The Punch Room at The Edition Hotel, Berners Street, London by friend of BBS, Ann (this was before she jetted to Cambodia & Vietnam reporting on accessibility via her ‘postcards’, click here to view.): While Fiona raves about the Lobby Bar in The Edition Hotel… I have to put a word in for the Punch…
It’s been a fairly quiet week for me, in terms of reviewing and auditing new venues, as I’ve just been so busy with work. But, ever the multi-tasker, I managed to sneak in a couple of meetings at stylish venues which allowed me to kill two birds with one stone. One of these was a…
