It’s that time of year – I had a birthday! I didn’t know what to do as it was on a Sunday, lunch seemed best. I chose kensington Place as I used to go when I attended a Wine & Spirit Education Trust course around the corner, many years ago. I’ve started to go there again more recently and as…
I used to be a member of Home House but my membership lapsed and I haven’t been back for years. An invitation to return interested me as I hadn’t been since being in a wheelchair. So I and Lieutenant No. 1 went to a debating society event, The Persuaders, to discuss with Diane Abbott MP…
Last week, feeling frugal, I and Lieutenant No.4 (you know ‘The I Don’t Care Carer’), went to The Garrison in Bermondsey St. It’s part of the Riding House Cafe group, see my previous review. Bermondsey St. used to be a hang out in my younger days, when I went to go to the rougher side…

I and Lieutenant No 4, went to Hakkasan in Hanway Place near Tottenham Court Rd after a visit to a networking event in Centre Point. No.4 acted as my legs that night and got the right people to network with me. I had always thought and been told, that Hakkasan would be difficult for me…
I have used 1901 restaurant ever since the renovation of The Great Eastern Hotel by Conran – it was then called Aurora. The building is beautiful with a wonderful glass dome in the ceiling. It was taken over from Conran by The Andaz Group and has lost none of its appeal. The food is consistently…
