The Bavarian Beerhouse

The Bavarian Beerhouse in old street has always been a favourite with me and my friends and the addition to the chain in Tower Hill does not appear to be an exception. We are greeted with friendly faces upon arrival and shown through the surprisingly small ground floor bar and restaurant down [...]

The Troxy Nightclub

An incredible nightclub, a little stretch outside of the centre of London for those willing to travel down to Limehouse on the docklands light railway. I attended an event at this nightclub under the guise of the Secret Garden Party brand. The theme of the evening was “under the sea” and approaching the [...]

Aqua Bar and Restaurant

Aqua is one of my favourite London Venues. The entrance is a red curtained hallway, rather inconspicuous on Argyll street near Oxford Circus station. The lifts at the end of the hallway go up to the fifth floor where customers are met with a greeting from several hostesses before being led into [...]

The Faltering Fullback Pub

Having been given precise directions to what my esteemed friend Michael Ginty calls “The best pub in the country” I was amazed to actually walk past the thing. Set back from the main Stroud green road, the Flatering Fullback is nested in a quite lane, with only one or two punters smoking [...]

Library at Lanesborough Hotel

To date this is probably the poshest bar I have ever been to drink inside. The entrance to the venue features a man in a grey top hat and tails and the Bentley’s parked outside appear to be some kind of rudimentary security feature designed to dispel the local riff raff from [...]

Wynn Casino
Simply the most incredible casino in the world. With its rather alien obelisk looking twin towers, the multi billion dollar Wynn casino, dominates the newer part of the Central strip. To enter the casino from the street requires pedestrians to walk through a mall of the wealthy with glamorous displays of fabrics, gold, [...]

Mandarin Oriental Bar

Darting between the casinos and prestigious nightclubs of Knightsbridge we make our way up the stairs of the globally recognised mandarin oriental. Inside the venue feels a little maze like with signposts pointing to various locations like a turn of the century train station. The casino was in the opposite direction to the [...]

Shunt Bar and Club

An infamous bar that shut its doors in 2009 only to reopen in 2010, the same venue but with a new take - an arty, theatrical perspective.
The entrance is a tiny cubby hole in the ever popular London Bridge station, commuters completely surprised to see dozens of people queueing either side of [...]

Fifty London Club

Rumours invariably spell trouble for their supporters and insight into the world of “Fifties” had gone round many tables at which I had sat in venues far away with tales of riches, amazing times and wonderment. Let me just say that these are not rumours but hard-stone truths, Fifties is an amazing place. Let me [...]

The Rockwell Bar

The Rockwell bar at the Trafalgar hotel is a spacious and a beautiful welcome to the guests. Entering literally from the corner of the Trafalgar square until Nelson’s watchful gaze and steps and a heavy modern style set of doors. Inside the polished floors bounce the light around inside the hall-like bar which [...]
