The Undercroft Bar

For such a wonderful station, glorified, almost modern Gothic, one would think that the bar situated int he departure lounge would be world class, perhaps with subtle similarities with the champagne bar upstairs? You would indeed be wrong. The undercroft bar, much like its dull choice of name is a modern, expensive, uncomfortable [...]

G.A.Y Bar

A very popular bar in the heart of London’s Soho but of course the flagship for the gay life and quite the culture shock for those who would normally drink in their local. GAY has strict door policies and members of our group fake being gay by standing hand in hand to ensure entry. [...]

The Taps Bar

Hidden away, left at the intersection in the middle of enfield town is the Taps pub, an over 25’s drinking establishment which resembles an old pub except that the building is sandwiched among other less desirable shops.

Well why did no one tell me about this place before? This bar restaurant combination is how an American Diner should be done out, there are booths, cheesy American music, big cocktails and best of all, proper fat American food. Burgers chips, milkshakes, hot dogs, the works. And yet the prices [...]

Freud’s Cafe Bar Gallery

Freud’s Bar is a basement venue along the end of Shaftesbury Avenue. It is not immediately obvious that it is a bar until you descend the metal staircase out front and make your way down the bar. On the left as the toilets, a large and dirty, smelly room with odd shaped [...]

The Wheatsheaf Pub

In its hey-day this pub looked fabulous from the outside, wisps of Ivy bloomed all over it upon Windmill hill and it was the entry pub to the town of Enfield. There are even now beer garden tables to drink by this busy road but the Ivy has since died back the pub [...]

The Parish Pub

Within walking distance of the glorious Wembley stadium sits this timid looking Irish pub. There are frequent signs about the toilets for customer use and just inside the door is a small number of the tables with a compact bar to the right. The bar is serviced by a stern looking middle aged [...]
