Recent Fluid reviews for bars & restaurants in London
The Stonhouse, Clapham (Bar / Restaurant)
“This is one of the closest gastropubs to my house in lovely Clapham Old Town and is one of the most talked-about by Claphamites, whether Northern, Southern or just a bit Common.
It sits away from the...”

Locale, Waterloo (Bar / Restaurant)
“Please see below a template for a bog-standard review of a bog-standard Italian restaurant in London:
“Just moments from [insert local tube station], this clean, smart and stylish Italian eatery is...”

OXO Tower Restaurant, South Bank & Bankside (Restaurant)
“As I walked round the imposing concrete towers on the banks of the River Thames, to be greeted by two huge bouncers guarding the lift doors, it felt more like stepping into some gritty London gangster...”

O'Neill's, Kings Cross (Bar)
“‘This place is rife with bag and purse thieves,’ warns Google as I search for directions to O’Neill’s on Euston Road. Taking that into account as well as the charms of the surrounding area: Kings Cross...”

Locale, Fulham (Bar / Restaurant)
“When it comes to finding Locale, some might say it is tucked away, while the more sceptical would opt for hidden. Whichever you go for, it’s definitely the kind of location that benefits from a handy map...”

Bel Canto, Paddington (Restaurant)
“During the working week, there are often moments when the fug of an exceedingly bad day plays heavily upon each and every one of us, yapping at our heals like a persistent charity mugger. This grumpy head...”

Costa Dorada- Spanish Bar & Restaurant, Soho (Bar / Restaurant / Club)
“Costa Dorada: otherwise known as Daurada in Catalan or ‘golden coast’ in English. Covering 216km of beaches, fishing villages and enough Spanish holiday resorts to guarantee milk bottle white legs will...”

The Silver Sturgeon, City of London (Bar / Restaurant)
“The loud, young Americans stood to left on the escalator: you’re great. The chancer pigeon striding among the many feet of Embankment station just to peck a grain of dirt: we love you. The grey-on-grey,...”

Banyan On The Thames, Battersea (Restaurant / Hotel)
“A hotel restaurant invariably has to try twice as hard as a regular restaurant. The negative associations they conjure up don’t exactly scream ‘atmospheric destination dining’: soulless room dotted with...”

The Draft House Northcote, Clapham (Bar / Restaurant)
“Remember a time when this was all just fields? In those sepia-tinged days this plot of land belonged to the Pitcher & Piano clan, of whom the people of Northcote were frightened due to the clarion revelry...”

Carluccio's, Angel & Islington (Restaurant)
“Emma and Charles Darwin, the Queen and Prince Philip, Richard and Judy, George and Jane Jetson, even Barbie and Ken... all marriages of longevity and unquestionable compatibility. And I’m ‘proposing’ that...”

Graphic, Soho (Bar)
“I’ve never been sure what kind of person goes out in Central London on a Friday night and hopes for a quiet night out but that person should not go to Graphic. If however, you like smacking good cocktails...”

The Hand & Flower, Fulham (Bar)
“It's my opinion that gastropubs are McDonalds for the middle classes. Why? Because every single one looks exactly the same as all the others. Where McDonalds trades in lurid primary colours, your average...”

Hush, Mayfair (Bar / Restaurant)
“Tourists in London are often given lots of advice on how to get the best out the fair city; buy on oyster card; take a tour bus; boat down the river Thames. The truth of the matter is that no-one will...”
Paul Wells, Fluid London reviewer

The Tommyfield, Vauxhall & Oval (Bar / Restaurant)
“It seems you can have too much of a good thing. Recently, it’s become fashionable to imply that the gastropub has somehow destroyed the Proper Pub, to suggest that this poster boy for gentrification has...”
Ben Brill, Fluid London reviewer

Azou Restaurant, Hammersmith (Restaurant)
“There’s something indisputably appealing about its classic Moroccan décor that makes Azou such a warm and authentic place to eat. The rich colours and clean lines which epitomise this now-popular North...”

The Winchester, Angel & Islington (Bar / Restaurant / Club)
“After battling my way through the harsher elements of a chilly and sleet filled February evening to get to north side of town, I was relieved to step into this cosy and relaxed restaurant-cum-pub, and...”
