Blue Monday may have come and gone but many of us are feeling its after effects. If you’ve been spending your January looking out the window, at the cold and rain, dreaming of a better place, then it’s probably time to start planning your holidays for the year and bring some positivity back. Now, having…
Lieutenant No 2 has insisted I give SAID in Soho a mention and having tasted their chocolate with Himalayan Salt, I can only agree to his request. This new branch of a Rome chocolate shop (SAID est c.1920) is in Broadwick St., Soho. The hot chocolate is displayed in little cauldrons behind the glass counter…
If you’re someone who doesn’t go to the cinema too much but, after yesterday’s nominations, are looking for a nice cinema to watch an Oscar contender in, then we’d strongly advise going to an independent cinema.

Unlike other casual dining experiences they take bookings and you don’t queue. There are…
Grain Store Restaurant, mentioned in this article, has been visited and access and disabled toilet are fantastic as is the food.

They get a fully audited max 3 BBS Ticks, excellent. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… For many people who made it a…

This included a visit to Berners Tavern, (part of Edition Hotel previously reviewed here), a visit to The Vaudeville Theatre to see The Duck House and a visit to The Opera Tavern in Covent Garden. All enjoyable in their different ways and…
