About Climbing Moss

Climbing Moss is a London-based lifestyle and culture blog run by Ash and Bob — two creative weirdos with a love for coffee shops, Korean culture, animals, books, parks, crafts and finding small adventures in everyday life.

What started as a climbing and creativity blog slowly evolved into a collection of the things we genuinely love:

  • Exploring new places,
  • Discovering independent cafés,
  • Fitness and Lifestyle,
  • Talking about K-Dramas and K-Pop,
  • Learning Languages
  • Creative Hobbies,
  • Dogs,
  • and the occasional existential crisis.

At its heart, Climbing Moss is about curiosity, creativity and trying to find beauty in ordinary places.

What You’ll Find Here

On Climbing Moss we regularly post about:

Coffee Shops

Independent cafés, coffee shop discoveries.

Adventures

Parks, walks, hidden corners of the city and places worth exploring.

Korean Culture

K-Dramas, K-Pop, Korean beauty and the things currently consuming our lives.

Creative Living

Art, books, collecting, crafts and all the other hobbies we accidentally fall into.

Why “Climbing Moss”?

Because we liked the image of something growing slowly, creatively and naturally over time.

Also because we used to climb.
And because moss is cool.

Plus it was for our two dogs – Bracken – The Moss and Solo – The Climb

A Few Random Facts

  • We will travel unreasonable distances for good coffee.
  • Half our conversations are about leaving the UK.
  • We own too many Kpop Albums.
  • We judge cafés mostly on the size of the cup.
  • We genuinely love weird niche hobbies.
  • Most of our best ideas happen by accident.
  • We have far too many biases
