This is a must visit destination if you are in the London area, this place is stuffed full of interesting things to do and see from exhibitions to a permanent collection of such interesting and historic documents such as the magna carta and Lindisfarne gospels, the diary of Captain Scott and a the original manuscript for The Ballad of Reading Gaol written by Oscar Wilde while incarcerated in the institution of thesame name. Housed in a beautiful building which also contains a cafe and a gift shop as well as the famous reading rooms which any use for sudy and research this an absolutely fantastic and free london destination whih cannot come highly recommended enough.

Odeon Panton Street is centrally located with a good and varied scheduled of films that is much more varied than some of the other centrally located Odeons. I saw the excellent argentinian film XXY here which I highly recommend by the way. Prices as I think another reviewer pointed are as expected for central London although not as high as Odeon Leceister Sq. The decor and general appearance of this Odeon however leaves much to be desired and could do with a serious overhaul. But all in all a good place to see slightly more varied fodder than the usual mulitplex fayre and in a great location.

This little known gem is a real Aladdins cave of Natural History. Tucked away neatly round the back of the UCL building this impressive collection contains such gems as a Wolly Mammoth Tusk from the last Ice Age , Dodo bones, dinosaur skeleton, pickled moles and the skeleton of the now extinct Quagga. A must see for anyone interested in Natural History or evolution. Admission is free although it is usually only open betwen 1pm-5pm weekdays so you may have to plan your visits.

The Camden branch of BK is very much typical of any branch. Clean enough with somewhat helpful and friendly if a little rushed staff and the usual menu options and choices with varying special offers and promotions running at any given time.
Burger King in my opinion serves better hash browns and fries than Mcdonalds but their coffee is worse so steer clear you have been warned.
Also the prices seem to be a little higher here than Mcdonalds but maybe thequality of ingredients reflects that slightly, I don’t know.
The decor isn’t quite as bad as Mcdonalds but it could still do with a complete overhaul, it just isn’t pleasant to eat your lunch in a place reminiscent of a young offenders institution.

All in all it’s very run of the mill stuff but if the Kings your thing then this isn’t a bad branch to visit.

Profile bar is the home of Gaydar radio and in my opinion they chose wisely. A stylish modern bar spread over three floors with good looking bar staff who really know how to mix a drink, this is an excellent choice for a classy night out on the Soho scene.
Bar prices are definately on the high side but that is definately reflected in the quality and choice of drinks available, Profile specialises in cocktails I personally recommend the champagne cocktail with brown sugar it’s rather lovely.
The atmosphere is cool if a little sceney but thats the fun of the place, you come here for a bit of escapism, to people watch tosee and be seen.
It’s definately a classy clientele patronising the joint though so make a bit of an effort with your garb if you want to feel comfortable.
Entrance is free at Profile, you can throw shapes on the dance floor, drink fab cocktails, listen to cool tunes, and ogle the eye candy and they even serve free pizza on the top floor some nights!!
A highly recommended (and stylish) night out.

Pasta House is an unassuming looking italian restaurant situated on Grays Inn Road in the the heart of Kings Cross and very closely situated to St Pancras Eurostar international rail station.
The restaurant has a spacious air to it although the decor looks a little dated, think fake plastic grapes, faux panelling and carnations in the type of cheap little vases old ladies usually collect. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly waiter and seated quickly, the service was adequate in terms of the time they took to bring our food and drink to the table although if I wanted to be picky I’d say they could be a little speedier.
The wine list was reasonale if pretty limited and we went for a bottle of Soave which turned out ot be a mistake it was frightfully sharp yet managed to taste watery all at the same time. Absolutely disgusting although it was more palletable when paired with food.
The food itself is fair enough but terribly bland, I’ve had more authentically italian food from generic chains like Bella Italia and certainly more flavoursome fare there than at Pasta House.
But the prices are fairly reasonable and given its central location I can see how it manages to get away with it.
I certainly wouldn’t recommend a visit though and I for one won’t be returning anytime soon.

