I went to Crazy Homies a couple of months ago and I was really impressed. From the outside the venue looks like a small American roadside caf. From the inside things are totally different! The food in Crazy Homies is excellent. Having been to many Mexican restaurants in London, this proved to be the most "authentic" one. The spicy pork tortillas, the taco salad and the chips with salsa were delicious. All the prices are reasonable and you can easily be stuffed for less than 25. The margaritas are a bit expensive on the menu and they might bump up your tiny bill but it's worth it! The service is also amazing. The staff is very friendly and professional and is willing to help you discover all the flavours of the Mexican cuisine! Crazy Homies combines fantastic authentic Mexican food with a funky setting and warm atmosphere and therefore it deserves five stars!

I've already been to the Play Room three or four times and always had a wicked night. Usually on Fridays and Saturdays it's dance/mainstream nights. On the other hand on Thursdays it's 60s or 70s themed nights. The atmosphere in the club is really diverse and unique. The club has the privilege of bridging the gap between gig and dinner date, club and live music, belly dancers and opera singers, so be prepared for everything! It's a club where you can dine, drink and be entertained all in one place and with great people around you. The decoration is brilliant and so is the lighting. The only thing that I should mention is that the service is bellow average and should definitely be improved.

"As Greek As It Gets" is one of very few restaurants in London that serve authentic Greek food. The food is properly cooked and the portions are "really Greek"! That is large because Greek food is about being generous. You have a good variety of meats for your "souvlaki", from chicken to sausage. Furthermore, prices are very reasonable (you won't be covered in grease!) and they make you want to order more. The decoration of "As Greek As It Gets" is a rather eccentric but also a lively mix of wooden floors, LCD screens and huge windows. The only thing that should definitely be improved is the service which is average. That's why, in my opinion, it gets only 4 stars. But at the end of the day, food is what really matters and since it's delicious, I reckon you'll love the place!

The acclaimed White Swan Pub and Dining Room, located in the heart of London, boasts a traditional pub with an elegant dining room upstairs serving good food with excellent service. Although you can eat from the pub menu, the restaurant on the first floor is White Swan's main strength. The main room is beautiful and neutrally decorated with mirrored high ceilings adding sparkle to it. The White Swan serves the very best in modern British and European cuisine and has a complete and regularly changing menu. Wine-lovers will also appreciate the massive wine list. Also, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The only thing that I didn't like was the portions which were a bit small, but on the other hand prices are really reasonable and therefore you can eat as much as you like! Definitely a very good choice!

Sticky Fingers is owned by Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones and his photographs adorn the walls as does a range of Rolling Stones memorabilia. The food at Sticky Finger is really good. It's pretty much American and they do all the normal stuff you would expect at an American restaurant. Starters range from the traditional nachos, Duck Wraps, sour cream and bacon, chicken fingers etc to highly creative dishes. Try the Smoked BBQ Chicken and the Cajun Chicken Fajitas which are delicious. The atmosphere is great and a bit informal and the staff very friendly. The music on the weekends is a mix of Rolling Stones and other rock classics and after a couple of pints you'll definitely rediscover the Stones!

Aphrodite Taverna is a fantastic little restaurant located on Hereford Road between Bayswater and Notting Hill. Aphrodite serves delicious Greek meals such as lamb, pork, Greek salads, vegetarians and taramasalata. Pantelis and Rosanna who run the place are extremely friendly and trust me; they know how to make you feel welcome. Pantelis cooks really great! All the prices are very reasonable for London and seating on the pavement on a sunny day is really a must! I reckon you're going to love the place!

Santorini Taverna is an excellent restaurant, serving a variety of Greek meals such as lamb, chicken, pork, Greek salads, olives, vegetarian dishes and pitta bread. Located on the famous Moscow Road in Bayswater, Santorini is one of the best Greek restaurants in London. The place is superb, the decoration really authentic and the waiters are friendly and helpful. For anyone not familiar with Greek cuisine, feel free to ask the staff at any time for some good suggestions! I would definitely recommend Santorini Taverna to anyone looking for delicious authentic Greek food at reasonable prices for London!

Fabric, founded by Keith Reilly and Cameron Leslie, was opened in October 1999 and since then is one of the most famous clubs in London. With its house, trance and funky beats, it is very clear why it's always packed out. Not that expensive at all something you wouldn't expect from a top spot like this, Fabric has a unique sound system which is probably one of the best in the UK. It's superbly crystal clear and stunningly loud as well! The tunes have the crowd going wild every Friday and Saturday so be prepared for long and wild nights! This is all without mentioning the late license the place has. Basically it's a 24 hour license so there's no need to close at 2 or 3am! It can (and should!) stay open 24/7!
