Review: Fine Italian Dining at L’Anima Restaurant

The London Insider — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:00:21 +0000

L'Anima is the typical, modern City restaurant – floor to ceiling windows everywhere, sophisticated, really good service, and above all an amazing wine selection. In many ways, you'll be hard pressed to find a better wining and dining place for your expense account (if you're still lucky enough to have one).

Ever heard of Deliverance? If you have lived in London for a period of time, chances are that you have. Either as a current customer, someone who's received one of their brochures, or seen one of their iconic delivery motorbikes across London.

Review: Interactive Tables at Inamo Restaurant

The London Insider — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:30:03 +0000

Inamo has the unique concept of interactive tables. Whether technology can replace a waiter altogether I am not so sure, however this fun, quirky and futuristic feature is certainly a talking point. I especially recommend this restaurant for those on a first date. If the dreaded "awkward silence" strikes, then you can always just talk about the table!

Driving in London: Affordable & Practical with Car Clubs

The London Insider — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:00:58 +0000

Owning a car in London can be extremely impractical, especially for working professionals with no kids and living in a place with no free on-street or off-street parking. Plus, for those who are under a certain age, even if you did have use for a car, the car insurance would cost over a thousand pounds a year.

Probably the best Tamagoyaki in London at Soho Japan

The London Insider — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:35:29 +0000

I'm a big fan of tamagoyaki, which is a Japanese sweet egg rolled omelette - such a simple ingredient, a chicken egg, turned into something delicate and full of flavour. It was delightful then to find what is arguably the best tamagoyaki in London at the Soho Japan restaurant, although it breaks my heart that it might never be on the menu again.

To mark distinguished physicist and cosmologist Professor Stephen Hawking’s 70th birthday, the Science Museum has opened a new display in his honour. Fittingly situated in the Exploring Space section of the Science Museum’s ground floor, the display looks to celebrate not only Hawking’s birthday, but also ‘his life and achievements’.

The London Insider — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:00:47 +0000

I love a good afternoon tea, and when a friend of mine invited me to go try the afternoon tea at the Espelette Restaurant in the 5-star The Connaught Hotel in the middle of Mayfair, I had to say yes.

The London Insider — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 08:30:22 +0000

A couple of years ago, I booked a Top Secret Hotel through Lastminute.com, where you don't know the actual hotel until you book our stay – but in return you get great hotel rates that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else.

New Pizza Express Leggera Range – More On Top, Less On The Bottom

The London Insider — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:00:13 +0000

The Leggera pizzas at Pizza Express have been a great success since they were introduced, and they've just been refreshed with new types! I've never had a Leggera pizza before, so I went to a blogger's night they were holding to launch the new range.
