First day in London in more than 20 years and we were excited to introduce our girls to Harrods!…read more As we had not eaten and wanted a little treat to celebrate this graduation trip for our girls we decided to start at the Moet and Chandon Champagne bar located near the beauty section. We began with glasses of Moet and Chandon 2016 Grand Vintage which was exceptional while our girls enjoyed cocktails! Then we ordered some light bites : the cheese ans charcuterie plates that were very generous for the price ( 21 GBP for three selections) and the truffle Brie was delicious!! It was served along side seeded crackers . We also enjoyed the bread plate and the caviar selection! It was the perfect amount of food and I rounded it out with a glass o my Moet Rose! A great start to our London trip

My drink of choice is champagne. Like me it's fun and bubbly. We're a vibe. Together we make a…read moreperfect pair. I was in London at the end of January. I've discovered I like Europe this time of year no lines and no waiting. Hence, I walked in and found a seat at the bar no reservation. I was fortunate to meet a pretty blonde dripping in Chanel (it's Harrods). We kept each other company while sipping champagne and nibbling on small bites. Their small bites are very nice. I highly recommend drinking champagne at Harrods. It's the least expensive thing you can buy:).

Nice terrace area to be found via the Drury Lane Theatre…read more I think it is a new area. The terrace gives you a great people watching view above the streets. Great place to chill out whilst the people below busy themselves with their day in Covent Garden whilst you treat yourself to a glass of bubbly. Also has inside area if you don't wish to sit outside

Service was polite but quite pushy, which is not surprising for the bougie (North American slang…read morefor bourgeois, maybe even a bit snobby) nature of the place. I came in with three others at around 9pm, and the place was pretty empty, even despite its small size. There was a pair sitting at the bar, as well as another group seated at a table. The bartender told us the place would close at 11pm, but there was another guy (probably a manager) buzzing around who seemed extremely antsy to get people out. He closed the door around 10pm, whisked around trying to rush the clean-up process, and kept whispering things to the bartender. He killed the atmosphere of the place. Trying to get people to leave in order to save money is only going to get you poor recommendations and results in the long-run.

We had a few champagne cocktails (strawberry and passionfruit bellinis) plus some apps which were decent. I had this one awesome cheddar cheese and the chorizo.

The Champagne Bar by Searcys 1847 is located in the prestigious Village section of Westfield. The bar sits 34 and is a welcome break if you have been shopping for hours on end.... ideally I like to soak my feet in the finest champagne bubbles but in this economy I have to satisfy myself with just drinking the stuff...Security also pointed out that 1) they didn't like my feet and 2) you aren't meant to soak your feet in champagne (hey who knew right!!) All kidding aside...if you want somewhere nice to sit to take a load off and consume something alcoholic and bubbly - not some mamby pamby iced soya latte coffo mocca cocco blah blah blah - then this is as nicer place as any in Westfield. Nice champagne and good bellinis...it is pricey (but not remortgage you house pricey) but it is champagne so what exactly were you expecting....this is not pound-land people. The only thing I cannot get over is that lush (married) ladies of a certain age tend to take a gulp or two of three of the fizzy stuff....get tiddly-er...and try to chat up the staff...why-oh-why-oh-why....did I not discover this endless source of cringe worthy entertainment sooner. I cannot get sued for saying this right...damn I should have said "allegedly"...

Stop off for champagne of course!! :) Remember that this bar IS in the middle of the shopping centre, and balancing on stools doesn't make it the most comfy of destinations...but this is all improved with a happy hour price-list. I am always partial to a little glass of bubbly...but happy hour at Searcys made it almost obligatory for us to stop off and try the rose. Champagne that works out cheaper than wine is always a good idea.

This bar is downstairs in the Crowne Plaza…read more I came here for afternoon tea while I was in town with a Virgin Experiences voucher. Yeah I also thought it was a bit strange that a bar was serving afternoon tea. Keeping in mind that I had afternoon tea that week 4 times, this was just an ok set. Sandwiches were decent, sweets were ok. Teas were excellent. Great service, of course. The furniture was nice but a bit uncomfortable to sit at for tea. It seemed more appropriate for a hookah lounge. The one thing that really sticks out in my mind was there were these random flies that occasionally would buzz around. Where exactly were they even coming from?

This was unexpected. Pop music, caged private booths (yes, I said caged - as the private rooms are…read moreliterally couches / chairs with fancy little pillows and blankets in a fucking cage), solid booze selection. Ended up here accidentally while looking for a place open late - open until at least 2am. The drinks were a bit on the pricey side but the beers were around 5 pounds - not the end of the world. The bar inside is classy and has a good amount of seating. Gorgeous bathrooms as well (I believe the bar is attached to a hotel). But outside, there's a path along which there are many private rooms that appear to be for bottle service. The bartender told us they are typically for those spending 30+ pounds but it was pretty dead late night on Thursday, so we snagged a "cage." I felt like I was sitting in Pier 1 - surrounded by animal print, hardwood, and cast iron. Really cool place to check out if you're in the area, but I probably wouldn't recommend it over the weekend as it sounds like things can get rather pricey and crowded.

We specifically came to try fish and chips, so we were lucky that The Mall Tavern was nearby. Each of us ordered fish and chips, and all of our plates were left nearly empty. My goodness, I have never had better fish and chips than here at The Mall Tavern. The fish was crispy, and the chips were perfectly salted to taste. I appreciate that chips in England are more like potato wedges than classic American french fries. Way less fried and way less salty, so you can enjoy the actual taste of the potatoes! I also ordered a side of Mac and cheese that we all shared. I don't know what kind of cheese(s) was used, but it was the perfect starter to our meal. For dessert, we had the sticky toffee pudding for the first time. It was hard not to order another one!! We came in for late lunch, so the restaurant was empty. I assume they are much busier at lunch and dinner time. I also enjoyed the selection of beer while we waited for our food to come out. Next time I'm in London, I'm returning here immediately.
