Thanks for the update. Very strange they’ve ended this in the middle of the Easter holidays.
This is so helpful! Not being from London or the area, what top three restaurants would you recommend? I’m looking for restaurants in the city since we are site sighing. Anyone of these have a view?
I am doing a radio news story this week on the Kids Eat for Free programme for the October Half Term, and how this will help families during the Cost of Living Crisis. If anyone has anything they would like to say on this matter please do get in touch! #journorequest – minty.gow@city.ac.uk
Thankyou for all the amazing information and money saving ideas! Appreciated
