I recently went to Hubbard & Bell – the restaurant at the Hoxton Holborn hotel (sister to original Hoxton hotel, which was one of the most disabled aware venues I have ever visited) which has lived up well to the original version in terms of style and access. The decision to keep the Hoxton hotel name as…
I recently visited an eccentric gastro-pub on Kings Road called The Jam Tree. The bar is pretty trendy but was not the best experience for a wheelchair user such as myself. The pub was a Time Out Love London award winner in 2014 and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. The food good was and not…
The 3 BBS Ticks are the gold standard for style and accessibility. Today we’re giving out 3 Ticks for the following… What to know… Bradley Cooper is currently on cinema screens, starring in the Oscar nominated American Sniper, but it’s also recently been announced that he’ll be crossing the Atlantic this summer to star in a…
Artusi on Bellenden Road in Peckham is one of London’s hottest restaurants and part of Peckham’s increasingly stylish scene. It’s been named the fourth best restaurant in London by Time Out where they called it the “culinary real deal” and praised its “south-of-the-river sophistication”.

Part of Antic collective of pubs, The Balham Bowls Club and Hagen & Hyde are two of the coolest (possibly the two coolest) pubs in the area around Balham. This is an area with a lot of different pubs and a lot of pubs coming and going from the scene, so saying they’re two of the best is…
Wild Honey is a stylish, Michelin starred, Modern European restaurant in Mayfair. It’s the second restaurant that Will Smith and Anthony Demetre, the team behind Arbutus (and also the team later behind Les Deux Salons which we have reviewed), set up together and has been popular since 2007. It was recently reported that Wild Honey is…
