Locanda Locatelli - Restaurant

Well, my fish was a wee bit overcooked (but still nice), our champagne could have been a little cooler, and it would have been good if they had served the main dish my date requested. That said, the service was faultless and apologetic about the order mix up, the surroundings beautiful, and we had a nice evening there. I still don't quite get the hype though - with the exception of the interiors, you could have been in a really good local resto.

L'Étranger - Restaurant

Went there on a first date and the first thing I noticed was that the tables were too close together - I could hear my neighbours' conversations and they could hear ours. Not ideal.

Nice food and okay service. All in all, not a bad place. Just nothing to rave about.

The British Museum

A wide range of exhibitions. If you go during the week, it's quite calm (and toddler-free). I like it a lot and recommend it, whether visiting alone or with a group. Staff are friendly and very helpful when you get lost... and you will get lost!

Loungelover - London bar

Tiny little street entrance with a neon sign. You enter, thinking: "Oh no, BACK TO THE 90s!" But as soon as you step in, every ounce of anxiety drifts away and you're greeted by professional and friendly staff.

After the tiny, non-descript entrance, the sheer size of the bar/resto is just amazing and the interior design is highly unique - romantic, edgy, indulgent, with mismatched furniture that seems to, er, match. Fabulous! Service is attentive but not pushy.

I want to give it a 5-star rating but the food was a wee bit bland. Other than that, it was simply faultless and I highly recommend it. I will be back!

One Aldwych - London hotel

Probably my favourite hotel in London. Faultless service, excellent food, the most comfortable beds and the bathtubs are delightful! A great variety of bars, great for an afternoon cocktail.

Highly recommended!

Zander bar

Only place to get a decent Martini in the bleak neighbourhood that is Victoria. Very friendly, professional service and the food is quite delicious. However, if you're looking for hip, this is not the place as it's fairly standard in decor and atmosphere.

Milk & Honey - Member's club

Liked it. Great service, friendly and a cool location. Too dark though - could barely see!

Hydrohealing - London day spa

During my first (and last) time at HH, I saw Daniella for a facial and a hydrodetox (which includes a body wrap, colonic -done by someone else - and lympatic drainage). I found Daniella very helpful, calming and didn't make endless, pointless conversation and the facial sent me straight to sleep. The body wrap and lymphatic drainage were absolutely excellent - she explained everything and the treatments were just sublime. No complaints!

I have colonics regularly at another clinic but wanted to check this place out. BIG MISTAKE! This was the worst colonic EVER! Not only does the therapist have the most annoying voice, she had no clue what she was doing. The fact that I actually paid for the treatment is very frustrating.

At one point the hot water stopped working, so another treatment was offered to me. But once I'd chosen another treatment, they told me that time was short (because THEY had been dealing with the water issue), so how about coming back? When I expressed my frustration, the hot water miraculously started working and there was suddenly time for all of my treatments. I left more stressed than when I arrived!

Christian Louboutin - London shop

With the exception of Chanel and MB, there are no better shoes. I wear them and I love them - they're worth every single penny. However, I will NEVER buy them from Motcomb Street store again. The service is horrendous. I was treated as nothing by the store assistant over a year ago and I haven't been back since.

Go to Harrods, where they have a great selection and you get treated like an actual person.

The Collection - Bar

You walk in, along 'the catwalk' feeling beautiful and glamorous, and suddenly you're faced with nothing but blond extensions, young girls with too much make-up/not enough clothes on and much older men with too much money/not enough dignity. Not cool!

Foodwise, the mashed potatoes are the best I've ever had (and this girl knows her mashed potatoes!). Great cocktails too.

It's an okay place, just don't like the clientele...
