Not long until Easter now! And what are your five favourite London places?

Destino - Check out the set menus, two courses for £9.99 usually. Amazing tapas. One of my favourite restaurants.

Monkey Island Hotel - Beautiful historic hotel located on Monkey Island, great for special occasions and they are always upgrading their facilities. It’s a treat to visit.

Queen Adelaide - Great choice of food, and the pub is big enough for you to always get a seat. Beer garden and friendly staff makes this an easy choice for a peaceful pint or meal.

Pane & Pasta - They do great sandwiches and pasta, but I love the cooked breakfast with a cuppa. Really friendly staff always make me feel welcome. Ulas and Hakan are great guys as are the staff they employ.

Jolly Gardeners -  This was my go to place for Sunday lunch when I lived round the corner. It has a great interior, lovely cider and board games to while away the time.
