I am in London for a few days, yet again. We've been out today around Crystal Palace and called into the White Hart in the Triangle for a small snack. I recommend the squid with chilly sauce and lime.
It must be about 20 years since I was last in the Central Bar on Half Moon Lane in Gateshead. Back then it was arguably a place not to be visited too often. I was back there on Thursday for a leaving do. The party was in the private function suite on the top floor with a great view over the railway. Worth a visit.
I met up with some friends on Wednesday evening. The venue chosen was The Tilley Stone, a Wetherspoon's pub on Jackson Street, Gateshead. Pleasant enough but very busy for a Wednesday evening.
