The Albany is a gastro pub by the river hidden away, just down from Hampton Court. I’ve included it as it is good for where it is. Great terrace by the river, ramp access (bit steep) and a decent disabled toilet. Food is OK but it’s the river you go for. The Albany gets 2 BBS Ticks
Back on 4th April I wrote about the fact that many Restaurants quote Listed Building status as a reason not to have disabled access or facilities. Subsequently City of Westminster and English Heritage confirmed this should not be the case as ‘Heritage’ is for everyone and ‘creative solutions’ can be found for everything. So I decided…
I and Lieutenant No.1 went on a wheelchair adventure in Shoreditch and at the end we needed somewhere that I had been told was ‘chair’ friendly – the Zetter Hotel. I had asked previously if I could see the disabled rooms so they were ready for me. I didn’t expect much as I have been…
I and Lieutenant No.4 (I don’t care carer), went to the OXO Tower Brasserie the other Sunday for lunch. We were invited by his sister who was down on a Whiskey Convention – don’t ask!? It was sunny but not warm enough to sit on the terrace even though they are both Glaswegian and used…

The food is very good…
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…
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…
