Review of Lavender Room
05 May 08, 18:19
This shop is lush 
I love this shop. you could spend hours.......and a fortune here if you weren't really disciplined. It has a lot of very girly things for your home, little trinkets, I bought some glass coasters and a perfume bottle. They do great underwear and clothes too, especially lovely shoes, i couldn't resist!! I challenge any girl not to go in there and love it

Review of Oxo Tower Brasserie
30 Apr 08, 12:49
Excellent views
This is a really great experience. The restaurant itself is fabulous, great food, really good service and excellent layout and feel of the whole place. What makes it even more special is the view of the South Bank and River looking out as far as you can see. The location here is everything, and it makes this restaurant a must go to

Great gifts
I really love this shop. I could spend hours in it. It's got some really good little items of clothing, I've often gone in there for a birthdau card and ended up buying a dress, they just always seem to have something unique that you just can't resist. It's brilliant for gifts, which I suppose is what it's for, great costume jewellery, bags, baby gifts, great one off books, it has lots. Not a good place to go if you are walking past and just want to nose, cos you'll always end up spending money

Review of Chip Basket
27 Apr 08, 16:26
Oh I do like to live beside the seaside
Living by the seaside you would hope that your local chippy would be a cut above the average. The chip basket is exactly that. I always have cod, chips and mushy peas. I can't remember having sampled better. Popularity means that's often a queue but worth the wait

Review of The Clapham Picture House
27 Apr 08, 16:15
Small and perfectly formed
This picture house, or cinema, is my favorite. It's got so much character, no wonder it's always so popular. With great old retro films on at a weekend, this really is a classic. For me, the old, small cinemas are the best. With a great little bar attached to the side, it's a really good night out

Review of Food For Friends

Veggie delight
Excellent restaurant. I'm a meat eater so I was sceptical as to the variety of food that would be available but actually this restaurant could have turned me vegetarian. There was an extensive menu, we decided on a curry, three different types, which was gorgeous. Service was upbeat to say the least, and we were really looked after. Would definately return

Review of Eco

Garlic prawns and mango cheesecake!
My very favourite pizza restaurant! I used to live round the corner and I'm pretty sure I was their best customer. You have to go there often enough to experience their entire menu. best pizzas in London but the rest of the menu is excellent too, especially their garlic prawns and mango cheesecake!

Review of Whistles
23 Apr 08, 17:29
You could spend a fortune
I could buy everything in this shop, I absolutely love it. It's simular to Reiss in that it has it's unique style, you can tell it's from Whistles, which is good for a high street shop. But it's all fairly different and stands out. Love the dresses and tops especially. This shop should not be entered unless you're prepared to spend money otherwise you'd leave feeling depressed

Review of The White Company
23 Apr 08, 17:20
Anything White and Fluffy
I love this brand. you can't beat their range of bedding, towels, kitchen wear, anything to make your house look fabulous. They do a great mail order service, but you have to go into one of their shops and see all of their products to really appreciate how good it all is!

Review of The Case
23 Apr 08, 13:50
Best in Leicester
The Case is a lovely restaurant. the menu changes every 6 weeks and is always amazing. You can look out over looking the people walking through the town centre from above, which is always good value, especially on a Saturday night. they have a great champayne bar downstairs too

Review of Selfridges
23 Apr 08, 12:46
No place like it
The very best department store in London, without a doubt. There is absolutely no place like it. I had my wedding list here so know everything the cookshop has, which is pretty much everything you could wish for. The clothes are pretty spectacular too

Review of Scotney For Women
23 Apr 08, 12:43
If you go, you have to buy
If you have no money and are thinking of window shopping, don't it's too dangerous! Scotneys has fabulous clothes for every occasion, great designers such as Paul Smith, Boss, Stella Macartney, and great accessories such as boots, belts, shoes, jewellery

Review of Barrie Stephen

Amazing Stylists
Barry Stephen's hair salon is, I think, the best one in Leicester. The team take it very seriously, and are all very professional. They are obviously a creative team, and like nothing more than to do a new style to make you look fantastic. Sarah is my recommendation

Review of Stanmer House
23 Apr 08, 12:21
Fantastic venue
Stanmer House is an absolutely beautiful location, a stunning period house restored to it's former glory, perfect for weddings, parties and pretty much any way you want to take advantage of it. Best Christmas party I've ever been to was at stanmer House, you must go see. And if I was getting married again, that's where I'd do it

Review of Komedia
23 Apr 08, 06:53
Brilliant Venue
Komedia is a great venue for many reasons. The main reason though, is because it has so many good gigs there, you could pretty much keep yourself interested all year round. It's not just comedy, they have a great list of artists that you can get up close and personal with. It holds a couple of hundred, so it's nice an intimate, but a great enviroment.

Review of Berties At Earth Walk
21 Apr 08, 07:47
You have to go
Berties is a little gold mine! What ever outfit you need to purchase, they'll have it. From fab jeans, to boots and shoes, to dresses and tops, they have everything, and it's all gorgeous. Their accessories will finish off any outfit. All of that is great, but you can't beat the service in berties, which is so friendly, they really help you make the most out of everything they have, by making suggestions which really helps you decide what to buy. Leonie and her team are all lovely

Review of Due South

Fantastic Fish
This restaurant is perfect for every reason. It's great if you're just having a walk on the seafront and fancy a coffee, brilliant for lunch or for dinner. The food is sourced locally, they're very focussed on sustainability. The fish is to die for!
