whole foods
Okay so whole foods is the fancy american supermarket that has opened in kensington. I recently read that because of the credit crunch this place has suffered with profits. Im not surprised as the cost of some of the basic items is extortionate. Tesco Finest and Sainsburys Taste the difference of even m and S quality is even cheaper especialy in the fresh food department.

I did find some lovely items in whole foods though, being a vegetarian it is hard to find vegetarian parmesan and certain eggless or alergen free specialist foods, in whole foods i found lots of vegetarian and health type foods. Soya cheese in lots of differnt flavours and eggless products which I certainly couldnt find in my local sainsburys/tescos.

The queues at this place can be a bit annoyin but they have a fast track one for 5 items or less, and they even reduce 5p of your bill if you dont want a carrier bag. Its not much, but at least you feel like your doing your bit for the environment, and getting 5 p refund.

Some imported items were cheaper then the local produced ones such as refried beans for mexican food.

The ice cream and hot chocolate at this place is brilliant. The price however is extortionate. I guess haagan daaz can get away with these sort of prices as it is located smack bang in leicester square. There is frequently large queues outside which often stretch out far in the middle of the night, often there is a 30 min wait!! Once seated the waitors seem to take a long time to come to take your order, especialy if there is a large group, often I find that they try to rush you out of the place to let other poeple in. I suggest if one wnats some quality ice cream they should visit roundevous cafe which is across the road from this place.

This place despite being in a fairly bad area is brilliant place for a mid week rave. Frequently used to go to it on a wednesday night when I was a student at the nearby kings college of london. Drinks here are really cheap, especialy if it is a student night, where 50 shots of vodka are only one pound each, yes i said one pound each. This place has got some very negative press in the past, but it is a great place with great music. The queuing up can be a bit of a pain and also collecting jackets a the end of the night. One thing i like about this place is that you can totaly get lost in there, which is a good thing if you are trying to keep away from certain peopel.
