    ad 🇬🇧 Weekend in East London itinerary ⬇️ 

For this 2-day itinerary, I recommend staying at Canary Wharf’s new aparthotel, @vertus.edit, for the perfect place to stay in one of London’s most exciting and creative areas.

The studios at @vertus.edit all have a fully equipped kitchen which is perfect for longer stays and plenty of colourful spaces to chill and relax in. There’s also colourful lounge & co-working spaces, super fast WiFi, a rooftop with banging city skyline views, a gym and a 24/7 honesty market for snacks and essentials.

💗 Use my code KELSEY15 for a 15% discount when you book a stay at @vertus.edit

DAY 1

☕️ Coffee from 640 East – they do the best flat white here!
🌳 Morning stroll around the various green spaces around Canary Wharf. Check out Crossrail Place Roof Garden, Eden Dock, Jubilee Park & all the stunning waterside boardwalks.
🍽️ Lunch at Marceline – a stunning brasserie serving authentic French cuisine.
🔑 Check in to your Vertus Edit Studio.
🚤  Hire a boat from GoBoat and cruise along the water and soak in the city views.
🌆 Enjoy sunset and a pre-dinner drink from the rooftop at Vertus Edit.
🍛 Dinner at Kricket – this is one of my favourite Indian restaurants in London, make sure to order their panipuri.
🍿 Movie night and late night snacks from the Vertus Edit honesty market.

DAY 2

🏋️‍♂️ Morning gym sesh at Vertus Edit.
🚃 Get on  DLR to Greenwich.

    🇪🇸 The most aesthetic hotel in Barcelona ⬇ 🇪🇸 The most aesthetic hotel in Barcelona ⬇️

Say hola to @thehoxtonhotel Poblenou — a design-lover’s dream in one of the most creative corners of Barcelona with the most aesthetically pleasing interiors I’ve ever laid eyes on. Every single inch of this place has been meticulously designed, even the hallways are covered in curated prints from local artists.

🏖️ FEATURES
At the top of The Hoxton, there’s a gorgeous rooftop pool overlooking the city, with loungers for long afternoons and skyline views that offer a front row seat to Barcelona’s most iconic masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia.

🍽️ DINING
On the rooftop, Tope serves up Yucatan-style tacos, spicy margaritas and sea views — great for sunset but equally inviting for a long, lazy lunch. Downstairs, Four Corners is their Italian American restaurant with a Barcelona twist. Come for natural wines, crispy Detroit-style pizzas, and a lively crowd that spills out onto the terrace. There’s also a dangerously convenient grab-and-go slice shop at the front.

🛌 ROOMS
The rooms are spacious, calming, and thoughtfully detailed. Floor-to-ceiling windows, warm wooden tones, terrazzo-tiled bathrooms and those signature Hoxton headboards. Rooms start at around £160 a night and there are even Homey options with a kitchenette, dining table & lounge area if you’re in town longer.

✨ EXTRAS
This location is perfect for second time visit to Barcelona or if you’re looking to experience Barcelona like a local. You’ll be in the heart of Poblenou, one of Barcelona’s coolest neighbourhoods, filled with galleries, cafés and concept stores. It’s 15-20 minutes from Barcelona’s main attractions like the Sagrada, Barcelona Cathedral and the beach.
