A few weeks ago Get Living London, who redeveloped the Olympic Athlete’s Village, invited a few select bloggers to come and join them for breakfast in London’s newest neighbourhood – aka East Village – with a spot of recreational shopping in the adjacent Westfield shopping centre thrown in.

You can imagine I jumped at the chance to head east and explore the area whilst connecting with some fellow London bloggers. Having just moved a month ago I bought some nice kitchen accessories with my shopping voucher and couldn’t resist styling my finds in one of their gorgeous show homes on the tenth floor.

Needless to say the views were amazing across the Olympic Stadium, Canary Wharf and The City but what impressed me most was how well designed and planned everything is. Transport, green spaces, schools, health services it’s all easily accessible and I love the fact that they’ll be renting out over 30 retail units to independents so I’m expecting some artisan coffee shops and bakeries next time I visit.

If you want to see more about our day – or see me on camera (*cringe*) – check out the video below. My fellow bloggers were bubbly fashion queens Lauren & Felicity from Pretty, Posh, Oh My Gosh! and lovely Katherine from Lady Loves Cake.
