Babur To Go

The chef used to run a Michelin starred restaurant and the food is fresh and traditional. Would recommend highly the home made ice cream in many interesting flavours. Also very affordable.

This is my favourite restaurant in London. I would recommend going for lunch and ask for the Dim Sum menu ideally on Sat or Sun. They also do other menus 1. Buffet 2. Chinese a la carte 3. Hot Pot 4. Chinese in chinese (only if you can read Chinese but seems to have extra stuff on it).

This is the more expensive sister of the Babur to Go take away. An up market multi-award winning Indian restaurant. Not cheap but high quality. They do a Sunday Buffet which is more reasonable but if you want the really good food then go a la carte.

Low key bar and restaurant but very cheap. They do basic food including breakfasts and have a great selection of drinks. It's open 24 hours a day and you might see a few local alcoholics in there but it's quite safe and the service is good.

Very old traditional ballroom. You will need to check to see what is on. I understand that many films have been shot here and it's one of the few remaining places in London.
