Bisoux is a late night bar in Esher. A very simple and stylish bar, convenient if you live nearby but not sure it’s worth a long journey, especially since the disabled access isn’t great. There is limited seating probably worth booking a table if you go along and if you’re in a wheelchair probably worth…
I went to Zuma for the first time since being wheelchair enabled. Previously I had been on my crutches. It’s quite expensive Japanese food but excellent, especially the beef from the ‘tasting menu’. The place is buzzing as a trendy place to be seen in, in Knightsbridge. No one bothers too much that you’re in…
Update Feb 2013: Bank in Birmingham is fully accessible and has a disabled toilet. Looks good but haven’t been yet. They get 2.5 Provisional BBS Ticks. Zinc in Manchester has access via a back entrance, a disabled toilet and bar are on the ground floor. There are 7 steps between the restaurant and bar/toilet so…
I and Lieutenant No.1 went on a wheelchair adventure in Shoreditch and at the end we needed somewhere that I had been told was ‘chair’ friendly – the Zetter Hotel. I had asked previously if I could see the disabled rooms so they were ready for me. I didn’t expect much as I have been…

The open air museum in Wakefield was described by the judges as “a truly outstanding museum with a bold artistic vision” and picked up a £100,000 Art Fund prize. The museum has been open since 1977…
Yashin Sushi is a very classy sushi restaurant in Kensington. It has a very good reputation and was included in Time Out’s list of the best 5o restaurants in London. There they said that “a meal at Yashin may not be cheap, but it’s an experience not to be missed.” On one of the restaurant’s walls,…
Summer’s finally arrived and of course holidays are paramount in everyone’s mind. Mine started with a trip to Berlin & Prague. First was – Berlin – we did a previous review of Berlin, EU Access City 2013 (including where to stay) and now I can give you a first hand report. (BTW we’re doing a series…
I and the American Lieutenant No.5, with his girlfriend, went to the York & Albany near Regents Park. I looked forward to it as it was a Gordon Ramsay establishment. On their website it said ‘disabled accessible’ and I rang to check on the toilet situation, all OK. I arrived and straight away went to…
