I finally made it to Assaggini yesterday for lunch with a friend who also writes for Our Man On The Ground and has her own great Blog.  Juan, the very hospitable manager has put together a very professional and delightful team who looked after us extremely well.  We love the ambience which is fresh, clean and trendy.  This part of London around Haymarket and Lower Regent Street was crying out for some decent restaurants.

I visited the Cuckoo Club in London's Mayfair yesterday evening to do a review of their excellent restaurant.  It is very eclectic and international with a youngish crowd.  I think we may possibly have been the only Brits there last night.  The girls at the table behind us spoke only French and a well-known US actress arrived a little later and sat just across from us with her boyfriend and friends.

One Aldwych in London’s West End is currently offering a special Royal Wedding Package.

Guests staying over the long holiday weekend will enjoy accommodation for two, breakfast and dinner.  You will be welcomed with champagne and a mini traditional wedding cake and can even enjoy watching the event on the day in their private Screening Room.  However, the hotel is located very close to the Processional Route should you wish to see it “live”.
