At the end of a long day of sightseeing during your London holiday, it’s nice to go out and relax with a drink or dinner before curling up in your new central London holiday home. Although most well equipped holiday homes in London come with kitchens and dinning facilities, if you are interested in sampling the wide array of cuisine in your neighbourhood, our top picks by our Zone 1 holiday home owners will come in handy:
Gyngleboy, despite being named after an antiquated type of beer glass, is actually a low-key wine bar. An extensive list of wines to suit all tastes and budgets perfectly accompanies a simple English menu with a focus on salads. Check with them to see if they deliver to your budget London holiday home, you can call them at:
[i]27 Spring Street, W2 1JA / tel: 0872 148 3305[/i]
The Bridge House, located straight on the river bank, has the advantage of being both a pub and a theatre. Take your pick from the typical English menu, then head upstairs to see some award-winning, longest-running-in-Britain, side-splitting comedy. A perfect complement to a day out for the entire family when on your next family holiday in London.
[i]13 Westbourne Terrace Road, W2 6NG / tel: 0207 266 4326 [/i]
Italian restaurant Bizzarro is anything but. Very modestly priced (mains are under £10), and a perfect complement to a cheap London holiday home, it boasts a wide menu of Mediterranean classics, all ending in –enne and –iutto. A terrace for dining in fresh air and regular live band appearances really seal the deal for this venue, so whichever comfortable holiday home you’ve chosen for your stay in London Paddington, be sure to pop in to Bizzarro before turning in for the night.
[i]18-22 Craven Road, W2 3PX / tel: 0871 971 7276 [/i]
The Hilton Hotel just opposite Paddington station and close to several top rated London holiday homes selected by RatedApartments.com actually hides a stylish little place called Steam Bar. Transforming into a club on the weekends, it attracts stylish, young people in the area. Although a bit pricier than most, it’s almost worth it for the eclectic mix of R’n’B and Afro-Caribbean beats. Perhaps leave the kids in while they relax in your Paddington holiday home, while you relax and let your hair down!
[i]Hilton Hotel Paddington, 1 Eastbourne Terrace, W2 / tel: 0871 223 6107 [/i]
For those who are here for a luxury holiday home weekend in London, a super, top-of-the-line dining experience, head down to Gordon Ramsay’s establishment Claridge’s. Although more famous for a foul mouth than delicious cuisine, this is a man who definitely known the value of style. All dishes are immaculately presented, fancy to the nines and, yes, delicious. Beware of the hefty £70-per-meal price tag, but a small indulgence of your savings from staying at a cost effective central London holiday home!
[i]Brook Street, W1K 4HR / tel: 020 7499 0099[/i]
Finally, for a taste of the oriental, there’s Gold Mine, a homey-feeling restaurant in W2. Dishes range from Cantonese to Malaysian (but frankly, who knows) and come in big, hot portions. Great warm, filling options for winter; lighter veg-based ones for hot weather. Perhaps not 100% authentic, but certainly yummy. Highly recommended for a family holiday when staying in a Zone 1 or Central London home.
[i]102 Queensway, W2 3RR / tel: 020 7792 8331 [/i]
