The Narrow is Gordon Ramsay’s new gastropub in Limehouse London, overlooking the Thames. The pub style of the place gives The Narrow a laid back atmosphere while the gastro side of things is covered, as you would expect, by brand Ramsay.

Hi again, after a week of downtime due to a server ‘impairment’ (we all have one!) we’re back and running. It had to be the week when I met (read ambushed) Alan Hansen at The London EDITION in Berner’s St., London. I’ll tell you about the hotel first – The EDITION appealed to me as they say…

The four star hotel takes the positive points of the early Victorian villa in which it is found and mixes it with the funky design and the modern notion of disabled access. So…
