Head next door to The Wolseley, well worth* the visit for afternoon-tea 
*Again it isn't cheap, last time i was there for lunch the bill was near £500 for 4 of us but that did include £200 worth of pink champagne (don't ask, lass's idea) - but the food is extremely impressive.

He was in the 2010 Final for Young Waiter of the year and I'm pretty sure he is going through the qualifying rounds again for this year.
He wont want me getting a bad impression of London anyway, he wants me to move there Not going to happen.

Don't think you'll have any problems then To be honest, you can't go wrong in Mayfair although Mahiki is pretty shite considering it's where all the 'Celebs' hang out.

Didn't eat out in the evenings in the end, he cooked dinner which was good as I spent too much money on clothes and drink
Did typical touristy things on Saturday and went to Borough Market to eat loads of cheese, meats and other samples. Had some chilli sauce that made my tongue feel like it was going to drop off.
Went to Paramount Bar on Saturday night, crap expensive bottled beer but the view was stunning from 33 floors up just as the sun was setting! Got to be on the guest list to get in, WTF you just rock up where ever you want up here. No guest lists
I enjoyed it but didn't do anything like half of the things there are to do, just didn't have the time. I'm not sure if I could live there, well more not sure if I could work there. Seems a bit busy and frantic. Full of people dressing like complete and utter twats. & too many people with far too much money!

Sounds about right towards the end. Where I am in Westminster its not too frantic which is good!
Main thing is that you had a good time!
Guestlists are a pain in the arse and also turning guys away sometimes aswell, do they do that up thur?

We got turned away from one bar because there were no girls with us and there were already too many blokes in there

London is generally full of cocks with a false sense of self importance. I can't stand the Underground either. Too busy, too hot, and full of cunts. Definitely couldnt live there.

When we were around Soho it was full of people dressed like twats. I wanted to walk down the street wind milling them all.

It's good to go for a few days for the experience but it's nice to be home to normality.

I spoke to an essex bird. She was selling giant bean bags on a market stall. I was more bothered about the couple of bean bags she had on display in her top, they were nearly falling out Funny accent and she didn't know where the Lake District was

It was £18 for 3 bottles of lager  I'd never heard of what ever lager it was and it didn't taste great either.
