Selection in London

“As the hotel is connected directly to terminal 5 . It makes it easy to do the night before check in, buy any last minute essentials landside, or even have a meal or drink. The room was quiet and comfortable. I had checked in on line so a very quick wait upon arrival for our key, and we were relaxing in our room. Beds comfortable, bathroom a good size. We didn't book breakfast as our flight was at 8am and we didn't want to rush. We grabbed a quick coffee and croissant at the gate, before boarding . Service is quiet and understated, but always consistent. For ease and convenience we would always recommend a stay here.”

“Can’t recommend this place enough! It’s minutes away from the train station, rooms are spacious, there’s air con, comfortable bed, good breakfast times, quiet and I left an item behind in the room and they were absolute stars in getting it back to me. Such friendly helpful staff, had a great stay and then helping me afterwards was just the cherry on top!”

“Second time staying here in 2025. It’s a great hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are clean and modern with the required facilities. The breakfast buffet is very good with lots of different options. The location is super convenient for most tourist attractions. The Waterloo station is just a few minutes walk from the hotel.”

“I've been here a few times and always had exceptional service. Sumera is very patient and resourceful which made our shopping easier. She handled mine and my sister's orders so well and ensured we left with something that we loved. This is my go to place for good quality jewellery.”

“Nobu is above the price range where we normally eat out but as we are fans of Nippon food, thought it was worth visiting the grand daddy of Japanese/Peruvian restaurants. It was an enjoyable experience, if dear. Our main waiter was excellent, advising on how much to order, deciding on the sequence and pairing of food arrivals, and instructing us how to best to enjoy certain dishes. This was not the case with all staff who sometimes just dumped dishes on our table. Happily our main waiter stopped by to instruct us to taste the miso black cod on its own first before trying it with the dots of sauce and saving the wand of pickled ginger for the end. Similarly the dry miso powder served with the grilled asparagus was meant to be sprinkled on top, though we also used it as condiment for dipping. First to arrive was a double order of tuna tacos with dry miso. Very delicious, served at room temperature and the seasoning was more reminiscent of truffle than miso. Tiny portion, though, with taco shells just shy 3 inches in diameter. Second to arrive were the star dishes of black cod miso and grilled asparagus with dry miso, both served warm. Portion sizes were thankfully generous. The black cod was delicious because the sweet miso and mirin marinade was applied very thinly and grilled until slightly blackened, so the flavour was complex rather than just sweet. It didn't need the dots of extra marinade mixture on the plate which we both found too sweet. A long thin stalk of pickled ginger was decorative both for its sculptural shape as well as its fuschia to white ombre hue. However, it tasted just like the pickled ginger you normally get with sushi. Asparagus was attractively charred but still succulent so probably blanched prior to grilling. Apologies for the photos as we started tucking into this course before remembering to take a photograph. Next to arrive were chicken skewers with anticucho sauce. Chicken breast was shockingly tender and juicy. I do not know how the kitchen team achieved this texture. Anticucho sauce was okay but nothing special--pretty much the same as in other Nippon restaurants. The garnishes of pickled cauliflower, hijiki and daikon were a lovely contrast. A sweet puree of pumpkin was a nice foil for the anticucho sauce. This portion consisted of two large skewers. Finally our order of maki fillers arrived. We had been unnecessarily worried about tiny portions so ordered a few rolls to fill up on rice. Scheduling these to arrive last was last was a brilliant move on the part of our waiter, as these items were not spectacularly different from maki rolls available at any Japanese takeaway that uses decent fish and serves sushi rice at the correct temperature. I liked the futomaki style house roll served with soy. We also had yellow tail and Jalapeno roll served with ponzu. We took home some maki's in a takeaway box because we were full. The restaurant is windowless in the basement though there is a pretty honey wood decor, recalling both Scandi and Japanese aesthetics. The wood panelling also resulted in excellent acoustics. The disco beats from the bar were far away enough not to be disturbing. Portion sizes were mainly good. I was a little surprised that the only South American ingredient in our order was chilli. We washed down our meal with the cheapest red at £55 which was very pleasant. This is at a price point where we might not dine here again. Dinner for two including the bottle of house wine came to £219. I was glad for the experience and certainly learned some new things to try to reproduce at home.”

“It was my graduation dinner 21.07.23. Yippee I totally enjoyed every bit of it. My guests had a lot to say about the beautiful evening as well. The ambiance - was to die for Music - very soothing and chill Food - right amount of deliciousness Staff - warm and welcoming with very cool vibe. My experience was all shades of amazing. I was received with love and treated very special. My visit was a memorable one and I will do it over and over again. Guys! What are you waiting for? Get booking……”

“I'm very fussy about eating out, and this restaurant was recommended to me as I don't eat meat. The staff are friendly( which is rare when it's a woman serving a Woman), nut most of all the food is fresh and taste lovely, I have not been disappointed with anything that I have purchased.”

