Review of The Harrow

Somewhere to chill 
OK this maybe not be in the heart of any city, but it is very cosy and the food is not bad either. The usual selection of drinks and sofa's and privacy (if needed) can be found.
I particualrly like the 2 sided fireplaces (2 of them).

Review of Scotts Sandwich Bar

Lunch time Dynamo 
OK who can really get excited about a sandwich shop?! Although this place does the best Salt Beef around. It just falls apart and is very tasty.
Fast sometimes friendly service. The things offered are pretty much what you'd expect but the sandwiches are huge and always hit the spot.

Review of Nandos

Nandos on Chandos
This Nandos serves chicken... is what you expect to here from a review about this chain but this one is different.
It has been converted from a funky bar so the layout is pretty odd and adds to the charm with dark boothes and big tables. It is a different way of enjoying the chicken which as always is great!
A nice place to eat before a night out!

Does exactly what it says on the tin!
This is a great gym with the usual equiptment you would expect including on equiptment entertainment...
Good amount of parking and friendly staff who aren't intrusive and pushy.
Pool, sauna, steam, jacuzzi, etc... So all you want from a gym and don't forget to ask about corporate discounts!

Review of National Portrait Gallery
15 Apr 08, 17:00
Bit of it all
This amazing gallery loctaed on Trafalgar Square has portraits of everyone from King Henry I to Blur. Including Andy Warhol's work and occasionally the odd masterpiece (Van Gogh et al)
It is a great way to soak up a bit of culture without spending a whole day doing it (which you can)
It is a huge place but also has some unknown artisits which adds to the charm...
I pop in occasionaly at lunch and wonder round. It is upto you if you wish to donate with no pressure at all from the staff who also certainly know there stuff

Review of Light Bar
15 Apr 08, 17:06
Flash but no bang 
This place offered alot at first glance with cool decor and good drinks but for some reason it is drained of all atmosphere. Maybe that is very airy and white makes it unatractive as a night spot.
Also well over-priced for what you get this place almost hit the spot but unfortunately fell flat on it's face. The only plus is the private room which is uncomfortable but very nicely decorated. You will need to book now for a table in 2012 though!
Not recommended as a regular place to drink but probably worth a visit to see the place.

Review of Rock Bottom

Rock Haven of my Youth!
From the picture this store looks to be having a face lift but in my mid-90's Grunge fest I went to this place almost daily.
New sparkly guitars, old moody guitars, a drum room and every accessory you can think of makes this place a musicians haven. The smell of strings and varnish takes me back to when I had high hopes of being Kurt Kobain!!

Review of Vue

Nothing Special
Apart from the fact this is where I met Jessica Alba.... which may have been the best moment of my life, this is a regular cinema.
Very pricey and unnecessarily so as this has nothing special to offer apart from it's location. This is really a tourist trap and you better of going somewhere 15 minutes away for virtually half the price.

Review of Odeon Wimbledon

HD spectacular
I live in South London and make an effort to go here for any big budget films i.e. I watched all Lord of the Rings and Matrixes here.
The reason for this is the HD screenings they have. It is a great experience and has HD sound too! Like watching a 18 ft plasma screen.
The cinema itself is pretty standard but there is parking if it helps...

Review of Hamleys Of London

Still as fun as ever!
OK I'm not exactly the target audience for this store but still pop along when I need a cheer up.
5 floors of toys, games, babies stuff, gadgets, etc... With the staff who all belong in an insane asylum!
Great fun with or without your kids (but don't tell anyone!)
