This is one of Simon's favourite restaurants in London. American BBQ at a reasonable price. NB you can't book at this restaurant and usually there is a 1 - 1.5 hour wait for a table which is usually ok as you can leave and go to the pub next door. They'll text you when your table is ready. You just need to go expecting to wait.

It's a bit further away from our local area but this is Nicola's favourite restaurant. It's great because the food is delicious, not too pricey and in the summer you can sit outside surrounded by plants. Just lovely.

One of my favourite places. There is a display of original manuscripts such as Handel's Messiah written by the composer, the Magna Carta (must be an early version of I think) and Leonardo Da Vinci's notebook amongst other treasures. Plus it's free!
