An excellent,"first class", good value lighting provider. Very competitive prices and some very ornate/interesting pieces. I'll be heading back to these guys next time i'm in birmingham.

Thanks again!

TravelZoo is probably my favourite travel website/weekly email. The great thing about these guys is that they put in the hard graft to go out and source some pretty amazing deals. Most of the deals you find in their top 20 are exclusive to travelzoo and can't be found anywhere else on the net. Best deals i've ever found:

- RTN flights to New York for £189

- 1 week 5* All inclusive in Egypt (including flights) for £300 (kinda makes you wonder what the other guests in the hotel will be like though!)

Highly recommended.

Excellent budget accommodation in the heart of Oxford. If you're a tourist visiting Oxford and you're on a budget, this is probably the place for you. Dorms are cosy, but comfortable. Staff are friendly and breakfast is free! Other facilities include - bar, pool table, kitchen, restaurant, clean toilets + loads of travel information for people visiting the UK.

You can have 2 very different experiences at the Loft Bar in Clapham.

Experience 1 (the preferred option) - Sunday Roast and a bottle of South African Red. The roasts are 50% off on Sunday and the wine selection is actually very good. If i had 1 complaint, they do seem to run out of roast chicken around 4pm every Sunday. Order more chickens guys! The atmosphere is very chilled out on Sundays and you're guaranteed a seat. This isn't traditional pub dining, but it's decent nonetheless.

Experience 2 (only for the brave) - Friday night at the Loft are pretty hectic. It attracts a relatively chic crowd (compared to Inferno's) and the do good cocktails. Unfortunately, seating areas are limited so it gets VERY busy in here. It's even pretty tough to get enough room on the dance floor to throw down some decent shapes.

All in all, a solid 4 stars.

Often regarded as one of the finest restaurants in London, Chez Bruce in Wandsworth is an absolute treat. 5 star dining on the fringe of Wandsworth Common. As the reviewers below mention, you can eat here affordably (dinner is very expensive mind). A 3 course lunch special will set you back £25 - Fois Gras, Tuna steak, Fresh mussels.... you'll get it all here.

Probably the best restaurants i've eaten in while i have lived in London. Possibly the best restaurant i've been to in the UK. If i could give 6 stars, i would.

Awesome shop. I could spend hours in here up in the Attic! Fantastic vintage furniture all at reasonable prices.

A decent Indian restaurant on Clapham High street. The Clapham Tandoori is chic, centrally located and reasonably priced. Does it beat Maharani? No. Does it beat Golden Curry? Probably.

Recommended dishes - Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Sag, Bombay potatoes and Lamb madras. All were great.

The best thing about Tom’s place is the breakfast. Try the bacon sandwich with homemade ketchup. If you’re hungover, this is like a shot of life into your body. Friendly staff and when you look at the menu, i guarantee you that you will want to order EVERYTHING.

Woahhh Nelly! These are good burritos. But watch out, it would appear Freebird have some competition on Rupert street now. A malay/thai curry place has setup shop RIGHT opposite the burrito stand. Haven’t tried it yet, but i wonder how this will impact business? Probably not much at all. These are the best burritos in town hands down.

One of the better fitness first gyms in SW london. Decent sized changing rooms and a good space for weights, spinning and a dance studio. My gripe - Fitness First should really give you free towels. £1 a go! You must be joking!
