At the lahore it is the food that is important rather than flash and expensive cutting edge design. Next time you are in London we'll go to the Lahore. <br /><br />St Paul's leans towards the south bank of the Thames because it knows that this is where the excitement is.

After the competition was over, we had plenty opportunity to wander around in Chelsea, visiting an agricultural fair where you could buy litterally dozens of different varieties of apples.<br />Food has always been a priority, both with her and with me, but we mostly walked empty-pocketed.<br />I did not know you are allowed to “take your own” and have wine on premises without proper license. But that’s good news. And no cork-money indeed !<br />This being said – but all is a matter of taste – I would not dream entering a Kebab House with a front like that, had you not recommended it. Looks more like a Wimpy Bar of old.<br />By the way, you treated us to some real beautiful snapshots again, in your previous posts. Congratulations! Still, an earth-quake must have taken place as you shot St Paul’s from the South Bank. I can’t wait for the replica’s ....<br />Luc Charliernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456611623448834500.post-48588768417882235962013-01-13T18:17:16.760+00:002013-01-13T18:17:16.760+00:00Many thanks Susan.

Modern, stylish and good value.<br /><br />Haz, in Devonshire Square near Liverpool St Station does great Turkish for a very good price.<br /><br />For a great pub meal, the Seven Stars, in Holborn, behind the Old Bailey and very convient if you've been to Sir John Soane's Museum.
