything special either.
