History and coiffage under one roof in St. James's

At around fifteen quid a head and with friendly service it's no wonder that the room was full throughout our stay. Recommended.

Into the top ten of the worst dinners I've ever had. I wanted to be nice but I have to tell it like it is.

Good food al fresco at Percy&Founders, if a little soulless.

'Freshly made cocktails fizzy sour and poured over a colossal goblet full of ice. Already Le Fumoir had become one of my favourite places on earth.'

Another hit in Paris!

Good value Korean around the corner from the BM ... I also recommend their Sunken Cities exhibition.

Good value, hearty Japanese luncheon in a handy location for the BM.

Exemplary service at the NFT. Well, not all examples are good examples are they?

An unusually mixed bag at the usually reliable Getti's - maybe it was an off night.

Pre-Prom not quite spice and a wonder about why it has to be either Kingfisher or Cobra.
