As I mentioned last week I was looking forward to going to the theatre and seeing The Book of Mormon with Lieutenant No.2. The Independent said it’s a “wilfully offensive, sharply funny musical”, from the creators of South Park, (Trey Parker and Matt Stone). I’d heard about it when it was on Broadway and won 9 Tony Awards and unusually…
“The Light House opened in 1999 to great critical acclaim and has gone from strength to strength ever since. Now well established as a friendly, neighbourhood restaurant.” Apparently they also “change menus daily and use the freshest seasonal ingredients.” This restaurant has great disabled access, there are no steps into or throughout the restaurant and…
Les Trois Garcons might do great food and look good too, but they have terrible disabled access. We haven’t audited it but when we called they told us there was no disabled toilet, one step in and no room within the restaurant for a wheelchair… Les Trois Garcons get 1.5 BBS Ticks
I was told about Libertine (in Winsley St. just off Oxford St.) a while ago as it’s one of London’s ‘Hot’ clubs plus it’s accessible with a disabled toilet – unique for a London nightclub. Access is via a lift to all areas of which there are 4: The ‘speakeasy’ style cocktail bar – Reason &…

As promised here is the full story of my visit to see Nick Lowe at The Leicester Square Theatre. Nick Lowe was my neighbour for a number of years, he would often play his music at full blast to make sure it sounded good in the listening environment of his fans i.e. at home!! So…
The Good Food Guide has announced it’s Readers’ Top Restaurants for 2014 and we thought we’d check on their disabled credentials with varying results. We agree with Delifonseca as the overall winner but some of the others have room to improve re Blue Badge Style & our exacting standards (I guess we ask for too…
This weekend The Ledbury was named the UK’s favourite restaurant in a vote in the Observer Food Monthly supplement. It’s by no means the first accolade for this 2 Michelin Star modern French restaurant in Notting Hill, helmed by the well known Australian chef Brett Graham. As well as the latest honour in the OFM awards, the Ledbury is…
I have been to Le Vacherin in Chiswick. They are very hospitable and I once spent a notorious New Years Eve here. It is an extremely good French restaurant – it’s named after the French dish of melted cheesed with truffles in it! One of the reviews on the restaurant said “A great bistro simple, assured…
