Maggie’s Club London: The 80’s Are Back!

Maggie’s Club in London is back with a bang, after undergoing a facelift while it was closed during the pandemic — and it’s totally rad! ‘Video didn’t kill the radio star’ at this 1980’s retro nightclub which is located in the heart of Chelsea. ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’, so after a day of birthday celebrations, I decided ‘I Wanna…

Maggie’s Club in London is back with a bang, after undergoing a facelift while it was closed during the pandemic — and it’s totally rad! ‘Video didn’t kill the radio star’ at this 1980’s retro nightclub which is located in the heart of Chelsea.

‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’, so after a day of birthday celebrations, I decided ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’. We headed over to this late-night club for some eighties smash hits and outlandish drinks where we could all ‘Bust a Move’!

After showing ID at the door (this is a licensing requirement) we were told to ‘Walk this Way’ down one of London’s most Instagrammable stairwells, to our table.

This club not only embodies the 80’s style, it plays the absolute best music. Everything is so well designed, from the light-up menus, to the wacky toilets. The interior of the club is filled with Rubik’s Cube and cassette tape tables, funky animal print seating and a giant retro fish tank, taking us back to ‘The Summer of 69′.

We sipped our 80’s inspired cocktails ‘All Night Long,’ and listened to resident Maggie’s DJ playing the best of the ‘80’s from the walkman DJ booth.

The Maggie’s Club A-Team have launched a new cocktail menu featuring boozy cocktails including Flashdance Frozen Daiquiri with Bacardi Carta Blanca rum, raspberry, lime juice and sugar, the Chelsea Mojito with Bacardí Carta Blanca rum, Bacardí Coconut rum, lime juice, sugar, mint and soda water, as well as signature cocktails, all served out of 80’s themed vessels.

Maggie’s is named after Britain’s first female prime minister, Maggie Thatcher, paying homage to the Iron Lady’s glory days. Old Maggie Thatcher speeches play in the loo, and there are ample Maggie Thatcher political memorabilia scattered around the club. The club is filled with 80’s memorabilia and as each piece triggered a memory of our youth, we had a ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart.’ It’s a fun experience – particularly for those that actually remember the 80’s.

‘I Had the Time of my Life’ and Maggie’s was Just Like Heaven’ with the deliciously strong cocktails, fantastic atmosphere, and was the perfect place to Celebrate Good Times… Come on!!!’ ‘I Love Rock and Roll’ and it’s clear how much time and effort has gone into refurbishing this club. I want to come back ‘Time After Time,’ and if you’re looking for something a little different to do in London, this is a great night out!

Table service is offered at the weekends – you can book your table at Maggie’s here.

Hi! I’m Samantha

I’m a travel and health writer, marketing consultant, breast cancer survivor, and proud mum to two young men, who are, without question, my greatest achievement.

I share family travel, destination guides, honest reviews, and the realities of life after breast cancer. It’s sometimes lovely, sometimes messy, but always authentic, and told with my dry (and sometimes naughty) British sense of humor.

I’m so glad you’re here.

  • Brunch is officially back at Love & Salt ❤️
Start with the Bombolini di Gabriele (warm Italian doughnuts filled with lemon curd or whipped Nutella) and order them “for the table,” even though you’ll low key wish you had your own. 
.
The menu blends Italian comfort with fresh California ingredients with items that include: Chilaquiles made with Chino Valley eggs, crispy orange spiced brioche french toast, and a very serious five-egg breakfast sandwich. Honestly, you’re going to want to try everything.
.
The space is bright and beautiful, the location couldn’t be better, and the brunchy cocktails are fabulous. Caffeine and a cocktail? Yes, please. And of course, it all comes with the warm and welcoming service Love & Salt is known for.🍸
.
Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM–2:30 PM and reservations are suggested.

  • I forgot how easy San Diego is for a quick getaway from LA. We recently drove down, stayed at Hilton San Diego Bayfront, and caught a Padres game.⚾️

The hotel is right on the bay, close to downtown, Coronado, the Gaslamp Quarter, Seaport Village, and Petco Park. If you’re going to a Padres game, the location is honestly perfect. We walked from the hotel, over the pedestrian bridge, and straight to the ballpark.

The newly renovated rooms are lovely and have everything that matters: a comfy bed, great pillows, and a separate sitting area. I’m not the easiest sleeper, but I actually slept here, which is always my true test.

We ate a delish dinner at Hudson & Nash, the hotel’s signature restaurant with bay views, firepits, World Cup games at the bar, fab seafood, and a cioppino loaded with lobster. 🦞🌅☀️

Definitely ask for a table by the firepits if you can.

Hilton San Diego Bayfront is perfect for a couple’s weekend, a family stay, or a Padres getaway. Easy drive, gorgeous location, and no airport stress.
This stay was kindly hosted by Hilton San Diego Bayfront.. and yes, I would absolutely go back.

  • Welcome - my blog got a facelift…bless her…she was looking a little tired💕

There are lots of new faces around here, so I thought I’d introduce myself and tell you why My Travelling Circus exists. 

