After coming to this cocktail bar quite a few times it has never really made a decent impression…read more It's so small and the downstairs is over-furnished for such a small space. You have to climb up the stairs to go to the toilet - not ideal once you've had a few cocktails. The music isn't great, there's no room to move as it gets so overcrowded and after waiting 15 minutes to be served the cocktails are mediocre. You can rent the upstairs for private functions but me and my friends recently accidentally crashed in on a 40th birthday function so if you do this, make sure the member of staff standing at the door is doing their job properly. This isn't much of a place for young people either, most people here seem to be middle-aged. Give this one a miss and go to that Firkin instead!

I really enjoyed my food and drinks here but unfortunately, my husband had an unsavory incident…read morewith an employee. When he left to go to the restroom and come back an employee put his hand on my husband's chest and tried to keep him from walking in the room and back to our table. The bar was not closed and many were still seated so I can't even say he was trying to ask him not to enter because they were closed. Even still, he could have used his words and instead chose to touch him. This really put a damper on the evening. The ambiance is really nice. I love the space. The decor and lighting make for a great evening experience. Outside of The Library, other Lanesborough employees were extremely friendly, with one even happily taking our photo.

Finally made it in for wine and nibbles, and am so happy I did!…read more Our group of 3 found a cozy candlelit table in the back, and order a selection of wines by the glass that were on offer and very reasonably priced, between £4.50-£5.50 per glass. The menu is small but has all the essentials that a wine bar should have- charcuterie and cheese, tapenade, bread olives etc. After one glass we decided to try a bottle, and on recommendation by the staff ordered a lovely red from the cote du Rhone region, which was lush and velvety and fairly priced at £17.50 (plus £5 corkage to drink in). Lovely atmosphere with very friendly and knowledgable staff, great spot for some casual drinks and bites!

Great neighbourhood wine bar. There are lots of well-priced wines that you can buy as takeaway or…read moreyou can drink in for £5 more. All of the wines are excellent value and there is a really interesting range of European focused wines to choose from(mainly French and Italian). They also have a really good lineup of local beers. The staff know everything on the shelves and will guide you in the right direction depending on what you like and budget. They also have wines by the glass that rotate regularly and are around the £4-6 mark. They are now doing a simple but really well-executed menu of food: mainly focused on charcuterie, cheese and different flavoured bruschettas. So similar to what the other wine bars are doing around London but a little bit better. Their burrata is large but disappears very quickly from the table... All of their cured meats are delicious too. If you need to get out of the house in the morning it's a great place to read a book/newspaper and enjoy a beautiful Italian roast coffee and some sourdough toast. You can also buy this bread to takeaway.

I'm so happy we have places like Mr Lawrence popping up nearby to improve options for drinking in…read morethe local area. What a gem! It was my first visit just before Christmas and my friends and I received a warm welcome. The wine list is extensive, with wine from all over the world and various regions. The prices were reasonable and so it was a great opportunity to try new wines that I hadn't had before. The interior was rustic and trendy and there was plenty of seating. The bar was quite quiet when we visited and it was a Friday night. I just hope the bar keeps getting regular custom to keep it open! It's great to have nice local spots to frequent without always having to travel into London or the local pub. More please!

This wine bar is a total gem. The dark, wood-panelled walls, twinkly fairy lights in the windows…read moreand rustic decor help to create a laid-back and charming atmosphere. The wine list is massive, and you can indeed order loads of them by the glass. The choice of food isn't huge, but what they do, they do well. The duck and chorizo cassoulet was hearty and delicious, and they also serve a range of charcuterie platters, all served with a generous basket of fresh, varied bread. You could happily spend hours in Mr Lawrence, and I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities in the future to do just that.

Hob Nobs is a bar/club in Gants Hill scarely bigger than a biscuit, which is probably why its name…read moreis right on the money. Hob Nobs, for one, is quite forgettable. An inconsequential place where nobody really chooses to go, however you often always end up there. It seems to be a choice meeting place for people, and I've often been to parties there. I'm not sure why, just a few weeks back, this girl I know thought that a good place for her 21st would be a sweaty, loud and cramped Hob Nobs. I can kind of see her logic though. If only seven people turned up, she'd still look popular as the excess numbers would be spilling out of the doors. Part of my problem is just taste. They blare out music here that I hoped would die out in the late nineties, and the people who frequent there, whilst I never wanted to do at least hoped would relocate. This has not been the case. If you like loud, cramped places full of attitude and aftershave, this place is for you.
