We haven’t audited Caravan yet but when we called the Exmouth Market restaurant they said they were only small and didn’t have a disabled toilet but they did have a portable ramp to help you up the step to get in. However their new branch opening in King’s Cross seems to be more accessible they…
Carvosso’s in Chiswick is a popular venue for Chiswick residents, the bar is always buzzing and the food is OK too. There are steps at the front of the building but there is level access through a side door and there’s also a disabled toilet. There’s plenty of room in the restaurant for a wheelchair…
I’ve been to Chelsea Arts Club many times with the Sartorial Lieutenant . You have to be an artist to join – so I don’t qualify. It’s a very old and exclusive club that has exceptional art displayed on its walls and in it’s garden, including a sculpture by Barry Flanagan of one his Leaping Hares.…
Polpo , the three Venetian style ‘humble’ restaurants we reviewed earlier, have been in touch and told us the following, which we have used to revise our provisional BBS Tick awards: Covent Garden Polpo – disabled toilet and good access 2.0 BBS Ticks. Soho Polpo – good access but no disabled toilet 1.5 BBS Ticks.…

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. The Cocktail Bar (Upstairs at Rules) is meant to be one of the best bars in London, hence the reason for…
I and the Sartorial Lieutenant went to the Savoy Grill (a Gordon Ramsay joint) just after the refurbishment of the Savoy Hotel in 2011. It was fine for the wheelchair as it’s flat and at ground level. It was good food and service but as the other tables were rather too close, I found our neighbours…
