This weekend has been about exploring the more genteel side of London.
Saturday involved a wonderful expedition to Alfies Antiques Market down the bottom of Lisson Grove. If you can get over the slightly snooty 'antiques' dealers and are ready to drive a hard bargain, this place is a minefield of treasures from the very old (Egyptian beads) to the funky vintage 60's lights. It's worth spending a good couple of hours at Alfies and if your tummy can't take that long without a refuel, there's a delightful top floor cafe and roof terrace with good views of London. http://www.alfiesantiques.com/

On to the new - well new to me at least. All day bistro - Bob Bob Ricard is a new pretender to the well loved Wolseley Crown. Situated the Soho end of town, this hidden gem has an immediate charm in its eccentric decor. Walking into the lux turquoise and salmon dining room, one can only envisage this as the kind of place Holly Golightly must have dined. Menus are good and original, service friendly and efficient.

I feel like this entire post is an attempt to woo me for a visit. That cocktail is lush.
