Nice Place - not called The Exhibition 
Team welovelocal went for some post work drinks here to say good by to a member of the team.
It's kind of split in two with those just their for the drinking sectioned off, away from the people who are their for dinner. Makes sense. The room you get to drink in is quite small so the 20 or so people that make up our office definitely had a commanding presence in the room. The rather hidden point I am trying to make is that it's not the biggest place in the world so if you are banking on getting a seat you better turn up early, especially on a Friday.
The beers are nothing special - Paulaner on tap is always nice, I hear that the clever money is on the red wine of which they have an extensive selection.
All in all a good night, and if you are looking to move on the excellent Cafe Kick is just over the road and Fabric and Turnmill are just down the road making it a good place to start your night.
As always nights out are always made much better if someone you know gets blind drunk and gives everyone else something to talk about - thanks for that Helen.

Review of The Larder

Go for the sandwiches 
Ok, so me and Rik tend to go here together, so like him I should add that I've never been to the main restaurant. But the little sandwich shop next door is out of this world.
It makes sandwiches as they should be, fresh and right in front of you. Judge a sandwich by the tomatoes I say. If the bread isn't slightly damp because of the juice then it's not up to my standards.
The ingredients are fantastic, thick slices of ham, nice and mature cheese, black pepper, which may sound simple but is often left out. They also do a nice selection of pastries and biscuits, as well as slices of pizza for a pound.
Better yet the price is reasonable, expect change from a fiver for lunch.

Review of Skylon

Nice, but the space deservces better 
Anywhere else in London Skylon would easily be getting four if not five stars from me. There is little to complain about when it comes to the food. A well rounded menu and equally strong wine list provide little to complain about. But for me that was just it, it was nothing hugely exciting. Pork belly -check, pumpkin foam or soup -check, seared scallops -you guessed it- check.
Glance over your shoulder however, and you get a vista few cities in the world can compete with.
And therein lies the problem with Skylon, you leave talking about the view and not the food.
