Lots Road Pub



lotsroadchelsea.jpg
Hidden away at the bottom of the long and winding Kings Road, there lies Lots Rd- a small street leading down to Chelsea Embankment known to most people for two hot nightclubs, Embargo’s and Crazy Larry’s, a favourite amoungst the eclectic mix of youth. Although, only through somewhat hazy vision. In amongst the old factories that line the river, the random ...

Panettone boxes hang from the ceiling, giving a festive air to the café while a Robert De Niro/Al Pachino photo collage and a mildly violent Taxi Driver poster add a sense of danger to your meal. Fast and friendly ...

Angel of the North



angel-wings-islington-n1-centre.jpg I find that other London travel guides tend to miss out on the really good stuff. They focus on the obvious Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Royal Albert Hall, London Eye, some areas can very easily get missed.

North London is very trendy, thus making it popular with hip young professionals and has all the entertainment ...

The First Risotto Bar in London


As every Italian living abroad my endless quest is to find in every corner of the world a decent Italian restaurant where I can feel at home..

Well, to be honest I've tried it all, from overcooked, sticky pasta to overstuffed pizza, even greasy,   heavy risotto..until I tried out Ooze.

Ooze is the first risotto bar opening in London, and I can say that I didn't quite believe my eyes when ...

Popular with Local London: 21 Sushi Joints


PWLLCeline

Having ranted about the lack of sushi joints in London, I thought it might be good to put together a list of some Japanese restaurants/food establishments that some locals like to frequent. London is renowned for its restaurants, so how else to experience London than to go to the places the locals frequent?

A little slice of Mexico


pic_about.jpg

One of those gripes people always seem to have about London is its lack of truly good Mexican food. I've followed recommendation after recommendation only to be left angry and bitter at the end of the evening.

And then I found Crazy Homies.
It was a pure accident really. Wandering the streets of Westbourne Grove in search of Taqueria - another Mexican, whichI'd been advised to try, ...

National Portrait Gallery - disasterous date but nice cup of tea


Ok, I'll be honest.  That trip to the National Portrait Gallery was with a date.  A friend of a friend of a friend.  A disaster.  I dont know why I agreed to meet - but the thing is, there was so much to look out of the window at, so many people in the cafe to comment on, and then so many pictures to look at below - check out ...

Best view in London - some nice pictures - and a cup of tea thrown in!


Spent the afternoon in the cafe on the top floor of the National Portrait Gallery (not to be confused with the National Gallery  - it is next door, literally round the corner at the bottom of the Charing X Road).    Sat over a cup of tea watching the grey skies over Trafalgar Square.  All the lights ofLondon lie far below - well not all of them but manyof the important ...
