These bars were recommended to me by Lieutenant no. 2 – The Lost Angel, Citizen Smith and Lost Society. They all look like a cross between a Victorian pub and somewhere Mumford & Sons would visit. They say they have “Illicit Dining and Forbidden Beverages”. We haven’t checked out these bars/restaurants but did call them all…

I went to The Roof Gardens nightclub many years ago. It is now a club and restaurant owned by The Virgin empire. The restaurant is Babylon with a rooftop garden overlooking Kensington High st. Great location and view. We send venues a simple form to fill in regarding access and facilities prior to a visit…
Rules restaurant in Covent Garden serves “classic game cookery, oysters, pies and puddings”. It’s on the ground floor which they say is accessible. I went years ago and I remember the food was good.
