The Sports bar in the South Terminal of Gatwick Airport displays various signs of indication that its location is in some point in elevation above the rest of the departure lounge and indeed it is positioned in the crows nest of the airport. One must climb a sharp set of metal stairs in order […]

A whole corner of this departure lounge-come-mall, seems to have set aside for this wine bar. It has an open front looking out into the duty free shopping area and inside it boasts a large bar set back from the entrance among fake plastic pillars and Romanesque design throughout.

O Neills

I am normally quite the fan of this particular chain of bars/pubs and this one felt much like the others with big polished wooden tables and floors. This venue however had a long rounded bar which trailed off into the secluded dark ended corners of the pub. The bar staff were not friendly but […]