I’ve always dreamed of being a travel writer. Long before Instagram, TikTok, influencers, affiliate links, or even the idea that you could make a living online. 
Back then, it was just a place to share stories and photos from our travels. 🌎

Then life took a wobble. At a routine doctor’s appointment, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  It was a dark time. My boys were young, and I genuinely didn’t know what the future would hold. During treatment and recovery, I spent a lot of time in bed. So I started writing. I documented everything. The cancer journey. Family life. The places we’d traveled. The memories we’d made. 💕🌸

To be honest, I think part of me was creating a little corner of the internet where our stories, our photos, and the adventures we’d shared together would live….Just in case I didn’t. Twelve years later, I’m still here. (woot woot!) 🙏

The boys are now young men. Social media exploded. The internet changed. And somehow, this little blog grew alongside it. What started as a personal project became a business, a community, and one of the greatest surprises of my life. Today, My Travelling Circus is where I share family travel, destination guides, travel tips, honest reviews, wellness, family stuff, and life after breast cancer.
And if you’ve found your way here, I’m so happy to have you. 

If you’d like to follow along, I’d be incredibly grateful if you’d subscribe to my newsletter. I promise not to fill your inbox with junk...just stories, travel inspiration, and the occasional adventure.🌸💕 (link in bio)

Thank you for being here.

  • Sometimes you need a reminder that there is still so much good in the world 💕🙏
Today, three rescued sea lion pups were released back into the ocean after being cared for by an incredible team of people @marinemammalcare 🦭
.
Watching them head home is proof that when people come together to help, amazing things can happen.🙏
Welcome back to the wild, little ones.

  • What a whirlwind few days in NYC with the Fastbreak.AI team celebrating being named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026✨
.
Broadway shows, piano bars, late-night drinks rotating the city, and somehow squeezing in actual work. New York really is the city that never sleeps. Let’s do it again!

If you’re planning your own trip to NYC, I have everything you need here:

  • I love finding restaurants that are fun for a group dinner and @descansorestaurant is the perfect spot. We did the Plancha dining experience, where the chefs cook everything right on the sizzling grill at your table, and it feels like dinner and entertainment rolled into one.🔥
.
Our carne asada and Pork Loin Alambre were cooked to our preference right in front of us, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and somehow didn’t feel heavy at all.
.
And the cocktails… very cool cocktail menu. We tried the Coco Verano (with Don Fulano Blanco, Cointreau, Fresh Coconut, Pressed Coconut Water, Agave, Lime) and the house fav. Cucumber + Sal (El Tesoro Blanco Tequila, Chareau Aloe Liqueur, Cucumber, Cilantro, Lime and Black Sea Salt). The margaritas were very much flowing at our table.🍋‍🟩
.
The whole experience is social, interactive, and feels like sitting around a taco stand with friends while everything’s cooking fresh in front of you… which actually is where the founders took their inspiration 🇲🇽
.
Descanso has locations in LA and Costa Mesa and is perfect for birthdays, date nights, girls’ dinners, or taking out-of-town guests who want a fun LA dinner experience. Save room for dessert… or settle into their very impressive tequila bar for an after-dinner drink.🍸

  • Lucky me - I got to spend Mother’s Day under the sea watching The Little Mermaid at the Nocturne Theater in Glendale with my very own Sebastian❤️
.
The theater is staged in-the-round, so the entire undersea world happens all around you, with the characters sometimes only a couple of feet from the audience. The costumes are gorgeous and beautifully designed to bring the underwater world to life. There was even a performer doing aerial acrobatics on an aerial rope above the stage. And of course, you already know the songs…the pure voice of @jennamaewhite as Ariel is Disney magic 🐠🦀
.
One of my favorite parts was watching the little girls arrive in their Ariel dresses, beside themselves with excitement, and at the end, the cast came out to meet them and take photos…so lovely 💕
.
Such a sweet way to spend the afternoon with my boy. If you grew up loving The Little Mermaid, definitely try to see this one before it leaves Glendale.
.
The Little Mermaid @thenocturnetheatre 
Dates: May 8th – June 14th
Location: 324 North Orange Street, Glendale, CA 91203
Show Length: 2.5 hours (with intermission)

  • Four countries, no backtracking - our Balkans road trip was fabulous. Here’s the loop we drove:🇭🇷🇧🇦🇲🇪🇦🇱🇭🇷
- Flew into Dubrovnik (Croatia) 
- Dubrovnik to Mostar (Bosnia & Herzegovina)
- Down through Kotor and Budva (Montenegro)
- Over to Shkodër (Albania)
- Back to Dubrovnik (drop boys at the airport)
-  Dubrovnik to Korčula Island (Croatia)
- Korčula to Split (Croatia)
- Split to Dubrovnik (Croatia)

We explored coastlines, islands, mountain roads, old towns… so much culture packed into two weeks. I mapped the full route and shared exactly how we did it (what I’d do again vs skip) over on the blog - link in bio if you’re thinking about it.🌍
