Read MoreBLOC Magazine
As the demolition phase of our BLOC Grand Central project nears completion, we are focusing on a number of other sites in the UK and Europe. We are working hard to expand the BLOC presence in major city centres and transport hubs.
We are keen for more discerning travellers to experience BLOC's affordable luxury and learn how we are changing the way people use hotels.
The 18th issue of BLOC magazine explores Lisbon, recent winner of 'The World's Leading City Destination'. The Portuguese capital is a city where old customs and ancient history intermix with cultural entertainment and hi-tech innovation.
We also profile BLOC-sponsored, Jamie Chadwick, who has signed for the Williams F1 team as a development driver.
Staying with the motoring theme, we showcase the stunning new Aston Martin Valkyrie and Porsche's new electric offering.
Once again we hope that this magazine provides you with some insight and entertainment on your journey.
You can view all of the articles on this site or view an online FREE version of the magazine, here.
We’ll also be adding to and updating this site with more cool stuff that we find on our travels. Jump on board!
