They have a daily menu including a hot main, a soup as well as a tart served with or without salad. You have to be quick for the salads (currently a selection of two, here's hoping they'll add more soon). There's also a good choice of sandwiches, all reasonably priced.

They also stock a large range of herbal teas, soft drinks, coffees and snacks.

The Wallace Collection is a free museum in a beautiful townhome near Manchester Square. I visited…read morewith my husband about two weeks ago to see their current temporary exhibit (more on that below), and we had a great visit. The museum is located in the former townhouse of the Seymore family - the Marquesses of Hertford. The museum is named after Sir Richard Wallace, who built a collection of fine and decorative arts from the 1th to the 19th centuries along, with the Marquesses of Hertford. The collection opened to public view in 1900. The townhouse itself is gorgeous. From the second I walked in and saw the staircase in the Entrance Hall, I knew I was in for a treat. With several gorgeous rooms, the museum is worth visiting to see a beautifully preserved 19th century London townhome. Each room has beautiful chandeliers, furniture, paintings, sculptures, and more. The museum also has a collection of European arms and armor, which take several rooms to display. In addition to their permanent collections, they also show temporary exhibitions. Right now and through November 29, their exhibit is "Winston Churchill: The Painter," which is the first major retrospective of Sir Winston Churchill's paintings since his death and brings together more than 50 of his works (half of which come from private collections). While visiting the museum is free, there is a fee to visit the temporary exhibit (20 pounds for adults, 18 if you buy online ahead of time). The exhibit was incredible and well worth a visit. I learned a lot about Churchill that I didn't know prior to the exhibit (most of what I knew about him concerned his political leadership), and I found many of his paintings quite beautiful and moving. Whether you're visiting for a temporary exhibit or just to see the townhouse and its permanent collection, the Wallace Collection is incredible. It's a special museum in London, well worth including on an itinerary for a trip to London.

I walked through the rest of the collection, which is almost overwhelming. There is a lot to see there. You really do need to use the audio guide, because there is so much art in a small space. I also appreciated the staff. They were helpful, without being intrusive. One of the things I enjoy the most was that people there were truly interested in art. They stopped and looked. Unlike the crowd at the National Gallery, which just went up to a painting, took a photo, and left without ever even looking at it.

It provides a hot bed of ideas and networking solutions for small businesses that are just beginning. In a nutshell, a business rents the space on a monthly basis and comes and goes. Leaving nothing behind. They provide printing, faxing, internet, phone and post facilities with the rental price. In addition, there is a self catering kitchen and it is a great community that shares in order to advance themselves and their businesses. As you walk into the hub, there is a gallery space which at the moment has a moving exhibition on life in Congo. Photography and quotations from its inhabitants, lives which are almost palpable.

Especially for those late night events, you're almost stuck across the river if you don't have a car or a friend willing to stay sober and give you a ride. The park in the evening is also not well lit, so if you are relying on public transportation to take you home, be careful walking in the dark because you're going to have a bit of a trek.

Lots of faces, with Olympic athletes, world class sporting personalities, politicians , soap stars and sports broadcasters , Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson to Keith Lemon [ what has he got to do with sports? ] and all brilliantly compered by Martin Bayfield. And the stream of celebs presenting the awards kept it fresh and pacy. The venue is amazing. 1800 of us enjoyed a drinks reception and had a top class dinner and there was room to spare. I have done lots of dinners like this; industry presentations, testimonials, charity nights etc but none compare to this experience; the imposing sound and impressive lighting made sure everyone paid attention to the awards ceremony; the food was amazing considering how many they catered [ even Jamie Oliver praised it ] and the service kept the event flowing with pace. The Sports Industry Awards are a special night out. I was priviledged to be invited. The whole evening was a wow. And the venue and the organisation were amazing.

We had a couple of coffees, a cream tea (without the tea), and one of THE BEST sausage rolls I've ever tasted (but I'm America - living here 6 years, so please assess that statement as you see fit). We ate on a bench right outside the folly, but I recommend continue walking for about 60 seconds and there are some more benches with wide open views! Only 4 stars as I live in north London and I'm not sure it's worth a way out of the way trip, but definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

Around four years ago my friends and I walked past here on one of the green chain walks around South London...and we all thought it was a shame that this place was all boarded up and empty. Yesterday, we were walking in the other direction (this time on the capital ring walk...) and it was a lovely surprise to see that it is all in use. Now they have a café on the ground floor, selling cakes, teas and pretty decent ice-cream. Apparently if you pay £2.50 you can climb up to the top and explore, and hear about the history of Severndroog. The lady in the tea room also mentioned that it is possible to hire the whole place for events / weddings. Apparently Severndroog Castle's opening times are 11:00am - 3pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays Oct - March. So pop in if you're wandering along one of South London's pretty walks.

Trying to be polite, this Holiday Inn isn't like a Holiday Inn. It has a very futuristic design and must be one of the newest hotels in this chain. The interior is in good repair and the modern feel extends to the decor inside as well. The room we were in had some very chic light fittings and ceiling uplighters. The toilets had automatic fittings and the Dyson Airblade to dry your hands. The event ran smoothly with the staff efficiently blending into the background but there to facilitate matters as and when necessary. The room was a good size and the dancefloor was big enough to accommodate the revellers as they strutted their stuff. Overall, it was a nice venue for the reception.
