    Sunday Roast was on my to do list and after traveling from the country side via train and tube from…read moreOxfordshire with suitcase and delays, I was delighted to find this cute pub next to my hotel. The service was friendly and I met the owner Sharon and we had a lovely chat. My roast arrived and it was just the meal I needed. Roast beef smothered in brown gravy, veggies cooked to perfection, and Yorkshire pudding (a light delicate bread) and I washed it down with a Diet Coke. Truly such savory meal that didn't feel heavy at all. With that fuel I hoped on thr tube and explored London. Priced fairly and a space with a rich musical history, I'd gladly be a water rat again!

    We had some time to spare before catching our train from King's Cross, so we stopped by this spot…read morefor a quick breakfast. We kept it simple--just scrambled eggs with bread. The place had a nice, spacious vibe, and since it was really early, we pretty much had it all to ourselves. But what really made it special was what we found out afterward-- Here's the cool part: there's been a public house on this site for over 500 years! The current building was put up in 1878. It was a regular hangout for none other than Karl Marx and Lenin--how wild is that? The walls are covered with photos of famous performers who've been there, along with images from the Grand Order of Water Rats. The whole place just feels rich with history--both old and more recent. The pub was bought in 1986 by the Grand Order of Water Rats, a showbiz charity whose members have included legends like Charlie Chaplin, and currently, Rick Wakeman. Even cooler--it's where Bob Dylan played his first-ever UK gig back in the 1960s. Since then, it's hosted the London debuts of bands like The Pogues and Oasis. And in this tiny back room, they've had live performances by major international stars, including Katy Perry.

    Our first trip together to London found us staying at the glorious St. Pancras Renaissance. It was…read morean absolute glorious hotel for of grand Victorian ceilings and elegant nouveau furnishings and style. We spent four nights at the St. Pancras in a lovely room with. A cozy long sized bed and sofa to lounge when we needed to chill without lying down. There was ample closet space and some shelving to putting away clothes. The desk area was very nice and roomy with a nice style about it. The lamps had good lighting that was warm and inviting. The bathroom had good water pressure and sink space to place all toiletries. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. They allowed us to use the amenities at their spa when our room wasn't ready and we needed to clean up from the all-day travels we had spent since the day before coming over from the States. Staying at the hotel is an experience from the fact that this Victorian building used to be the original train station for St. Pancras. They have repurposed the high-ceiling gothic interior that originally served for the meeting and ticketing offices for the main lobby area and the Booking Office 1869 bar. The grandeur of the design is allowed to fully take place in the superb elements of fine dining and comforting relaxation. The Booking Office Bar & Restaurant was a mainstay for us during our time at the hotel. It's difficult not to want to check out the Victorian splendor of that interior while enjoying delicious cocktails and food at the bar or one of the nearby tables. While we didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the Victorian Punch Hour that was at 5:05 each afternoon, it is something of heard to check out if you can. In addition to the Booking Office, there is the Hansom in the lobby, the Seasonal Terrance for wine hour, MI + ME, and the Gothic Bar. The latter of which was also quite magical with its Victorian design and grand luxurious interior with darkly warm lighting and creative cocktail menu. Located next to King's Cross Station in addition to St. Pancras International Station, you have immediate access to the high-speed rail system that takes you as far north as Scotland and south throughout the heart of Europe. You have one of the central hubs to multiple Underground rail stations that can take you all through Central London and its outskirts. You are also a very short walking distance from both the British Library and the British Museum. Like literally across the street close. The St. Pancras was an excellent choice for a hotel during our stay in Central London. I hope we can return again when set our course back across the pond.

    This is a great hotel and well situated to both the underground and train service. Private…read moreentrance to the hotel from the station kept me out of the elements and was very nice. Lots of food options within walking distance. Hotel staff are very friendly and customer service oriented.

I love the fountain in the middle of the courtyard (pictured) that has jets of water shooting up from the ground landing in the receptacle at the top an then filtering back down. We had bacon sandwiches for breakfast which were devine! Most likely because the Hall is in the area best known for the Smithfield Meat-Market! Nom nom nom

This venue is a gorgeous old livery building complete with grassy green courtyard and fountain at its heart that would've been lovely to sit in the afternoon sun were it not for the management team waiting to present upstairs. There were sunlit reception drinks on the upper level overlooking the courtyard through floor-to-ceiling windows, which led through to the spacious main presentation room. The 3-course lunch was delicious - a goat's cheese starter on flaky pastry, a salmon main served unusually on a mushroom with an almost sweet red sauce, and creme brulee for dessert that needed a pleasing amount of force to smash the top. Superb service meant it was all delivered and cleared smoothly and silently - and whilst wearing soft black gloves! Special kudos for the mini pot of jelly babies in the middle of each table too - I may have been playing the serious grown-up hard at work but they were the perfect light-hearted touch to make me smile :) Impressive all round - I'll be looking out for more meetings in this venue again!
