London – Eating & Drinking – Restaurants – Mexican In this world, you can’t go far wrong with food that starts with a flat circle of stuff. Pizza is awesome. Pancakes are awesome. A kebab can get you through in a tight situation. Pasties are quite popular, and that’s just a Cornish pizza that’s been…
London – Eating & Drinking – Restaurants – British – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Pubs I think this is the first review I’ve ever written whilst still on the premises… When you get a nice spacious, airy room filled with magnificent beers from around the world, and then put a bunch…
(note: there are no sponsors – I just couldn’t think of a better title… which, if you look at all the other titles I’ve ever written, you’ll see is quite plausible) I love it when friends of mine are involved in innovative public-facing software projects – for example, my mate Warren’s involved in the highly…
London – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Pubs No matter how hard I try, I really find it hard to actively LIKE the Bree Louise. The first thing people usually point at is the marvellous array of marvellous beer – it’s like there’s a permanent beer festival going on in there, with…

London – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Pubs Out on a Saturday evening’s pub-skylarking with a friend we found ourselves in Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, and I have to say – I was very impressed! Initially the heat from the fireplace seemed oppressive, but that was possibly in contrast from the frigid…
London – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Pubs We recently bowled in here for a Sunday roast whilst in the neighbourhood – as a visitor from the far North I’d often heard of The Union in the wilds of Greenwich, and was quite pleased with what I found. The main drawcard of…
London – Eating & Drinking – Pubs & Bars – Pubs The Speaker is a neat, cosy little bolthole tucked away in Westminster – a perfect place to be snugly installed with a pint of real ale when the freezing rain’s lashing down outside! A favourite of nearby officeworkers (and often, parlimentarians), if you arrive…
London There’s a tendency in this country for quite mediocre businesses to survive or even flourish based on their proximity to large groups of lazy people. There’s the Station-to-Pub-Proximity-Rule to illustrate this (in that by and large the quality of a pub will be inversely proportional to its distance from a train station), and then…
