You made me laugh about the sexy velvety side room at Dean Street, and it's so true - when I went there I did indeed begin to drape myself rather than my normal tentative 'perch' and I'm sure that my throat emitted an Eartha Kitt like purr - it's the sort of place that makes me order things like 'whiskey' - just like a grown up...(I'm 42). Great post. Great blog.

I'm a London born (Elephant and Castle, mate) and your post was wonderful. I often want to grab tourists queuing outside Madame Tussauds and say 'you're not getting the best, the real deal'. Maybe I'll just print out a few of your posts and thrust them into their hands!<br /><br />I love Cecil Court, sadly now that area is being gobbled up by the multiples and second hand bookshops are losing. I had a huge row with a boyfriend at Andrew Edmunds. We made up, and he's now my husband of 15 years, but we're scared to go back.<br /><br />Every Saturday we leave the kids asleep and sneak out for breakfast - no traffic, back before they wake up. We love Charlotte Street Hotel, Riding House Cafe, and Mount Street Deli. And the Patisserie Valerie in Soho, and Marylebone. There, something for your next trip! <br /><br />Can't wait to read about your country walk.<br />PS We went to your neck of the woods 2 years ago, and feel nostalgia whenever Venice Beach or Santa Monica are shown in an MTV video (and ye gods, when aren't they?).Serenknitityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00857715320782090813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-7914405839019620812012-04-19T12:07:40.802-07:002012-04-19T12:07:40.802-07:00This is such a wonderfully idiosyncratic and evoca...This is such a wonderfully idiosyncratic and evocative travelog.

Yes, it's Fulham, but if you're staying in South Ken it's 2 stops on the District Line. Their kids menu is lamb. And I had the most amazing Guinea Hen ever.
