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…
Baltic is the London restaurant to head to if you’re keen to sample Polish and central European food. In their spacious and contemporary Southwark restaurant, Jan Woroniecki’s team cook up a variety of Baltic dishes from buckwheat blinis to rabbit braised in a fragrant broth. The restaurant is a long lasting London favourite and was…

It’s an original and interesting space full of natural light, flora, plant pot lampshades, tree trunks, outdoor furniture and even a bee hive inspired bar. The Folly’s website describes the bar as a…

This huge former garment factory now houses a three-screen cinema; exhibition and event spaces, café and bar. It’s an independent arts venue in an industrial sized building.
