Review of Phoenicia

30 Jun 07, 14:42

Great Hummus

I'm addicted to Hummus. It's that simple, me and my flat mate must go through at least three or four tubs a week.

We're lucky in that we have Phoenicia just down the road from our flat because it does the best hummus in town. Not only is it well priced, by you get a lot of it too. I also think it is refreshing that a proper middle eastern deli is where the hummus is the best.

Phoenicia does more than just hummus tho, a huge selection of mezes, olives, cheeses and bread. Great for a lazy weekend.

Review of Caversham Group Practice

20 May 07, 20:54

A Big Group Practice

When I first moved to London I had heard horror stories about registering with a GP and even more bad tales of the waiting times. I was encouraged to find that the Caversham Group Practice was at the bottom of my road and happy to hear they were taking on new patients.

In the two instances that I have been there the waiting has been minimal and the doctors friendly and not at all in a rush to get you in and out the door. I couldn't give an exact number but I would say there is over 20 doctors and the options to use a number of other services.

If you are moving to Kentish Town I'd highly recommend giving this place a call.

Review of The Pineapple

10 May 07, 23:10

So Good it Gets a Little Crowded

I'm a regular at the Pineapples Monday night quiz (listen out for Quiz Team Hamilton). It's a great night out -good beer and food, and a quiz tough enough to keep you interested but not so hard that you feel embarrassed to hand in your answer sheet. Bare in mind this is a really popular quiz so you would be well advised to get to the pub straight from work if you want to get a seat.

On nights other than a Monday the Pineapple is just a nice and friendly pub with the sort of atmosphere that is perfect for a few jars post work.

Review of The Oxford

10 May 07, 20:08

Nice Pub, No Sports

"If this place was in Birmingham it would be the best bar in the city," said a friend of mine. He's not wrong, the problem is that isn't really saying much. The Oxford is a nice pub, beer is reasonably priced, and there are some good foreigners on tap. There is also a good restaurant at the back that does some hearty English food at central London prices. The pork belly is amazing.

Please note that this places does not play sports, which is quite handy if you are looking to find a seat on pretty much any night of the week during the football season.

Review of Torriano

08 May 07, 12:05

My Favourite Pub in Kentish Town

The Torriano was the venue for my first pint as a Londoner and therefore will always keep a special place in my heart. But it is the great atmosphere, BBQ on a Sunday and the lashings of boardgames that will keep me coming back. It is not exactly in Kentish Town as you have to make a short walk up Leighton road, but it is well worth the journey, and you may bump into local celebrity Jon Snow on the way.

Review of Flavours

08 May 07, 10:00

Beautiful Deli Tucked Away in Kentish Town

I'm ashamed to admit it took me 6 months of living in Kentish Town to finally find Flavours. What is more, I literally live a stones throw away from it.

Flavours is a gorgeous little deli that also serves eat in coffee and pastries to its customers. I make a habit of visiting most Sundays and picking up some goodies for the afternoon. This usually involves the homemade flatbreads or pies, but I tend to get tempted by the other things on offer to.

All the foods are of the highest quality and in many instances locally produced. I picked up some London marmalade just this morning.

A must for locals, and well worth the trip up Leighton Road for visitors too.
