Big Chill House, in King’s Cross, is (for us) the final of the three trendy Big Chill bars. We liked the funky decor and laid back charm of both the original Big Chill Bar in Brick Lane (which got 2.5 BBS Ticks) and the Bristol Big Chill (2 BBS Ticks), so we thought it only made…
Update on Big Chill Sept. 2013 We went and access is via the bins at the side which have to be moved before you can get down the very narrow passage. They also had a bike in the disabled toilet. They were very helpful and it’s definitely an under 30s place but we have to…

The style of the club is intentionally a bit run-down which is exactly how everyone must feel by closing time, which is normally well after sunrise. This is a club for serious,…
The Bell is an old country pub in Waltham St Lawrence, we haven’t been there yet but we managed to find out that there are no steps into the building, which is good. However, there is one step inside that divides the main bar from the lounge which is at the back if the building…
