The Ampersand boutique hotel in South Kensington – Review

February 25, 2018 by Adrian York 4 Comments

The Ampersand Boutique Hotel South Kensington

Boutique Hotel in South Kensington – The Ampersand When you visit a city  like London you want to be close to the action – to the culture, the shopping, the restaurants – all the things that make a city’s heart beat… Invited to review The Ampersand, I was aware of the typographically influenced name but no […]

Ceru – A Permanent Home for a Levantine Favourite

March 10, 2017 by Fiona Maclean Leave a Comment

Ceru - Karides

Ceru A Spot of Sunshine in South Kensington Last week was my third visit to Ceru.  Each time, I’ve been to a different location – a pop-up in Fitzrovia, another on Bankside and finally, a permanent location in South Kensington.  It’s a big transition, from pop-up to permanent, somewhere you hope your customers will make […]

North Indian Restaurant in South Kensington – Thali

October 9, 2016 by Fiona Maclean Leave a Comment

thali-snow-crab-cakes

Thali – A hidden gem in South Kensington: South Kensington isn’t somewhere that immediately springs to mind for good Indian food.  In fact, when I lived down the road, in West Brompton, I despaired of finding a good Indian restaurant and instead used to visit Taiwan Village to indulge in hot, spicy Taiwanese dishes.  If […]

Drama and Delights – Afternoon Tea – Ampersand Hotel

Ampersand science Afternoon tea with dry ice

Ampersand Hotel – Science Afternoon Tea I suspect I am nothing more than a big kid at heart.  Revisiting the Ampersand Hotel for afternoon tea recently with friend and Theatre specialist Natalie York, we both looked at the menu – and despite the thirty year gap both decided that we should order the ‘Science Afternoon […]

Blakes Hotel Review

blakes - miso black cod

Blakes Hotel for Lime & Tonic: A blast from the past, Blakes Hotel was for many years on my mother’s unrequited wish-list.  She and my father traveled regularly overseas and usually stayed at a very nice hotel just up the road near Gloucester Road tube station.  But, my mother loved a touch of glamour and […]

Casa Brindisa

Butifara - Casa Brindisa

Casa Brindisa and the Hollywood Costume Exhibition: Although I live in Earls Court I have an appalling record of actually visiting the wonderful museums of South Kensington – actually only a short walk from home for me.   I can walk to the Victoria and Albert, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum.  But, […]

Bumpkin, South Kensingston

November 4, 2012 by Fiona Maclean 9 Comments

bumpkin venison

Bye Bye Belgian Beer, Hello Bumpkin! Once upon a time the site that now houses Bumpkin was a Belgian Beer Bar.  I can remember being dragged there partly for the beer, but more significantly because it’s almost opposite the Ferrari garage in South Kensington.  And, that is, apparently, a really good reason to go there!
