We haven’t visited Cinnamon Kitchen the restaurant or Anise the Bar but if they’re as good as their sister restaurants – Cinnamon Soho and Cinnamon Club they’ll be worth a visit.

We visited London Syon Park when it first opened in 2011. Set in the beautiful grounds of Syon Park, Isleworth – this is a lavishly decorated hotel, that’s easy to access with plenty of disabled facilities, including disabled rooms – although we didn’t see them.

I’ve been to Chelsea Arts Club many times with the Sartorial Lieutenant . You have to be an artist to join – so I don’t qualify. It’s a very old and exclusive club that has exceptional art displayed on its walls and in it’s garden, including a sculpture by Barry Flanagan of one his Leaping Hares.…
