Paul Smith, WC2E
Window display of the year 
Lizzie G. says:
Paul Smith shops recently won a prize for the best window displays and they are definately worth a look. The shop is great for tourists and Londoners alike with a fantastic selection of jeans and tailoring. The shop is pricey but you have to remember that it is designer, so take a look and dream of what you would buy if you won the lottery. The staff are really helpful as you would expect for the prices you pay and the shop doesn't have that snotty designer sales person hanging around, which is great.

Great Night Out!
Alex W. says:
This place was perfect for a my friends birthdday. A great choice of set menus and all come in a perfect size proportion. There is no need to go anywhere else for the evening as once you've finished eating you can just join in on the dance floor there. It was great music of a massive variety and the dance floor was packed all night. The atmosphere in the whole restaurant was fantastic and after having a lovely meal it was good to get you groove on. A bit expensive but when your staying there for the whole night you definately get your moneys worth. I'll definately be going again.
The Bagel House, N16
Bagel Schmagel 
Lizzie G. says:
The bagels here are made on the premises and are as traditional as they get. Fantastic, friendly staff who deal with many drunk customers are always happy to help. I really like Sonia! I would recommend the egg bagel as the best but even a bag of plain ones will have you dribbling. This is a great take away sandwich shop.
Riverside Inn, CM2
Great carvery, great garden and Pimms on tap
Jessica S. says:
The Riverside Inn's my local and it's great at any time of year. Cosy and friendly during the winter and in the Summer its beer garden on the river comes into its own. There's a nice mix of young, old and families and the staff are always really friendly - especially the owners. I can't speak highly enough of the Sunday carvery - whenever I have friends to stay for the weekend I take them there because it saves me the bother of cooking a roast myself that could never live up to what you get at the pub anyway. And as if that's not enough...they also have Pimms on tap - pure class.
Strada, CM2
Strada - does what it says on the tin 
Jessica S. says:
As Strada's a chain restaurant I already knew what to expect when I went to the one in Chelmsford. You won't get revolutionary or even particularly authentic Italian cuisine but you will get reasonable prices for quite good food. What sets the Chelmsford branch apart from other Stradas I've been to is the seating courtyard at the front of the restaurant - bearing in mind it faces directly onto a busy town centre road they've done really well to make it feel secluded. Not a great place to sit with the current weather of rain/snow/hail (delete as applicable) but come the summer it's a lovely way to eat your panna cotta.
