The iconic Hippodrome has been refurbished and re-opened and is now ‘once again the city’s foremost entertainment venue’….’three floors of gambling, five bars, a dedicated poker floor, an intimate cabaret theatre and the high energy Heliot restaurant and lounge’. Heliot restaurant overlooks the main gaming floor & has ‘energy and glamour’ but the menu looks not so…
The Hand & Flowers is an award winning pub/restaurant in Marlow. We haven’t audited The Hand & Flowers but we rang up the Michelin Star restaurant to find out there is no disabled toilet but you can use the pub down the road! There are a couple of steps into the restaurant and no portable ramp!…
I’ve been going here for many years and the Fifth Floor restaurant never disappoints. Sometimes the bar does but thats usually down to the far too flash/ bling clientele. The food in both is excellent . Access is via a lift from the ground floor and there is a disabled toilet just off the bar.…
Embassy Mayfair hasn’t been audited and won’t be as they have no disabled toilet because it’s a ‘managed building’!! Why is that an excuse? It’s on a ground floor so partially accessible as it’s on 2 levels. Looks good though, it’s a bar and brasserie and there’s also a nightclub called the Salon . It serves modern Mediterranean cuisine all…
Dabbous is the latest ‘hot’ venue in town so it’s difficult to get a reservation for lunch or dinner, Jay Rayner said “It’s worth a look. And that, friends, is what we call an outrageous understatement.” I tried but they’re fully booked to 2013, so no audit until then!!?? Ollie Dabbous trained with Raymond Blanc at Le…

All the streets in the main city area are cobbled and the road system of cars/buses/trams/motorbikes/scooters/bikes is bewildering. They come at you from all directions! It doesn’t help that when you decide to place yourself in a restaurant away from the chaos…
Gaucho is a steak restaurant which according to View London “serves up prime Argentinean beef in a funky, romantic surrounding” Relax and enjoy ‘al fresco’ dining by the Thames in Richmond with views of Richmond Bridge and the river. There’s excellent access to the restaurant, with a big disabled toilet and the food was great…
Update Dec 2012: Went to The Delaunay had a great time – there is no step in, it’s a smooth ramp and the doorman will also help. Very friendly and welcoming, lots of people, it’s in the middle of ‘theatreland’ on the corner of Drury Lane & Aldwych, and can be noisy but it adds…
I’m a long time visitor of Coq D’Argent and it’s totally accessible! There’s a lift up to the rooftop restaurant, it’s all on one level and there’s space to move around although it can be cramped at times. There’s also a fully accessible disabled toilet. The roof terrace is beautiful and many lunch-times/afternoons have been spent…
