About The September Chronicles
The September Chronicles is written by Simon and Jen, an Australian husband-and-wife duo who began travelling together after booking a one-way ticket to Europe for their honeymoon. They have visited 37 countries and now spend much of their time exploring the UK and their adopted home of London, often travelling with their twin baby boys. The site contains more than 350 posts since 2023, offering hotel reviews, staycation itineraries, photo journals and food and architecture highlights. Posts lean on the authors own photography and first-person accounts to deliver practical recommendations for boutique hotels and short breaks.
A polished couples travel diary that reads like a hotel inspector’s notebook crossed with a photo album. The voice is calm and personal, full of tasteful detail rather than breathless lists, and the posts we sampled are led by hotel reviews, carefully staged photo journals and well-structured itineraries. Readers will find excellent single-place deep dives such as the Heckfield Place itinerary, hotel write-ups for One Aldwych and The Ned, and a spring review of the Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech. We enjoyed how the visuals and narrative work together, making it ideal for anyone planning boutique staycations or short European escapes.
