Explores one of the greatest archeological finds of the 20th century and the man responsible for creating this amazing site: Qin Shi Huang. The exhibition is fascinat...

The London Lowdown: January 2007

http://thelondonlowdown.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html

Friday, 26 January 2007. Getting to know you part 1- On the buses. Bus tours are a great introduction to the city. Bus tours are, quite obviously, tours on open-top buses (usually, some might be closed top). There are two main companies – The Big Bus Company. And The Original London Sightseeing Tour. The congestion charge has made bus tours a much more pleasant journey. Tuesday, 16 January 2007. What’s for dinner? Including Gordon Ramsay’s eponymous establishment, a three-starred affair in. Other notable...

The London Lowdown: October 2007

http://thelondonlowdown.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, 28 October 2007. Is it okay to have pancakes on any other day than Shrove Tuesday? This was the question that had to be addressed when I and four other lovely ladies met for lunch on a Friday. On my suggestion we went to My Old Dutch. In High Holborn, which elicited cries of “Pancakes! 8221; from some and “Pancakes? But it’s the wrong day! 8221; from others. My plan for next time is to take someone who'll share a savoury pancake so I can did into a sweet one for afters! Labels: Eating and Drinking.
