Oh, how I miss The Drayton Court Hotel (insert heavy sigh of longing)…read more Our experience while staying at The Drayton Court, when visiting London for the 1st time (09/23/2023 - 09/26/2023), really was perfect & made our 1st international vacation that much more special. What makes The Drayton Court so special? See below for all the "Special-ness Specs"-- -Such a charming boutique hotel w/ all the London vibes (front of building is so pretty! See pics/videos posted w/ this review) - Historic (built in 1893) but doesn't feel outdated - Only has 26 rooms so no issues w/ noise, room was very clean & had a comfortable bed - It's a boutique hotel AND a pub (Fullers) all in one! Very convenient to grab some food and drinks at Fullers pub & then head back to your room afterwards. - Also has a beer garden! - Close to the West Ealing station..w/in walking distance - Great breakfast served in the Sitting Room - All employees were so friendly & very welcoming! The Drayton Court Hotel is definitely a hotel that I highly recommend for anyone to stay or just to visit Fullers Pub for some tasty food and drinks. Till next time, Rebecca

Wish I'd been able to enjoy a meal on the first floor of the restaurant because it was lovely there. Maybe next trip. I meandered up to the rooftop which was well lit and warmed by large heaters. I ended up ordering a cider and enjoying the view of the London skyline at night. The cider was good but we decided to eat elsewhere. Hope to be able to visit Boundary again to experience the food!

Between the table of 4 who were next to me for 2hrs+ & 1 man sat opposite me who was there for…read more1.5hrs+, they chose to ask me to leave whilst I was waiting for my friend. You're better off going to The Hoxton/100 Shoreditch/Llama Inn hotel rooftops for fair service. I'm a regular at The Hoxton & I swear by their service standards & hospitality. I've been to Boundary a few times (alone & with a friend) but their staff's attitude on this last occasion isn't worth going back. In July, I was meant to meet a friend here after work, as they were on their way, I chose to order an appetiser, do some work & wait for him. The waitress came over at 6:27 to say her manager asked for laptops to be put away after 6pm, so I respected that and put it away at 6:30 & ordered a glass of wine. Whilst there, I was ordering water because it was 30C but I also had a focaccia. The waitress then came over to ask me to order more than just water if I wanted to stay which I found reasonable so I got a glass of rosè. As soon as I was done with my 1st glass of wine, she comes back to say her manager asked me to leave if I'm not ordering more, I was fine to order more wine and she then refused saying it wasn't enough.. She reiterates she was told to tell me to free up the table because I wasn't ordering enough & there were more people waiting downstairs who were likely to spend more. I literally called my friend & said I could order more wine until he arrives. She asked how long, I said 30mins & she goes that's too long & I just had to leave. I asked for her manager to come explain why I was being refused service in that way. Her manager (bald-headed dude) comes to say they expected me to stay for 1.5/2hrs max & I wasn't buying enough like the table next to me. So I pointed out the ONE guy in front of me who only had a beer the whole time who they never hassled & who I'd visibly spent more than by that point. None of that making sense to me, he tried to say I was told downstairs that I had a 2hr time slot, that NEVER HAPPENED. Had they SAID that on arrival downstairs or upstairs, I would've understood but since they didn't that raised even more alarms for me. He didn't contest it either but simply reverted back to insisting that I leave. Not even because they had a reservation but just because of an assumption. Ironically, my friend & I intended to have dinner, drinks & maybe try oysters when he arrived but they insisted that I just wasn't going to spend enough. That was insanely offensive because HOW do you know what we intend to spend? I would've at least understood if they said I should go downstairs to the other bar/restaurant or move to a smaller table upstairs or even that there was a reservation on the table but they insisted I just needed to leave based on some prejudicial BS. Seeing as there were other people around me doing similar to me or even spending less than my friend and I were going to spend that experience was crazy. I don't blame the waitress for relaying her manager's instructions but they had no justifiable reason to tell me to leave in the way that they collectively did. They singled me out for what I could only assume was a discriminatory, presumptive and preferential reason. I'm moreso shocked that they refused to even take my order when I asked to buy more wine, how is that even possible? Doubt they care but I have no intention on stepping foot in that building again. They could've simply asked me to move downstairs or to a smaller table until my friend arrives. Asking me to leave like that was crazy! No-one should let this kind of behaviour slide. Seems the staff there are delusionally comfortable about articulating a prejudice in front of surrounding customers and still have a line of people waiting to support their business. I encourage others to not be complacent and simply ignore such encounters. We're in August, even after sharing this review with them, The Boundary's public response was to double-down on their indifference with zero accountability. Judging by other reviews, I'm glad I'm not the only one that experienced their management's unprofessionalism over the years. I can accept their time limit (unusual as it may be, I've worked at other venues with capacity issues) but I cannot accept the unapologetic lack of transparency, consistency & poor communication that transpired.

Whether that be to the cosy pub on the ground floor or the proper restaurant on the first, I'm utterly game. Now, could someone clarify for me where the 'vertical garden' is? Is it really that growth of green shrubbery covering the exterior?!

A group of us were intrigued so we stopped by to check the place out. We were there early in the afternoon, so it was not that crowded, and we did not actually check out the menu, but we had a great time nevertheless.

Bread and Roses hosts bands in the evenings and has a comfortable outdoor beer garden in the back. I hope to have the opportunity to return soon.

I went to the Bread & Roses last night for a theatre performance that a friend was putting on, and…read morewhat a great pub! I live in the area and am very surprised not to have heard of it before. The staff were very friendly, and the prices weren't bad. I found it a bit tricky to find, it is quite far down a road that looks residential, but that just makes it an even better slightly hidden gem, and they have a lot of fringe performances, readings and comedy shows - there were two events on just last night! And a good number of people at the main bar in the pub itself as well. Room hire is available and worth looking into for any performances you may want to put on, otherwise support local theatre or even just have a nice drink in a fairly laid back, friendly pub. Looks like the main room had just been repainted as well, with wet paint signs up everywhere. Plus, it's owned by the Battersea and Wandsworth Trades Union Council. I think that's pretty cool!

Sometimes in London, south of the river is the way to go. At a recent dinner out with a friend, we…read morehad an awesome meal in a hotel/pub in Wandsworth called the Brewer's Inn. Even though I have passed by this establishment several times before, I've somehow never noticed the Brewer's Inn. Well, I've noticed it now, and it won't be forgotten. My meal started off with an extremely tasty salad of grilled halloumi courgette patties with a ginger chili dressing. This was a perfect blend with excellent seasoning and the results were great. My main course of a leek and chicken pie also hit the spot. My friend thought his hake main course was delicious. A desert of a highly recommended warm raspberry crumble and custard sauce completed the memorable dining experience. Of course the local ales only added to the dinner! The atmosphere in this Wandsworth eatery is warm and interesting in both of the two dining rooms as well as the bar. Adding in the super friendly service and you can call the Brewer's Inn a winner!.

The lobby and ground floor has many different charming places to sit, with fireplaces and comfortable chairs. Great to catch up on work or just read a book. The attached restaurant was a wonderful spot for breakfast and we also enjoyed cocktails there on a couple nights. The service was always great. I highly recommend the Holmes Hotel and will be sure to visit them again!
