  • Beautiful Places: Neil Humphreys savours breezy picnics and giant hands at Changi Point
    Feb 15 2026

    Author Neil Humphreys has a bike breakdown at Changi Village, which proves to be the most happy of accidents as he ends up at Changi Point, the breeziest corner of Changi Beach Point. First, he stumbles upon a giant hand sculpture - AKA the Inscription of the Island - and then he discovers something even better: dozens of foreign workers enjoying picnics together. As Neil explains to co-host Glenn van Zutphen, the simple life really is the best life and there's nowhere simpler, prettier or breezier than Changi Point.

  • Beautiful Places: Neil Humphreys follows Shakespeare and Tom Cruise into the Anchor Inn
    Jan 11 2026

    Author Neil Humphreys follows in the footsteps of William Shakespeare, Samuel Pepys and Tom Cruise as all four have now visited the iconic London pub - The Anchor Inn - on the South Bank of the River Thames. Neil gives co-host Glenn van Zutphen a glimpse into the storied past of a pub that first opened its doors in 1616. The pub served pirates, smugglers and provided diarist Samuel Pepys with the ideal view to witness the Great Fire of London of 1666. Pepys famously recorded what he saw through the pub window. Oh, and Tom Cruise raised a glass to another successful Mission Impossible movie at the same pub.

  • Beautiful Places: Neil Humphreys conquers Rail Corridor (without being arrested)
    Aug 31 2024

    Neil Humphreys has waited almost a decade to find the time and patience to tackle the Rail Corridor - all 25 sweaty kilometres of it. He dragged his family to the starting point at Kranji at 7am and convinced them that they could reach Tanjong Pagar without killing each other. Together, they battled storms, wayward cyclists and elderly selfie groupies to reach the finish line... or did they?
