Gets 3 stars because we went during happy hour and got cocktails for £3.50. This is a good thing…read more Another good thing was that the waitresses brought drinks to our table for no additional charge to the bill. This is the first time I've encountered this in London and so kudos to them for that. The problem with the place is that it is choc-a-bloc with suits from the city. Understandable, I know, given that it's in the city. If you're not a suit, though, you can't help but feel out of place no matter how good the bar is. The bar itself is nothing to write home about and the cocktails were average at best, but, for £3.50, you can't really complain (much!) ;) The cosmopolitain was too citrussy and the kinky martini was far too coconutty and overpowering. The Mai Tai was their best offering and even that wasn't exactly as it should be. 3 stars is the best I can do, I'm afraid! Go for happy hour, then go elsewhere to continue your night...

They messed up my area/table booking, giving it to another group with the same name. They saved their asses by giving me another area, otherwise I would've been thoroughly angry.

Upon opening the door, the owner was shouting down the phone, the F-Bomb every other word!!! As I walked along the narrow path along the deli counter, having said "Wow!" to the welcome I received, he was walking along on the other side of the counter, continuing to shout profanities down the phone. Thank goodness the lovely woman behind the counter summoned me away from him. The coffee was just OK. The food looks good, but I didn't eat any. I hope the owner doesn't make a habit of welcoming patrons with strings of expletives!!

A stylish and cosy restaurant in Canary Wharf…read more Inside a new tower near to my office, I was keen to try it out. Booking was easy for a dinner with friends. We had a warm greeting and seated promptly. The attraction is the floor to ceiling windows with great views across London. We reviewed the main & Christmas menues. We noticed the fixed price holiday menu was more expensive than the main menu. Hmmm... There was also a considerable delay in getting our food from the time we ordered. We were told the kitchen was very busy. There weren't many diners at the time. Hmmm... Once our food arrived, the flavours were defo there although we noticed some portions were on the small side. Large plates, little food. Hmmm... I like the demarcations of the lounge, bar and restaurant areas. The toilets were also in good order. MTHR hasn't been opened for a year yet so I think there are still some lingering growing pains but they're working on it & we'll certainly come back.

There's a handful of stalls inside ranging from Indian Wraps to Mexican Tacos to American barbecue to Chinese dim sum. Each has a small one page menu so you can grab a few items from one place and find a table to share. I really enjoyed the chicken curry banana leaf platter (not pictured) from Gopal's Corner as it was a great amount of food and lots of punchy flavors. We also tried the paneer wrap from Le Bab, which I wish had a spicier sauce to make it stand out. Overall the space is quite large and there are plenty of seating options. However, there's no quieter area that you can sit and have a conversation. We say on the opposite side of the hall as the live DJ, and the music was blasting on the speakers throughout so you had to yell over the music to chat with your friends. I also found it hard to find a clean table, which may be easier on some nights than others. We were in on a Saturday night and even the clean tables were a little sticky.

My room was located right above the pub, was spacious with high ceilings, and was charmingly decorated with vintage looking wall paper and posh canine-themed art. Best of all, the large windows with cheery, oh so London potted plant facades looked out onto Clerkenwell street which is perfect for historic building and modern people viewing. Bonus points for the Clerkenwell neighborhood itself--centrally located, a short walk to buses (very useful during tube strikes) that get you directly to most city attractions as well as the Farringdon tube station which gives you Elizabeth Line (tube strike immune!) access to Heathrow and other key locations. The staff was very accommodating, allowing me to both store my luggage early and check out late. The pub itself is also historic looking and maintains the posh canine art theme. Lodging guests get 10% off all food and drinks. Also when I ordered a half pint and the server accidentally poured a full one, she comped me the other half instead of diminishing the draught.

Even a broken clock is right twice each day. In that spirit, I offer the following kind words…read moreabout the Thames Riviera Hotel: * The room I wound up in was fine; and * The riverside location is attractive. And with that, the positives will end. I hiked 10+ miles to reach this hotel which a travel agency booked for me. As I approached I could tell, even from the outside, that the place had some deferred maintenance. Stepping inside clarified my observation: the carpets looked worn and the interior shabby and tired. The woman at the front desk told us to wait, pointing outside to a gentleman smoking. "He'll help you when he gets back" she offered. Help here is a relative word. The smoker checked us in, showed us to our room, and mentioned that he'd upgraded us to a river view. As he walked out I walked to the far corner of the room to look out the window. Turning my neck at a 90 degree angle I could see and hear the car-filled bridge and spot the teensiest slice of the River Thames. Opening the window revealed that the window hardware was broken and a quick look around the room revealed the same shabby, tired interior that had greeted me at the front desk. This room was not acceptable. A new room was requested (we blamed the traffic noise) and keys were given to a satellite building behind the main building. After hauling luggage up several flights and walking down a hallway with stained carpet and sour smells, I stood outside our new room. Its handle had a "do not disturb" sign hanging from it and I could hear people inside. This too was not acceptable (obviously). A return to the front desk brought a bit of attitude, as though this was some big favor, requesting not to stay in an already occupied room. The third room? It was fine. Also in the satellite building, it actually had a balcony, a river view from there, was quiet, and had no traffic noise. It was charmless but by this time it was clear that charm wasn't this hotel's specialty. Breakfast, like all places in the UK, is included and with the exception of the fresh fruit and the pastries this breakfast was my least favorite of any I had on this trip. I didn't care for the taste of their eggs or potatoes. Maidenhead (birthplace of Theresa May!) is an odd town but surely there must be better lodging options here than the Thames Riviera Hotel. For every reason above, I'd be very reluctant to recommend you stay here but if you insist, ask for an unoccupied room in the satellite building, one with a river view and a balcony, and plan to eat your breakfast elsewhere.
