Wednesday 17th May, 2017 – Riesling Wine Dinner, Roux at Parliament Square It’s marginally easier to get a table at Roux at Parliament Square than it is at parent-restaurant Le Gavroche (which is to say we’ve been to Parliament Square twice now and I’ve only ever managed to get a table at Le Gavroche once,…
Travel 2017 – A Suggested London Itinerary
Three Days in London Let’s assume you have three days to spare in London. Here’s what I’d suggest: Day 1 You could start at Borough Market and maybe have a late breakfast/early lunch there instead of at your hotel. In fact if you set your mind to it you can eat your way into a…
Food 2017 – Eneko, One Aldwych, London
Saturday 26th March, 2017 – The Lobby Bar and Eneko, One Aldwych, London A post-theatre dinner here was on the cards after much enthusiasm in certain press quarters about the food at Eneko, somewhere on the premises of One Aldwych.

Travel 2017 – St. Paul’s and Around, London
Thursday March 16th, 2017 – London It was a glorious day for March in the UK on Thursday and when I came out of the gym after my regular morning swim I decided that rather than walk to work by the most direct route, I’d head down towards the river Thames and walk along till…

Theatre 2016 – The Red Shoes, Sadler’s Wells, London
Saturday, 17th December 2016 – The Red Shoes, Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London Above is a photo of the ceiling in Sadler’s Wells Theatre where we recently saw the latest of Sir Matthew Bourne’s splendid dance creations, “The Red Shoes“.

Food 2016 – Bian Dang, London
Wednesday, December 14th 2016 – Bian Dang, Kerb on the Quay, London A fine dry day, one more week of Kerb on the Quay left, and about to no longer work nearby, I decided that despite the cold, I’d scoot out in pursuit of a final Kerb fix for 2016. I was briefly distracted by…