Saharaween is an eclectically decorated fragrant sliver of Moroccan ambienced tucked away down Panton Street in the heart of the capital.
Fragrant smoke from the hookah pipes wafts and curls its way out front enticing you in to its low light, fabric draped jewel hued depths.
Food is fine, typically moroccan fare, nothing outstanding and not the best of that nations cuisine I’m sure but that’s not really the point of Saharaween.
The point is that among all the chain restaurants and gastropubs with their uninspired decor or the stiff formal overhyped and overpriced offerings from superchefs such as Ramsay, Oliver et al here is somewhere right in the heart of the capital where people can come and be themselves, kick back on the low sofa’s with a bunch of their good friends and relax, enjoying the relaxed bustle and convivial atmosphere due in no small part to the congenial waiting staff who will make you feel like this is your second home even if it is your very first visit.
Prices are fair too with the restaurant often running specials on the board outside and although it is fairly packed you should always be able to find a table as there is a dining area downstairs also with intimate curtained booths.

This is a very special restaurant, its never going to set the world alight culinary speaking but for ambience and atmosphere and colour this place is five stars.

Fly nightclub is an impressive place. Spread over three floors with an immense sound system pumping out house and techno music, a strobe light show and scantily clad dancers this is definately a place for any self respecting gay guy to see and be seen.

The door staff are friendly and seem to be in possession of a sense of humour which was a pleasant suprise used as we are to bitchy or surly door staff who seem determined not to let anyone in to their establishment.
The entrance fee did sting a bit but no more so than usual London club prices and considering the great night out we had I feel it was a fair price to pay.

Now to the main attraction, the eye candy on offer is is eye wateringly hot, the floor in the main part of the club becoming absolutely rammed with fit muscled shirtless men towards the latter part of the evening.

The decor is pretty cool and minimalist with lots of metal,mesh and chrome and the toilets are pleasant and cleaner than most. Bar prices leave a bit to be desired and there is the usual selection of drinks on offer althouh none of them are particularly cheap but I think it’s a fair trade off for a night of great beats and grinding with hot and sweaty muscle guys.

Fly comes highly recommended, I had a higly enjoyable night there during my stay in Toronto and of course I must mention that this was the infamous “Babylon” nightclub from the Queer as Folk series although no back room shenanigans were in existence when we attended unfortunately!

Fly is a superb night out clubbing, I will definately be revisiting on my next trip to Toronto.

This place is perfectly adequate for a lunch break when shopping nearby or a dinner with friends or lovers before a night out.
Food is cosy, comfortable and warm with a sufficiently italian flavour which given the fact this place is a chain is no small feat.
Service can leave you tearing your hair out, the timewe visited we had a particularly annoying waitress who was never around when required but always seemed to be there when there was no need.

Decor leaves much to be desired although there is a certain quaint charm in the tacky retroesqueness of the 70’s style decor.

Prices are more than affordable it is possible for two people to have a three course lunch here plus a bottle of wine to share for well under £40 and considering the location that is nothing short of outstanding.

I have eaten out at several branches of this popular chain and I would not hesitate to return, principally for the outstanding value of the restaurants.

Salierie is a top class eaterie perfect for an intimate pre theatre lunch or dinner before catching a show at one of the many nearby theatres.
Service is as near to perfection as you could require, the waiters attentive but never overbearing and the food is light and uplifting constructed with complete attention to detail.

Pricing is more than reasonable considering the quality of the cuisine and you may even catch one of the specials, as we ourselves were lucky enough to do.

The decor is a tounge in cheek pastiche on the rococo period with eloborate swirls and the odd nod to baroque detail as cleverly woven as the tapestry mural that adorns the back wall of the establishment.
Drinks are reasonable too, a perfectly drinkable sparkling rose, crisp and fresh can be had for just under £20.

We spent a very pleasant couple of hours at this charming little gem, eating. drinking and generally being convivial before leaving almost regretfully for the show we had booked tickets for.

All in all Salierie is a wonderful place to dine with a loved one and is perfectly located in the heart of theatreland and the shops and boutiques of Covent Garden for a pre theatre nibble or a place to relax after a hard day spent maxing the plastic.
