Review of Dansk Flowers
01 May 08, 07:31
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 Embargo
19 Apr 08, 11:18
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

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 Randalls Butchers
19 Apr 08, 07:55
The Best in London
It's true that Randall's is probably the most expensive butcher in London, but if you want the best you have got to pay for it.
The lovely Brian is also brimming with ideas, if there is a meat you haven't cooked or heard of he's always got quick and easy suggestions.
If you are on a budget, try the lamb burgers, or the ready mixed chicken stir fry.
I would avoid going on a Saturday as there is usually a queue out the door.

Review of Barbarella
18 Apr 08, 16:22
Gross
Perhaps one of the tackiest places I've been.
People tend to hire it out for parties as there is a dancefloor then they open their doors to the public after a certain time.
The food is pretty rubbish for the price, it smells and there are too many mirrors that you constantly see pissed people mistaking for hallways and trying to walk through. - Worth it for five minutes if you are sober to see people bouncing off the walls.

Review of Pickled Pelican
18 Apr 08, 16:20
Good for a quiet pint 
This has been here for as long as I can remember and I've lived in the area over 20 years.
It's a pretty standard bar, but a good one for a quick after work drink. Again as with many places in the area on Chelsea days it's completely over run by blue shirts, but non-match days it's a useful one to have up your sleeve.

Review of La Rueda
18 Apr 08, 16:18
Not great food
I don't rate this for good Tapas, you're better going to El Metro by Fulham Broadway.
It is quite good for the lash though if you are willing to overlook the food. The waiters get into the party spirit and there is dodgy dancing and plate smashing (I thought that was greek!).
They are open late so if you can't make it to a late night bar this is ok as a last ditched attempt to get that final unnecessary beer in.

Review of The Morrison Bar and Lounge
18 Apr 08, 16:16
Yummy chicken pie
The Morrison is a bit of weird one. I think it's one of those pubs you have to go in a gang to, otherwise it lacks atmosphere.
They show most sporting events and somehow manages not to get too crowded.
There's a tiny beer garden in the back lacking a view.
The new owners have done a good job, the bar staff are amusing and they do a mean chicken pie - great Saturday afternoon hangover nursing place.

Review of Rumi

Gross
Really dodgy place that you should only stumble into if you can't make it over the bridge.
Slightly seedy bouncer that really gives you the once over before deciding whether you are alright (ie still standing) to go in.
Would avoid it if possible.

Review of Ad Lib

I'm with you guys
It's not a great place. Went on a date once and I couldn't hear a word the guy was saying - there was a DJ playing at full pelt to a practically empty bar.
Not a big fan, you can do better than that in the area.
