We’ve had a number of places on our ‘one’s to watch’ list. Most have had outstanding independent reviews and we thought we’d tell you about them all at once ……..and they’re not all in London! Oriole Bar is however, in London and has been named as one of the world’s best bars. They also got a…
Reviews are coming in thick & fast this week and these are both located in re-generated areas of London and Cambridge, where we hope accessibility has been thought of?? We’ll be the judge of that…..
