Update - 10/25/2009

After a long and rather unpleasant overnight flight across the pond with a hefty Cypriot's arm constantly taking up share in MY seat all I wanted was a little room of my own (okay, and also a shower to wash off the stink.) I arrived at the Hoxton…More »

Category: Portuguese

Neighbourhood: Liverpool Street / Broadgate

7/12/2009

Upon entering Eyre Brothers my eyes immediately settled upon the Jamónero cutting thin slices off a huge pig leg at a nearby table. A moment later, my dining companion and I were greeted by the host who asked, "Would you like some jamon and sherry?"…More »

3. Albion

2-4 Boundary Street
London E2 7DD
020 7729 1051

Categories: British, Bakeries

Neighbourhood: Shoreditch

5/25/2009

British food gets a bad rap. However, I'm sure if the naysayers were treated to lunch at Albion they'd change their doubting minds. Especially if they feasted on the beef dripping chips, cauliflower cheese and kedgeree at this charming Shoreditch…More »

Category: Hotels

Neighbourhood: Shoreditch

5/16/2009 First to Review

This hotel's not exactly a charmer but it served as a better than suitable base for a night in London. The staff didn't blink an eye when I turned up hours before check in and gave me a room straight away. There isn't wifi but they do have free wired…More »

Three words: The Full Monty.

The Full Monty is the best full English breakfast I've had in London as yet. Only the heartiest of eaters…More »

Categories: Modern European, Hotels

Neighbourhood: Shoreditch

8/16/2010

After nearly two weeks on the road, I needed a vacation. At home, in London.

Seeing as how it was an unseasonably sunny day in Shoreditch, the Boundary rooftop seemed a sweet site to settle in. I took the lift up, snagged a sofa and ordered gazpacho,…More »

Neighbourhood: Hoxton

3/16/2011

What's not to like about a bar that encourages you to step through a wardrobe door to claim your cocktails? A couple of bits, but first let's talk about the drinks.

My honey spun silk - Four Roses small batch bourbon, Averna, condensed milk, honey and…More »

Category: Shopping Centres

Neighbourhood: Shoreditch

1/23/2012

Retail revolution? Hardly.

This "pop up mall" appears to have good intentions (then again, they could just be attempting to capitalise on the "green-ness" of the shipping container trend) but whomever was in charge of attracting retailers and…More »

In Pizza East I've found my go to Sunday brunch spot in London, a conclusion I arrived at after noshing here two Sundays in a row.

Their pizzas are thin crust with a thick doughy edge - not consistent with an Italian style - but tasty to be sure. And…More »
