Review of Gordons Wine Bar

Love this place, stop telling everyone 
It's still great and I still can't believe it passes health and safety but am glad it does. Just wish people would stop telling everyone about it...oops there I go. Nice in the summer but really comes into its own as an autumn winter treat. And now you can actually see inside as the clouds of smoke have gone, hope they don't think to clean it though, I suspect the walls are 75% nicotine by now.
Surely London's greatest wine bar, there's nowhere else like it I'll be bound. Now shhhh!

Gorgeous kinky 
This small dark place (run by Anita - Body Shop - Roddick's daughter) is full of sexy slinky and positively kinky bits and bobs for adult play.
The shop itself is female and couple-friendly and it is not embarrassing to browse in. The staff are approachable and nice and quite straightforward about answering any questions.
The emphasis is on aesthetically pleasing design and they stock gorgeous (gor blimey expensive) lingerie. Don't feel odd about popping in, it is nothing if not intriguing. I would never go into somewhere like Ann Summers but this place is more than a cut above.

That's damn fine stationery (not stationary) 
Now to some people stationery is just the stuff you doodle on at the office or lugged around in your school bag. But to others (myself included) a good pad of fine quality (preferably squared and ideally French) paper and a beautiful ink pen to write on it with are transporting delights.
If you fall into the latter category, or just want somewhere with a really good selection of pens, paper, wrapping stuff, cards, desk accessories, bags, and other desk-related things to choose from then this cool little shop is for you.
It is located in that short cross street between Leicester Square and Long Acre, Covent Garden, right by The Photographers' Gallery, down at the bottom of Charing Cross Road where it meets St Martin's Lane. Been there years, hope it never folds (do you see what I did there? stationery, folds...)
