Which celebrity would you love to see reviewing on Places?
Chefs from restaurants I love!
What would be your dream superpower be?
Having an instant travel portal — like the Tardis!
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Chocolate fondant and chocolate souffle — no matter how full I am, if these are on the menu, I will have to give them a try!
And where are your five favourite places in London?
Knights Templar Pub - This pub gets noisy when it’s busy, but the setting alone (it used to be the Union Bank) is worth a look!
Dragon Castle - Really, really tasty dim sum. Chinese restaurants aren’t generally known for their service but, for the price you pay, it’s worth ignoring the staff and tucking right in.
Vinopolis - A great place for sampling wines from around the world. Just make sure when you finish the tour, you’re not suckered in by the first table of wine — walk around to the different regions first.
Counting House - This pub is set in what used to be Prescott’s Bank, built in 1893, so it looks pretty grand as you walk in. Their pies are delicious, too!
American Bar - This swanky, atmospheric bar has some of the best cocktails one could have! Drinks are pricey, but there’s live piano that doesn’t overpower the room so you can have a fantastic evening chatting the night away.
