London Is Our Town
a curated list of reviews, restaurants, bars and attractions in London that matter to us.
Nutshell Restaurant Soft Launch Review
When the bread arrives and makes you swoon, you know that something good is happening. But when you rip a chunk off and it tears away with a satisfying fluffy yield, like a salty golden crusted cloud, and you dunk it into a Tapenade that exists solely to please you...
The Barge House Haggerston
Nestled along the banks of the quaintest little canal in De Beauvoir Town (West Haggerston), the Barge House is a real gem. I went along for brunch to try their now famous weekend brunch menu and found a quiet little spot that blew away my expectations with a...

Ibérica la Terraza Canary Wharf Review
I'm generally not a believer in Spanish food since an unfortunate experience with a less than OK paella as a young boy - but I quite like Ibérica's terrace smack in the middle of Canary Wharf, surrounding by skyscrapers. Recently, Canary Wharf has up'd its...
