Vegan Cocktails and Food at The Perception, W London Despite the drizzly evening in London, I was looking forward to trying some new vegan cocktails and food at The Perception, the restaurant at W London. It has been a while since I walked through Leicester Square but it’s still buzzing with all kinds of street […]

Reef, Beef and Bubbles at The Refinery Regent’s Place
The Refinery Regent’s Place: I’m not overly familiar with Warren Street or the surrounding area but last Saturday found myself in that vicinity on a visit to The Refinery at Regent’s Place. A very modern bar and restaurant, which also benefits from a large outdoor seating area, the Refinery is a bit of an oasis […]
Feasting at Balans Soho Society
Late Night Dining at Balans Soho Society: Balans Soho Society is a Soho institution, an iconic 3am hotspot and the setting for many a crazy night out, so when I heard they’d had a ‘brief breather and ravishing revamp’, I was eager to check it out. The gentrification of Soho is growing concern for many, […]

There’s more to Brick Lane than Beigels and Bangladeshi Curries
Review of Exit Bar: As a native South Londoner, the East End hasn’t been my ‘stomping ground’ much. In my teenage years I used to enjoy going to Petticoat Lane on a Sunday in search of a bargain; it used to be the centre of the ‘Rag Trade’ and designer seconds and copies were always […]
Old Tom & English – Retro Comfort and Charm
Discrete Drinking and Dining at Old Tom & English: The entrance to Old Tom & English is a smart black door with a prominent shiny brass doorbell. At the top end of Wardour Street, you’d never know it was there. And that, I suspect is part of the idea. People who come here (and you […]
Jumeirah Carlton Tower – Cocktails in the Rib Room Bar
Post Christmas Cocktails, Rib Room Bar, Jumeirah Carlton Tower: That time of year after all the Christmas celebrations are over can be just a bit bland. You know – from a diary full of fun it’s all too easy to end up staying in, detoxing and trying your best to cut the calories and the […]
Revolution – Clapham Junction
Bar Review – Revolution, Clapham Junction. Guest Feature by Natalie York: Throughout my student days I was always aware of Revolution as a decent place to go, try lots of flavoured vodkas and get pleasingly smashed.
