Cecconi’s

I remember when I first moved to South West London and my cousin took me to a bar in Chelsea. “Oh my god” she heard me mutter as we walked in. “Great isn’t it” she nodded at me. No. It wasn’t great, it was awful, full of tossers, one of whom said “it was great to see Asians drinking in Chelsea”.

This experience happened time and time again. I would be taken to a “fabulous place darling”

Imagine that this survey was of British men, not traditinally known

Italian Gem

If you are near Farringdon around lunchtime please pop into Piada for a delicious lunch.

They specialise in Piadine which is a filled flatbread – my friends and I have tried almost every Piadine on the menu

Bakery with a bar!

What a combination!  This is the genius of the most amazing Italian bakery in the world – Princi.
