Kew Grill by Anthony Worrall Thomson at Kew Gardens
Another of AWT restaurants in London. I am told that the burgers are to die for and all hand made by AWT himself with his secret spice mix in the dead of night to ward off any potential industrial spies. Check out AWT's open kitchen at www.awtonline.co.uk

The Original Maids of Honour Ltd at Kew Gardens
This is a beautiful coffee shop that serve these famous tarts called Maids of Honour, still made from the original recipe. Legend has it that these tarts were made by Anne Boleyn for Henry VIII, who named them Maids of Honour after her. The recipe is believed to have come from the Royal Kitchens at Hampton Court. Now only this establishment still made them. Arrive early as this place can get very busy...

Wong Kei Restaurant at Picadilly Circus
For the unique experience in Chinese food, do not miss a visit to Wong Kei restaurant. People who have been there are divided into two distinct camps, those who loved it, and those who do not. Such a polarity deserves an explanation. There is no doubt the food is first class (try the Singapore Fried Noodles, something you can not even get in Singapore  ). The problem most people have is the service, which has a brand of its own. Do not expect to have your own table in the corner, where you want to sit next to the Fountain with the running water. You are either told to go "upstair", or "downstair". So much so that the staff there all wear T-shirts with these words across the back (these T-shitrs can be purchased, incidentally). The exceptionally low price is the other factor, which obviously strikes a chord with the conscious budget travellers.

Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club at Leicester Square
The atmosphere, the neon lights, and the fantastic mellow Jazz oozing out smoothly from this legendary Jazz Club. You can't smoke any more, but the music is still as great as ever. Check out the the performances and podcasts etc. at www.ronniescotts.co.uk
