Asia De Cuba at st. Martin’s Lane hotel is a great night out. I’ve been there many times and the food but especially the drinks are great.

Back on 4th April I wrote about the fact that many Restaurants quote Listed Building status as a reason not to have disabled access or facilities. Subsequently City of Westminster and English Heritage confirmed this should not be the case as ‘Heritage’ is for everyone and ‘creative solutions’ can be found for everything. So I decided…
When I and Lieutenant No.2 went to the Design Museum we had lunch ‘on site’ at the Blue Print Cafe. Its not the most inspiring decor but the view of the Thames is brilliant. In fact there was a double rainbow over the banks! Access and facilities are good and the food was ok but…
