Miss Immy's London: Cahoots Bar
http://www.missimmyslondon.com/2015/05/cahoots-bar.html
Saturday, 16 May 2015. I met a friend up West the other week and as we ventured off Regent Street into the buzzing vibe of Kingly Court, we headed through a discreet doorway where we descended a staircase deep underground into a tube station. As we entered the Ticket Office, we suddenly found ourselves in 1940's post-war Britain. We had arrived at Cahoots. And the beginning of a rather splendid evening. Sandwiches, or 'Marmalade Crumpets', it's hard not to smile with childish delight. And it was so refre...

Miss Immy's London: March 2011
http://www.missimmyslondon.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 29 March 2011. Brunel Underwater Concert and The Mayflower. I'm sure you've all heard of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the top hat-toting, great British civil engineer from the 19th century, famous for his bridges, dockyards and construction of the Great Western Railway. But did you know he launched his career as an assistant engineer to his father, Marc Brunel, to build the world's first underwater tunnel? Entrance to the chamber. View of the underground chamber from above. Tuesday, March 29, 2011.

http://www.missimmyslondon.com/p/did-you-know.html
Did you know there are five cash machines in London which. Offer English or Cockney for your transaction? It'll ask you to enter your Huckleberry Finn (PIN). Whether you would like your Sausage and Mash (cash) with a receipt. And if you'd like to see your Rattle and Tank (bank) balance on the Charlie Sheen (screen). If you're ever heading up East, check out the ATMs on Commercial Rd and Roman Rd and if you find one, I'm sure it'll put a big smile on your boat race! CAMLEY STREET NATURAL PARK. Did you kno...

Miss Immy's London: Dram & Smoke
http://www.missimmyslondon.com/2014/12/dram-smoke.html
Monday, 8 December 2014. It's been a while since I've been to a good pop-up restaurant, so I was very happy to dine at Dram and Smoke. On Friday night. What a slick operation with its hidden warehouse location; cockle-warming arrival cocktail; fun Monkey Shoulder bar complete with log fire projection, and the main attraction, an excellent 5 course Scottish-inspired dinner. We popped to the bar to order our wine for dinner, then took our seats at a shared table with a friendly bunch, and dinner was served.

Miss Immy's London: This Week's Special
http://www.missimmyslondon.com/p/this-weeks-special.html
Each week I'll suggest somewhere or something fun to discover. The wonderful book of 'PARIS COCKTAILS' to get you in the festive spirit. Paris could do with a little tlc right now, and what better way than by drinking cocktails. Lots of Parisian-inspired cocktails! Doni Belau made it her fabulous mission to scour the bars of Paris, sampling umpteen different cocktails (and no doubt the odd sore head! A rose-tinted version of the classic). 2 Park Hyatt Purple Mojito. Refreshing, festive and sparkly).

Miss Immy's London: January 2011
http://www.missimmyslondon.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 25 January 2011. I first discovered Barts. Just over a year ago and it definitely remains one of my favourite London haunts. Secret speakeasy bars are popping up all over the place, but Barts was one of the first and is true to its speakeasy roots in that it's a bugger to find if you don't know where to look! Situated somewhere on Sloane Avenue'. Is about as much as you can expect. And I'm afraid I'm not going to give the game away, apart from a clue perhaps: Chelsea Cloisters. Wouldn't be Barts...

Miss Immy's London: December 2010
http://www.missimmyslondon.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, 24 December 2010. Last Monday I decided to go in search of a special Christmas pudding. No, it wasn't the much hyped Heston number with the secret orange from Waitrose (completely sold out and now selling for ridiculous sums on eBay). This one is even more special, because it's made by prisoners. The Clink also has a restaurant open to the public for lunch. For more info, check the 'Did You Know' section of my website. Merry Christmas to you all and here's to a cracking 2011! I was particularly l...

Miss Immy's London: September 2011
http://www.missimmyslondon.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 September 2011. Lunch at The Clink. Last month, I headed off with a posse of fellow jailbirds, to deepest Sutton in Surrey, to HMP High Down prison for a spot of posh nosh at The Clink. And I have to tell you, it's the best 'porridge' I've ever eaten! For those who don't know, The Clink. Is a restaurant within a high security prison which is open to the public and serves the most delicious Michelin-quality food, at staff-canteen prices. Interior of The Clink. And was in fact an inmate himself,...
