409 Clapham Road, Clapham, London, SW9 9BT
“Four O Nine was recently awarded the 2010 Hidden Gem Award (presented at Taste London, Best in Taste Awards) and it’s easy to see why. Glancing at the address, I feel pretty stupid realising the name and...”

Northbank (Bar / Restaurant)
Millennium Bridge, 1 Paul's Walk, City of London, London, EC4V 3QQ

All Star Lanes (Bar / Restaurant)
Whiteleys, 6 Porchester Gardens, Bayswater, London, W2 4DB
“If I’m honest, bowling, for me, has always conjured up horrible images of lukewarm hot dogs, fluorescent coloured ‘slush puppies’ and malfunctioning scoreboards. Of an evening, my local bowling alley...”

Waxy O'Connor's (Bar)
14-16 Rupert Street, Piccadilly Circus, London, W1V 7FN
“There’d be no occasion to ever get your snozzle in a tozzle at Waxy’s; the staff are far too astute for that and from my first moment I knew that service here has no space for squeaky wheels. It’s about...”

4 Topsfield Parade, Middle Lane, Crouch End, London, N8 8PR

Leather Bottle (Bar / Restaurant)
538 Garratt Lane, Earlsfield, London, SW17 0NY
“The same magic involved in The Tardis or Mary Poppins’ bag is at work at The Leather Bottle; it appears smaller from the outside than it does from the inside. I walked in to realise, to my happy surprise,...”

216 Upper Richmond Road West, East Sheen, London, SW14 8AH

The Idle Hour (Bar / Restaurant)
171 Greyhound Road, Barons Court, Barons Court, London, W6 8NL

The Lonsdale (Bar / Restaurant)
48 Lonsdale Road, Notting Hill, London, W11 2DE
“‘Cool’ is a word that is applied to the latest hotspots by many a tired critic, as liberally as cuts to national resources in a Tory/ Lib Dem coalition. The thing is, though, you can’t really write...”
Alix O'Neill, Fluid London reviewer 12 Jul 10

The Westminster (Bar)
75 Page Street, Pimlico, Westminster, London, SW1P 4LT
“On a humid, sticky night, drinkers sprawl outside of The Westminster. The summer has finally dawned upon us. It’s going down rather well with the clientele. As I entered with guest in tow, we noted...”

The Underdog (Bar)
16a Clapham Common South Side, Clapham, London, SW4 7AB

City Café at City Inn Westminster (Bar / Restaurant / Hotel)
30 John Islip Street, Westminster, London, SW1P 4DD

Le Café Du Marché (Bar / Restaurant)
22 Charterhouse Square, Farringdon, Clerkenwell, London, EC1M 6AH

The Red Fort (Bar / Restaurant)
77 Dean Street, Soho, London, W1D 3SH

Boaters Inn (Bar)
Canbury Gardens, Lower Ham Road, Kingston-upon-Thames, London, KT2 5AX
