Where to go out in central London? (Impossible question)?

I'd like to ask the impossible...





I'm going out for a curry with about 8-12 friends for my birthday and am looking for somewhere good, but not too pricey around the covent garden, leicester sq, soho area. I'm happy to book, but would NOT like to put down a deposit.





Any ideas?





Also, where could we go afterwards for drinks that would let in a group of this size but doesn't have massively loud music and maybe... maybe have somewhere to sit??? For at least a couple of us???





Any ideas?





Thanks

Reply:I can give you an impossible answer!





Was there or is there not a place called "Greens" that has oysters, steaks, chops and the lot .... and would be good for drinks ... I saw a photograph of it some time back and it looked so solid, so traditional, and so trustworthy .. it is downtown somewhere.... ...or you could go for drinks in a winebar? Is Fino's still there? Off Barkley Square?





For curry, why not just go to an Indian restaurant? That should be fun.





Sorry if this is misleading.

Salted Liquorice Craving?

I have a major craving for salted liquorice, belgian, dutch, swedish, it doesn't matter but the stronger the better. I work in Bloomsbury and walk to Charing Cross via Covent Garden does anyone know of any sweet shops/delis in this area that might have this good? (Not cybercandy I have already tried) I am really looking forward to your responses!

Salted Liquorice Craving?
Funny you should mention that , had friends over the other day and they are Dutch and they told me about that Liquorice. I would love to taste it myself. Should they go to Holland again i will ask them to bring some and send it to you:))
Reply:I've never heard of this before? Sounds interesting...
Reply:Ah yes "zoute drop". A required taste but once you like it there is no substitute.

Try this. It may be of help.
Reply:Salt? and liquorice? I didn't know you could get them to together.Could you not just buy some squigdy aussie stuff from Holland and Barratt and dip it in salt?





Or buy it online and keep it in your handbag. http://www.liquoriceheaven.com/default.c...

Dont forget 3 Savile Row, Apple's Headquarters
Reply:National gallery, the Tate (either one), Hyde Park (because its lovely!), Natural History Museum, Birdcage Walk which has a brilliant flower market on it. Thats all I can think of, they're a few places I went on a weekend up there!
Reply:The British Library has a display of original Beatles memorabilia, such as handwritten lyrics on napkins. Also, for general history, what about the British Museum? The Victoria %26amp; Albert Museum has clothing from many eras, including the 1960's, which may interest you.

Abercrombie and fitch store LONDON? please help!?

I planning a trip to london this summer and i really want to get some clothes from abercrombie and fitch , the new london store.





I know its somewhere around mayfair and soho, but if i was on oxford street how would i get there becuase im basically only going down oxford street and maybe covent garden.





Also does the London store do mens and kids clothes?





and finally how good and often are the sales there?





please help, ill choose a best answer :)

Abercrombie and fitch store LONDON? please help!?
There's an Abercrombie and Fitch down Savile Row...


If you're on Oxford Street, find "oxford circus" (Niketown, United Colors of Benetton, underground station) and then go southwards down Regent's Street. Turn right down Conduit Street, and Savile Row is the first street on the left! V. easy to find!!
Reply:It's sooo overpriced in London! Double what the prices are in America!


It's in Saville Row, someone will probably be able to give you directions.


It does womens and mens not kids.


Yes, there's sale stuff most of the time but it's still expensive!


Hope i can help!
Reply:Ive been there and its sooo funny, at the front of the store there was this topless greasy amercian guy, they only employee people who look like models and the place looks like a night club. Be warned that the sizes are tiny, my friend is a slim size 12 and couldnt fit in a large!
Reply:Its in Saville Row - You daft thing! - Chill Out...





Btw even when theres sales - Its still expensive!





One Abercrombie and Fitch plain polo costs £35.





Sale is usually 10%.. Not much if you ask me.
Reply:Its in Saville Row


It doesn't have any sales, because its the flagship store. They do stock mens and childrens clothing in there (:





Goodluck!

Reply:You'd be able to get a bus because Oxford Street and Savile Row where Abercrombie %26amp; Fitch is are both in Westminster

If London was a blank canvas?

what 3 things that are there now would you leave in and what 3 things would you leave out.........





for me leave in; Globe theatre, Tower bridge and Covent garden





Out; Oxford st, Buckingham palace and Marble arch.

If London was a blank canvas?
leave in: Hyde park,Camden town,Leicester square





take out: Buckingham palace,Tate gallery,downing street





-Jake
Reply:Sorry, Buckingham Palace and the Mall have to stay there or the tourists wouldn't want to bother. Trafalgar Square has to stay too, intact, so there.





Hmmm. The Globe is in the wrong place so has to be picked up and moved to the other side of Southwark Bridge, to behind the FT where it belongs. The Post Office Tower has had its day - I'd sell that to someone in Arizona, and please can I remove 30 St Mary Axe? "The Gherkin?" It's absolutely bloody vile. Sorry if we don't quite agree!
Reply:In: St.James Park, Soho, the South Bank.





Out:: The Trocadero, Madame Tussauds, Oxford Street

What is a nice, decent hotel in central London (at least 3 star) that is less than £150/night?

my friend is coming to london and she wants to be centrally located - knightsbridge, mayfair, chelsea, west end, covent garden etc. She needs a relatively inexpensive hotel - 3 star or 4 star

What is a nice, decent hotel in central London (at least 3 star) that is less than £150/night?
try one of those, they are of reasonable prices and quite central...
Reply:Jurys Inn located in Islington.





Its a 3 minute walk to Kings Cross and Angel St tube stations and cost me 40 quid a night.





VERY nice place with a NICE pub!
Reply:there r loads ask at uk airport
Reply:The Stand Palace....right on the Strand, great location.





http://www.strandpalacehotel.co.uk/
Reply:You have a LOT of choices. Consider B%26amp;Bs or hostels, too. Hotels in that area can be gotten for far less than 150 per night. Look on hotels.com, hostelbookers.com, etc. Do searches on the following: budget London hotel, cheap hotel London, etc.





Good luck. I've been to London, and all over England and Scotland over a dozen times. Cheers, K
