Resonable Pizza Restaurant 
This is a large split level restaurant mainly based at basement level. Its decorated in a contemporary style. Seating downstairs has almost taken on the wagamama ethos where you are sat very close to other dinners on one long padded seat, however unlike wagamama the tables are separate. The only food on offer is pizza (and salads) however you'd be hard pushed to find a restaurant with a larger selection! Within the menu the pizzas are sectioned off into areas of the world that inspired them leading to a wide variety of choice. Prices are reasonable for the Covent Garden area with some good deals available. The pizzas were of a high quality and service was efficient and friendly.

Review of Bar Selon

Small Cosy Hampstead Bar
This is a cosy small bar in West Hampstead. It has a Mediterranean feel and is quite different to most bars in the surrounding area. It always seems to have a steady stream of customers but is never overly crowded. There are a couple of screens showing sports but it doesn't attract the rowdy sports crowds. The main larger on tap is Budweiser Budwar plus there is a large selection of bottled beers and lagers as well as a range of wines. The staff are friendly and the service quick. The prices aren't particularly cheap however it's worth the premium for the relaxing atmosphere. There is also a small light meal menu too.

Review of The Railway

Average West Hampstead Pub
This is a fairly average pub serving the usual array of beers, wines and spirits as well as pub food. The food is nothing special however it is acceptable for the price and there is quite a large menu too. Beer prices are good especially compared the nearby pubs and although the clientèle can be a bit rough, there never seems to be any trouble. The staff are always friendly and helpful and I've found them to be very efficient even during busy periods - which means there's never too long a wait at the bar.

Review of Allsop Arms
14 May 07, 18:05
Average pub. Good for food and television
There's been a few times that I've popped into the Allsop Arms, and whilst the experiences were memorable, it was more due to World Cup football or test Cricket than due to the pub. As far as pubs go, this place is relatively average. You can always rely on tolerable beer and good food, but it's one majorly redeeming feature is the big screens. Often packed for sporting occasions by "suits", you can always rely on a good enough experience in this pub. Just don't bother when it's quiet. An average pub, which improves when packed with customers.

Review of Bierodrome

Better than most weatherspoons
Theres quite a few bierodromes in london. This one on Clapham High Street is a good one but not the best I've been too. Beirodromes are just a higher quality weatherspoons and what makes a good one stand out from the rest of the chain establishments is if the place has any character. This one doesnt really have anything different about it but I know the yound trendy crowd of clapham like it so if you want to go to a reliable bar on a night out, go here.

Review of The Borderline

Friday Nights Alright
This is a rather small subterranean club located off Tottenham court road and specializing in indie music. There is a split level dance floor, the higher part being used as the stage for live acts. There are a great range of smaller up and coming bands who play there regularly and it has in the past been host to such well known names as oasis, blur and the libertines. The Friday Indie night , The Queen is Dead - is one of the best on the London Indie scene with great indie /pop/rock tunes all night. On the downside however the bar is fairly small and prices are far from cheap compared to it's competition!

Review of The Green

One visit, but an acceptable location
There's something quite comfortable and incredibly surreal about walking into a pub and seeing a couple huddled up on a leather chair infront of a fire. The Green is filled with nice little moments like this. A quality looking restaurant in the back (with some magnificant, albeit expensive, food), some decent lagers (although like everywhere else I visited in the area, no decent ales) and a magnificant location opposite the tube. The Green has a lot to offer. It might be pretentious, but so many places are nowadays, and with a feeling of relaxation and comfort, I'll definately be returning for another visit.
