Review of The Bok Bar

South African Themed Bar 
This was one of those places I stumbled upon whilst roaming around covent garden one night. It's basically a basement bar which is an average size. I think they are trying to be a south african themed bar because they have springboks and flags on the wall but other than night there isnt too much that makes this place stand out from the countless amount of bars in central london. Prices are quite pricey but from what I've heard, its a good place to watch the rugby so maybe go to here when south africa play in the tri nations.

Review of Little Bay

Opera Singing Restaurant
This one of several restaurants making up this small London chain. The first thing you'll notice when entering the restaurant is how extravagantly decorated it is. A rabbit warren like restaurant littered with nooks and crannies decorated in an extravagant operatic style. The food of a French style and is very good indeed , on a par with many far more expensive restaurants with a 3 course meal costing between £30 - £40. Not just the unusual surroundings make for a memorable night , opera singers are also prowling the restaurant going from room to room and table to table belting out both well known and unfamiliar songs from a wide range of Operas. Be warned though the singers can be quite intrusive so whether you enjoy the experience may very well depend upon how easily embarrassed you are!

Review of The Worlds End

Big Friendly Pub in Camden 
This is the biggest pub ive been to in camden, and one of the best ones. Seats are limited so I expect to stand even when it doesnt look half full. Friday and Saturdays are its busiest times but theres a really good atmosphere then. Theres a downstairs part where bands play most nights from 9pm which vary from rock to metal to punk and costs about a fiver to get in. If you are in Camden go there if you can because most of the pubs in camden are too small to cope with the number of people it attracts

Review of The Knights Templar
02 May 07, 21:38
Surprisingly Good Weatherspoons
This public house is part of the JD Wetherspoon chain. So as would be expected there is a wide range of beers, wines and spirits available for lower than average prices plus a fairly wide range of reasonably priced pub food. It also means no music in the bar and as a result the usual lack of atmosphere. Thankfully however the Knights Templar is not just another soulless Wetherspoon's. It's located in a very attractive building and the large split level pub is grandly decorated. There is a large screen on which all major sports events are shown on. A popular location amongst city workers for an after work pint.

Review of Krispy Kreme

Delicious
This small franchise supplies a wide variety of doughnuts and is a delight for anyone with a sweet tooth. Doughnuts can be bought individually or in boxes of a dozen. The shop seems to do a constant trade throughout the day however staff are very quick and you shouldn't find yourself waiting too long to be served. Doughnuts are baked throughout the day. One tip is to keep an eye on the electric sign in the doorway , when lit it means a fresh batch of doughnuts have just come out of the oven , delicious!!

Review of Turnam

Best Pub on Green Lanes
Tucked in between lots of shops, the Salisbury stands out like a saw thumb but for all the right reasons. Its a very nice and large victorian pub withg a good selection of beers and ales. It's a shame the pub is on green lanes as there isn't many good pubs around it but Well worth a visit anywhere, especially on Pub Quiz night mid week.

Review of The Bull and Gate

An Ok pub for local bands
This pub resides next to the forum so when a big gig is on, its always busy. A lot of band nights happen here on a weekday night so if you like your live bands, definately come down one night have take a look. On the whole the pub is ok but nothing special, drinks are ok on prices but for a pub that plays a lot of live band nights, there still remains a strong element of the older generation.

Review of Woolworths

Reasonable Woolworths
This store is like most of the Woolworths store across London. It has a good range of offers but it looks scruffy and unclean in parts. Some of the shelfs look like they have been rammed for of items to get it out of the warehosue in the back. For the more popular items like the ipod or xbox, I found them to have little or no stock which is disappointing for a chain store of this size. However they do carry a large selection of items and usually have a DVD offer going on, so for these reasons I would check this store out.

Review of Game
11 May 07, 11:50
Well informed staff, and some great products
When I'm shopping, I like to think that the staff that I'm going to talk to actually know about their product. Sometimes this is a farce and they know nothing, sometimes they're almost experts. The branch of Game in Canary Wharf is definately the latter example. Staffed with intelligent people who probably play their stock as much as they sell it, you can always guarantee that they can talk about whatever game you want for hours. The shop is also incredibly well stocked with the most recent games and a slightly older variety. Add to this a 2nd hand bin, and you know you'll find what you are looking for here.

Review of The Grapes
13 May 07, 21:44
Best Pub In Town 
Throughout London, you always find places like this. Your ancient, and proud of it, boozer with your regulars and a sense of proudness throughout. Yes, like so many pubs throughout the capital city, The Grapes is a place to adore. At the same time however, it is so much more. With a terrace over looking the Thames, a truely exquisite fish restaurant upstairs, and the sort of crammed Friday night hustle and bustle which is befitting of it's limited space, it thrives on the happiness and content that it provides. When you leave The Grapes, you leave a little bit of your soul behind, there and waiting for your next return. A place of truely awe inspiring brilliance.
