Looking for somewhere to eat or grab a drink in London…here are some of the places to go.

If it’s a sit down meal or a quick drink this will give you an idea of where some of the best places in London town are!

The Brompton Bar and Grill is first on my list and it’s a cracker to start with in 1980 it became Brasserie St Quentin, one of the first brasseries in London. Located at 243 Brompton Road is a historic restaurant site that has moved with the times over the last 60 years. Post 1945, it was The Brompton Grill, one of those great Cypriot/Greek restaurants, with booths for the discreet meetings of famous politicians and their mistresses; and with spectacular flambé dishes (steak diane and crepes suzettes) off a trolley.

A zinc topped bar dispenses a range of refreshing cocktails and a long list of excellent value wines from £10 a bottle. The seasonal menu from acclaimed chef Gary Durrant features mouth-watering starters and simple salads from £4.00, the signature fish stew (£14.00) and simply grilled meat from burgers to ribeye and veal.

Whether you want a sit down meal or want to meet a friend for a quick drink this place is not to be missed!http://www.bromptonbarandgrill.com/default.htm

The Second place I am going to show you is Rules Restaurant, established by Thomas Rule in 1798 making it the oldest restaurant in London located in Covent Garden!

It serves traditional British Food, specialising in classic game cookery, oysters, pies and puddings. Being London’s oldest restaurant which in it’s self is a great achievement it has had many famous names pass through its hallowed doors including Charles Dickens and Charlie Chaplin.

If you are lucky enough to have a driver, they will happily take your driver a drink as he waits for you outside, non alcoholic of course. This is a restaurant that has been in London for many years and is a great British establishment, so if your looking for traditional food at affordable prices then don’t miss out on this corker! http://www.rules.co.uk/

Looking for somewhere with more of a chilled vibe?? Then look no further The Troubadour is the place for you, founded in 1954 as part of the second great London coffee revolution.

It became a West London institution, but if that implies stuffiness, forget it. Through the 50′s and 60′s this was one of THE centres of London intellectual and artistic life. It’s where Private Eye was first produced and distributed; where the early Ban the Bomb meetings were held and where the Black Panthers met when they left Paris after the ’68 riots. The Troubadour was the first place where Bob Dylan performed in London. Paul Simon, Charlie Watts, Sammy Davis jnr and Jimi Hendrix have all played here. Richard Harris fell in love with his wife Elizabeth here (she wasdoing the washing up).  Led Zeppelin used to come and jam here after their Earl’s Court gigs. The list goes on, this is a place to grab a drink with friends, listen to some music if you please and chill out. Most recently it was also where Caggie from Made in Chelsea did her first gig!

The final place that I will be serving up for you is Vingt Quartet located on Fulham Road, this is one very cool place to go and grab some breakfast, lunch or dinner! The reason it’s so cool, is because it’s open 24/7! So, if your starving after a night out…why not! We had eggs benedict at 4am..can’t be many places that do that!

They serve all types of food from Eggs Benedict for Breakfast to Beer Battered Fish with mushy peas! So it’s suited for anytime of the day no matter what you’re looking for! As GQ Magazine put it “Whether you’re hiding with a breakfast-time hangover, lunching with a lover, taking tea for two or on a hot date, Vingt-Quatre is the place to go”
