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

Smiths of Smithfield at Farringdon
Located round the corner from Smithfields meat market, this place looks more like an old converted Russian factory. However, something about it just makes you want to come back for more. If you get there at certain times of the day, you can even grab the sofas on the right. OK, that might not be much for the uninitiated, but for those of us who are frequent visitors, it is a BIG deal ! Oh, don't forget to sample the Pork Scratchings. You can get some more information about Smiths here

Young Cheng Restaurant at Leicester Square
London Chinatown has the best restaurants lined the streets, so how to decide which one to sample ? Young Cheng comes into its own and delivers value for money with no compromise on quality. At weekend lunchtime only, you are treated to free soups before the main course, which are substantial in themselves. The soup is made from the best broth mixed with assorted Chinese vegetables, and the amount is generous too. If you are adventurous, ask for the 'other' menu. It is all written in Chinese, but surprisingly, no matter what you order, they come out surprisingly tasty. The tea is also free with your meal. By the way, there are three different Young Cheng's around Chinatown, and the above details are only relevant for the one on Lisle Street.
