Review of Dansk Flowers
01 May 08, 08:31
Very expensive but beautiful 
I really reccomend this flower shop in the Wansworth Bridge Road.
You can select from their really unusual range and create your own bunch, or they have ready made ones.
The girls in there are really helpful and if you don't really know what you are looking for they can put something really beautiful together for you.
They also have pre-made pots with crocuses or hyacinths and things too.
Only draw back, be prepared to to make a big hole in you're wallet.

Review of Oasis Karting Project
01 May 08, 08:26
So much fun 
Warning, do not go Karting with your boyfriend if you are a nifty driver and he's a sore loser......
This is a great day out, you can hire the track out for an evening with a bunch of mates and lay the gauntlet down.
You get provided with a quick saftey run through (which gets ignored the minute you're on the track) and are provided with all the gear.
It's a great evening out, and this course in particular has some hilarious corners that if timed wrong leave you in a pile of tyers with a nice dose of whiplash! Well worth it though.

Review of Embargo
19 Apr 08, 12:18
Shocking shocking shocking 
The problem with this part of London is that there are no decent places for after hours drinking. Embargo is a complete dingy dive.
It plays pretty appauling music, it's obviously over priced and they stamp you with ink that takes about 4 washes to come off - so everyone knows you've paid it a guilty visit.
I'd avoid it like the plague.

Review of Megans
19 Apr 08, 12:16
Yummy hangover food
This is the place that saves my life every Saturday morning after a big night out.
The menu has something for everyone, delicious home cooked food using the best ingredients from small producers - food with heart.
It's got a great atmosphere too, nice people working there and they do a damn fine coffee too.
Enjoy but don't go on a Saturday, I'd be gutted if I didn't get my cosy corner table.

Review of Ad Hoc Boy

Punky, slutty fun! 
This is a great shop with really fun jewelry, punky clothing, accessories, and bits and bobs.
Diana the owner is a bit of a nutter, and the shop very much reflects her personality.
If you want something dangerously tarty for a fancy dress party you will find it here. They do have the odd nice top or skirt too.
Definitely worth a look.

Review of Il Pagliaccio
19 Apr 08, 11:43
Stick to the menu
This is a proper piss up joint. If it's someone's birthday, it's a great venue. If it's a girl let the staff know in advance and they'll arrange a very rude pudding for the birthday girl.
I think the food is ok, it's not expensive, only thing I would say however is if you are a large group don't ask for the set menu because it's generally pretty disgusting, if you order from the main menu it is fine.

Review of Fishworks Seafood Cafe
19 Apr 08, 11:40
Something fishy going on here
I haven't actually eaten here, but I've bought fish from them.
I can't dispute the quality or freshness, because it was certainly there. I do however think they are joking with the prices. I nearly fell over the first time I bought from them.
But then I guess you have the toss up, if you want a really beautiful piece of fish, you're going to have to pay for it.
I've never heard anything bad about the restaurant, except the occasional remark about the price!

Review of Majestic Wine Warehouse
19 Apr 08, 11:36
Great offers
If you're having a do it's well worth paying Majestic a visit. You can only buy by the case, but they have really good offers.
If you go on a Saturday they have tastings too.
If you buy in bulk they have further reductions - if you're looking to do a big spend, I'd definitely check it out.

Review of Friarwood

Speciality Wine Shop
If you don't know much about wine and you want to buy a good bottle for someone who does, then this is the place to go.
The owner is a master of wine, and obviously knows his stuff. Be aware that you'd be pushed to get anything for under £15 but if you want to spoil someone or get something really special then go here.
I got really good advice from the owner for a present for my uncle who's big into his wine and he suggested something for £20 which completely blew my uncle's socks off.
Great place to buy something for your Dad or Brother.

Review of Elizabeth King
19 Apr 08, 11:29
Definately the best in South West London
I've lived in the area my whole life, and kings has been there longer than me.
The buyers really know what they are doing, you can get almost anything in Kings whether it's really rare or just an every day ingredient.
They've interesting cheeses, and the newly opened butcher is good value.
I wouldn't buy wine from them as it's very expensive, but on the whole I'd give it 10/10
