We had a strange experience here last Saturday evening. We went into the Lexington store, looked at the menu and stood at the counter. The guy behind the counter ignored us and kept chatting to customers (mates?) Then another member of staff came in with some foodâ¬¦ and a pair of old trainers on a tray. The same tray.

Still we were ignored but given the food/ trainer combo it meant we could slip out quietly.

Despite the great reviews I canâ¬"t think that Iâ¬"ll be back anytime soon.

If you want to try how real Belgian waffles taste, but don't want to go to Belgium, check out PQ!

The coffee is soso, but the entire desert menu is really good.If you want to try how real Belgian waffles taste, but don't want to go to Belgium, check out PQ!

I purchased some Koala no March chocolate cookies, and when I got home I noticed that they had expired in late November last year. This was the same with some Pretz, but they expired at the beginning of December.

While these foods are not too badly affected by expiry dates, it's still poor business to put expired products on shelves and allow people to purchase them. There was some other food there that would be potentially dangerous after expiration. I wonder how fresh those products were?

One thing's for sure - I won't be going back.I purchased some Koala no March chocolate cookies, and when I got home I noticed that they had expired in late November last year. This was the same with some Pretz, but they expired at the beginning of December.

A small vintage/ second hand boutique on teh ground floor of carnaby street's kingly court. All the pieces in the shop are hand selected and the staff are as stylish as every item in the shop. Because it's such a small shop, every item is good, great quality, good design and very reminicent of the era they are from. There are plenty of lovely accesorries from matching shoes and bags to necklaces and leather hold alls. The staff are friendly and helpful and clearly have an eye for style. This isn't a cheap shop but it is not an over priced shop. Good particularly for more formal/evening/party vintage wear.
