The year is 2020 and there are still restaurants that opened in 2008 that I’ve never been to. HELLO Bodega Negra and the Bodega Negra Cafe
I don’t know why I’ve never been before? I’ve always been told that they do incredible margaritas (CONFIRMED) and some beautiful tacos (SPOILER ALERT: They Are)
Eating all the seafood at Sea Containers Restaurant seems like the right thing to do… no?
I’ve always loved the rooftop bar (The 12th Knot) at Sea Containers , I don’t know why I’ve never ventured to the Thames level restaurant before. Maybe because I think that it’s attached to zhuzhy hotel, where I thought the food would be style over substance.
Are you hunting for the perfect hotel for a weekend in London?
A design-led does not feel like it’s a flat pack hotel?
A hotel that won’t break the bank?
A hotel that’s very close to the east end of London?
A hotel that has a brilliant food and beverage offering?
A hotel that makes you feel like a pop-star in training?
If you answered yes to any of those questions… I have found the perfect hotel in London that fits that bill. Say hello to Mama Shelter London. Mama Shelter is a collection of lively, unique and quirky places to rest your head, fill your bellies and wet your whistels around the globe (Think Los Angeles, Paris, Rio, Prague and Now London to name a few)
The group already boasts 1813 rooms, 13 restaurants and 1170 employees in 12 cities and 7 countries.
Whenever anyone suggests having drinks and nibbles at @TheSavoyHotel my mind automatically assumes that it’s at the Iconic American Bar. Little did I know about the Beaufort Bar at The Savoy Hotel. The bar is a black and gold art deco oasis.
The Beaufort Bar is tucked away off of the Thames Foyer at the Savoy. The Beaufort Bar at The Savoy Hotel opens its magnificent doors at 5pm. The Beaufort bar itself stands on the hotel’s former cabaret stage. It goes without saying when you enter there is a real sense of theatre, magic and Drama with a capital ‘D’. ⠀
I love a good breakfast… and breakfast at Fortnum’s at the Royal Exchange is bloody good. I’ve had a long love affair with F&M… When I first moved to the UK I had a Sunday ritual to buy little bits for my cupboards like jams, biscuits, and chutneys. The thought process behind that was if it’s fit for the queen, it’s good enough for me.⠀