“Some of the dishes are exceptional and very close to the original in Thailand (taking into account Ingredients might be different). The starter snacks are super. Larb Gai tort (minty chicken balls), pik Gai tort (deep fried split wings marinated in fish sauce) and DIY noodles were amazing!!! The Khao Soy (northern style curried noodles) was delicious!!!! The Krapow was okay (yet to find a good one in London) but still tasty. The service is excellent. Worth a visit!!!”

“This was the best Italian food I've ever had. The bread was so soft and savory, the cheese was so nutty and flavorful, and the olives were the best olives I've ever had, taste and texture. And that's just the Starters! The stuffed pasta was incredible and the fish tasted amazing! The staff were incredibly helpful accommodating our 10 month old with a personal chair and extra care. He loved the mushroom soup! Incredible experience overall. A bit on the very expensive side.”

“Managed to turn up and seat a group of 9 last Saturday evening. Service was fab - thanks Petero for looking after us! Very quick out with drinks and food. Had to send back corn on the cob as not warm enough but they sorted it super quick. Otherwise great. Lovely cocktails, delicious food. Kids meal was great value and the churros were really tasty. Will definitely head there next time we’re at the O2.”

“The staff is really good helpful and the clothes are really good this is the dress I got love it”

“As a man, it is often hard to find shoes that are stylish, but also whimsical and fun; luckily this store exist. Even better is the customer service. Alicia took really good care of us help me pick out the perfect shoe and even taught me how to use a shoehorn.”

“Wonderful experience today! Luckily advised by the excellent Freddy who was very helpful with trekking shoe selection and advice on running style! I’ll definitely be back soon for new running trainers.”

“You have to visit here. There's no other place like it. The menu is very reasonably priced, you'd find it hard to beat and they make really good voffee. My dad first took me here about 50 years ago. It has alot of history. On today's visit I tried the food. Chicken Curry was good. The whole bill was value for money.”

“One of the best hot chocolates I’ve had in awhile!! Popular location but less known cafe in the crypt, would add to the bucket list! I know they host events here also! Many chairs and tables and surprisingly natural lighting ☺️ would recommend for a drink and a cool place to relax from the buzz of the above world!”

“Delicious biryani for £4.00 makes this amazing value - and they make authentic Italian coffee as the barman/owner used to live there. Better macchiato than any of the high street chains and the price is 50% cheaper”

“Unplanned visit but had such a great night. Friendly door staff, quick service from bar staff & great attention given to customers. Amazing music, couldn't of asked for a better night. I even had a dance or two. Querky decor my kind of place. Very well run pub & music venue, the London stone rock! Highly recommend”

“Our family booked The Hammer In Hand for a wake yesterday. Staff were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. Prices were extremely reasonable and the food served was fresh with a great variety of rolls. The whole day was made so much easier with the great service we received from everyone there. Thank you. I could not recommend this place highly enough.”

“I was served by Chris P at the Tottenham Hale branch for a battery replacement, and he was absolutely fantastic! He took the time to explain all the options clearly and talked me through the whole process. Chris was super thorough, professional, and efficient — I really appreciated his help. Excellent service all around, he truly made my day!”

“Very friendly staff. I came here to get wipers fitted for half the price that Volkswagen offered (better quality too), including installation with my Halfords Motoring Club membership. I appreciate how the man explained what he was doing so I can do it myself next time. I barely had to wait any time at all- was in and out instantly.”

“My car broke down the mechanic fixed it and I always come here to get my car bulbs changed. They are professional and very helpful I appreciate their help and support.”

“I've got to say the staff at this Domino's are second to none. Friendly, consensus and happy to help. The location is immaculate through and they even provide a sitting area. I notice regular temp checks being conducted on the ingredients as well. Thank you one and all, "I'll be back"!”

“Great place to get your nails done. The staff are really friendly and professional and mad my short nails look fantastic. I had the Hunky Dory Shellac gel manicure done and I'm very pleased with the result. There's lots of colours to choose from. You can have a drink as you have your nails done and the lattes are really nice. This is the second time I've been here and plan to come back in the future. I'd recommend this place to my friends.”

“Thank you to Veronika and Florin today on getting us seen to so quickly as we was on a tight turn around. Always so friendly and helpful. Fantastic customer service”

“Iceland stores have a very special borderline liminal vibe. Perfect atmosphere for buying snacks you wouldn't normally consider appetising.”

“I went in to Iceland today, my ms was giving me trouble so was draining to shop and get buses. Some angel of a lady who works there I think her name is Laura but not 100 percent noticed I wasn't right plus noticed I was upset and this beautiful human being offered to pay for a cab for me , what a kind caring and compassionate lady we had a moment and I will never forget her heart. I declined the cab but the amazing man who stands by the door pushed my trolly to the bus stop. I jst want to say thankyou I Will remember your empathy and kindness and just want to let you know your both amazing ❤️”

“All of the workers were very attentive, asked me a couple times if I needed help whilst i`m was looking for the object. the cashier was was very nice, they would be very friendly. I totaly recommend this shop as it is very welcoming.”
