Nordic Bakery and Bar
A rather strange scandinavian venue sits on golden square in london sandwiched between the trendiness of soho and the toft qualities of the piccadilly. Behind the thick wooden door is a cafe, wine and beer bar,meeting point or whatever you want to call it. Essentially a large centre table surrounded by smaller wooden [...]

Bbar Bar and Restaurant
Sitting on what can only be described as a nightmare junction for pedestrians is Bbar. From outside Bbar looks like a small but comfortable and cosy dining room. However it is secretly a very nice bar to behold. Head inside and you will be led down some steps into a darker but [...]

The Glass House Stores Pub
From outside this Samuel Smith’s pub looks very much like a 300 year old shop front, frosted glass and aged oak. Within is a very narrow passageway which quite unaccessibley runs past the bar. Down at the back of the pub is seating of which there is rarely any available. After [...]

The Kings Head Pub
Often have I walked past this staple in the diet of the islington drinker but waited some 5 years before going inside. I remember a time when one would pay to enter this pub due to its popularity but in hard economic times the entry in now free. Within is a well lit pub [...]

Wax Jambu Bar
A dark bar filled with people, shoulder to shoulder. Filling every tiny table, sitting on couches and in tiny booths looked packed as sardines are the occupants,only revealed once you enter through the glass doors past bouncers and bag checkers. The wait for drinks is very slow, at a bar that sits at the [...]

Silver Bonito Bar
Sold as a romantic champagne cruise around the Thames this is nothing more than a sightseeing tour. The romantic music from the brochure is replaced with the camp gab of some misled tour guide. Five minutes into the cruise and i head down to the champagne bar. Hardly a bar could it be called [...]

The Kings Head Pub
During the week this classy back street pub in Mayfair is as empty as can be expected, yet after work and at the weekend it sees it’s fair share of traffic. It’s always good for an after work drink according to my friends who live and work just by the King’s Head. I [...]

All Bar One
Being so very close to the London eye, one would assume this bar would be more flooded with tourists but as luck would have it, it isn’t. Instead, a busy but not overcrowded bar with your typical all-bar-one good selection of drinks, wines and spirits. Food is also available and quite popular, possibly [...]

The Tottenham Pub
The first thing to note about the tottenham is its location. Just outside tottenham court road station the place lives it life like a rock in a river, among the ebb and flow of theatre goers. Spending around 45minutes in here at a time this clientele brings about the pubs true character. Short [...]

The Mayfair Club
New club nights come and go in the venues of central London but a universal truth is that launch night of a new club is the true test of any venue. Mayfair club just opposite the Ritz by green park station is an expensive entry underground club. Ropes and bouncers stand outside alongside [...]
