Momos in Kings Cross

 

We were in London recently, staying in the Kings Cross area. After a bit of a search we found Momos where we turned up without a reservation. Although crowded, they still fitted us in. Being outdoors was helpful as we were experiencing the back end of a heatwave. First class Greek food. The photos speak for themselves.

Ravensworth Arms

 

The Ravensworth Arms is a pub/restaurant in the village of Lamesley in Gateshead, North East England. We had lunch there yesterday. It is worth a visit though it is busy and popular with older couples and funeral parties (at least when we were there!) A full menu for pub lunches is available.

There is a good area for sitting outdoors.

Borough Market

 

One of my favourite places to visit in London is Borough Market. If you love the sight and smell of good food, this is the place to be. To get there take the Tube to London Bridge. It's a couple of minutes' walk to get to the market.

National Liberal Club dining room

 

During one of our recent visits to London we were able to book a table in the dining room of the National Liberal Club. Fantastic food!

Fish and chips on the Tanfield Railway

 

Snapped stuffing my face with fish and chips! Yesterday we visited the Tanfield Railway in Gateshead, in the North East of England. We were attending an event that was organised by a company called Fox and Edwards. They specialise in putting on events at heritage locations. In this instance it was fish and chips on board the Tanfield Railway.

Good fun had by all. I will post up the video soon.

Visiting Regent's Canal

 

We have been to London twice in recent weeks and on both occasions we stayed in a small hotel in Kings Cross. The Regent's Canal is just a short walk away.

Lunch at the Terrace

 

The National Liberal Club in London is a members' only club. I joined it last year but only in the past couple of weeks have I been able to make use of my membership. Across two recent trips to London, I've been able to make three trips to the Club. Dressing up for dinner or the various events is a must-do. In the photo above, we had lunch on the terrace overlooking the Embankment. Food is excellent but you can't just walk in off the street. You have to be a member to eat there or a friend of a member to sign you in.
