I’ve had a busy Easter and am pleased to report that there are two new venues worthy of 3 Blue Badge Style ‘Ticks’ – Murano restaurant in Mayfair and The Zetter Hotel & Town House in Clerkenwell. Also had an exciting time in Shoreditch with Lieutenant No.1 – not a disabled toilet to be found.…
Last Saturday I had to go solo to a comedy gig at The Soho Theatre , Dean St., (don’t worry I did meet Lieutenant No.1 in the bar). I went to see Brett Goldstein in his show ‘Brett Goldstein: Grew Up In A Strip Club’. I missed him last year at The Edinburgh Festival and he has since had great reviews…
No.1 Lieutenant suggested we go to Nopi in Warwick St., Soho, a new restaurant from Yotam Ottolenghi and his team. I have always loved their flour-less lemon drizzle cake from the delicatessen in Notting Hill, so I was looking forward to the visit especially as No.1 was eating meat again. I am usually wary of going to…
I have been meaning to go to The Cinnamon Club restaurant for a number of years. Primarily because it’s one of the few restaurants that have been consistently recommended to me in Victoria, London. It serves modern Indian cuisine and I’ve never been too keen ever since I had a really hot curry in Brick Lane. I arranged to…

I went to the Everyman Cinema at Maida Vale to see A Dangerous Method the other week. The American Lieutenant had said it was accessible and had sofas, wine and pizzas. I arrived and was pleasantly surprised at the modern lift to the first floor, we then realised that the cinema we wanted to go to involved me…
I went to Pollen Street Social for lunch as opposed to my previous visit for dinner. The food was again superb and I must recommend the ‘Spanish Egg’ as it was an interpretation of an English Breakfast. I had a hangover so it was just what I needed but a lot more refined and tasty than a…
45 Park Lane is part of The Dorchester Collection and is just opposite the Dorchester Hotel. I had wanted to investigate for a while and went the other week. Lieutenant No4 was meant to accompany me but cancelled just as I was getting into my taxi( now you know why he’s known as the ‘I…
I have been to The English National Opera many times, each time has been an event and since it was re-furbished it has been very accessible. I have only ever sat in a Stalls Box since being in a wheelchair so I was a little worried when I was told I was going to see…
