While you might not even know that there was a dining area within the very official, government-looking building, RIBA's sky-high ceilings and open floors make for a very unique dining experience that can accommodate either a pair or a large party. While a bit pricy, RIBA's dishes play off of the aesthetic craftsmanship of British architects, and even the starters are a thing of beauty. And while the food might not taste quite as good as it looks, the well-dressed and attentive staff make the experience all the more enjoyable. Overall, head to RIBA for a very unique dining experience that is well worth the cost, however, it's unlikely it'll become a weekly occurrence.

The lack of other…read moredecent Italian style delis around Spitalfields makes this a good option for this kind of lunch food. And at five pounds for a sandwich and a reasonable sized salad bowl, this is a better value lunch than a lot of places in the area and left me feeling full. Though you could grab almost the same thing from a nearby Tesco Express for less. There's a choice of about four different types of already made white bread rolls: fish fingers and salad, a tuna melt, roast beef, or the brie and turkey one which I went for. It was well made with a nice floury roll, lettuce that tasted crisp and fresh, more than one slice of turkey and some thick not-too-cheap-tasting brie smeared with just the right amount of cranberry sauce. It was a high quality sandwich, though there wasn't anything extra special or distinctive about it that would have made me really excited. The tuna mayonnaise and pasta salad was similar. It was well made with a good balance of reasonable quality ingredients and not too much mayonnaise, but not doing anything that distinctive. The deli has quite a few other salads in big bowls that looked really fresh and I think might have been a bit more distinctive. There are also Calzone pizzas and dishes with lasagne and pasta bakes which to me looked a bit small and prepared in advance (dried out?) but which might be good if heated up. If you're looking to have lunch somewhere with a bit of atmosphere or comfort, then head somewhere else. Here you can either take your food away, or try to pick a place amongst the suited masses sitting on the picnic benches nearby.

Reasons for being in Bishop's Stortford are few and far between. Reasons for staying there…read moreovernight are practically unheard of. However, if for some reason you do find yourself with a need to crash in the area and are not troubled by money matters - then the Down Hall Hotel is for you. The Down Hall Hotel is pretty amazing. I found it by mistake. Me and a friend of mine like to go for drives at 2am when the rest of the world is sleeping. We were driving around in the middle of nowhereville and saw this sign that was almost entirely hidden by hedges and looked as if it was made in 1842. It pointed out the direction to a hotel. We decided to follow it, hoping we'd be able to find a cup of tea. So we stumbled our way through the tiny country streets until eventually we came across the hotel. The Down Hall hotel doesn't look like your regular Holiday Inn. This place is a mansion. You feel like royalty in this place. Especially after you get a pot of tea and it costs you the same as a flight to Eastern Europe. I tend to not like places for the rich; as they tend to be pretentious. But this place was just kind of lovely. The rooms where you eat and drink look like places in 'The West Wing' where people used to have meetings. Just pure class, and great service. I've not stayed here - but we did go for a wander and managed to find a room that wasn't locked. It was pretty great. Spacious, comfortable and colourful. If you need to get away, then maybe this little place in Bishop's Stortford is just for you. The setting is idyllic and they even have some lovely grounds you can walk in. In fact, this place isn't too far from Stansted if you're looking for somewhere to stay the night before your flight (to Eastern Europe or otherwise)

Huge fan of the hotel. Simply a stunning venue that we didn't take full advantage of…read more Price: I don't know why this has 4 dollar signs. We went economical through a 3rd party booking agency and it came out to about $125USD/night. By far one of the better decisions all trip. For the price alone this should be a 5 Yelp star hotel. Sure it's an hour and a half outside of London but transportation was easy. I'll get to that later. Room: We were given a great spot overlooking the entrance. It was a great view. Size wise it was bigger than expected with little added amenities that were extremely thoughtful (think heated towel rack and bath robes). Transportation. It's easy. We didn't have a car but... 1. A short taxi ride to Sawbridgeworth Train Station was $13USD each way and... 2. A Day Pass (for the overground/train, the underground/The Tube, and the buses) was about $40 USD/person each day. Transportation runs until midnight each night and was surprisingly easy (save for a 3 hour delay on the train when it broke down one night). *Go to Sawbridgeworth instead of Bishop Stortford to save $8USD per taxi ride. **Leave after 9:45am (peak time) to get cheaper Day Passes Staff: Very good. Had a few hiccups but it's expected. I was also told by one chap that I could use a microwave to heat up some pizza (it was 1am) while another chap firmly put him down and said that microwave use was not allowed. Awkward exchange right there but the night audit's job is tough to begin with. Note: Local calls from your hotel room aren't free. Had to learn this upon checkout but no biggie. Buy a SIM for your unlocked phone and use it.

Enjoy innovative fine dining in East London, with the Rebel Society…read more Adventurous food and drink lovers will be glad to know that from May though to July, the Rebel Dining Society (founded in late 2009) is offering them to try, test and enjoy a selection of cocktails and dishes as part of the Green Hour. Hosted in the cosy and trendy surroundings of Vyner Street, in Hackney, the Green Hour wears its name well as the liquor of choice selected as the main ingredient to all cocktails, accompanying the dishes, is Pernod Absinthe. Directed by award-winning mixologists like Frenchman Charles Vexenat, guests will make their own cocktails, which will vary in texture and taste. All dishes are cooked by Rebel Dining Society founder Shay Ola himself , for people who are not afraid to try new things, put their preconceptions to one side and to enjoy themselves, he says. The Green Hour turns out to be an excellent two- in- one experience, as in addition to enjoying fine dining, it will give one the opportunity to possibly make new acquaintances or even network, thanks to seating layout, which can only make the whole experience lively and friendly. Shay Ola says on the matter: interactivity is a massive part of what we're about. We've always had situations where people meet other people and share ideas, opinions and enjoy each other's company. The atmosphere at the Green Hour is so pleasant that it even attracted the likes of actress Anne Hathaway and Dan Gillespsie Sells, frontman of pop rock band The Feeling, with a soundtrack left in the capable hands of mood-matching DJs. Obviously nothing too literal in there: with the preparation and degustation of five cocktails and five dishes, needless to say that the Green Hour does stretch quite a fair bit, so expect to make a night of it. Tickets for the Green Hour cost £40 per person and in Shay Ola's own words: in comparison with other fine dining events, for five delectable cocktails and five refined dishes it is a bargain. The Green Hour takes place every Wednesday of the week, at The Rebel HQ, 30 Vyner Street, E2 9DQ , until 6th July, 2011. Remaining dining dates are 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th June, 6th July.
