The Zetter Townhouse

What a nice place to go for a drink! After dinner last night at Bistro Bruno Loubet we went around the corner to the Zetter Townhouse for cocktails. The bar is housed in the most beautiful Georgian townhouse in Clerkenwell, and once inside you feel like you are in someone's very cosy and slightly eccentric living room. Perfect for a cold wintry evening!

Gilbert Scott Bar

Years ago we visited what used to be the Midland Grand Hotel on Open House Day. The building next to St Pancras station always seemed so intriguing and I remember how exciting it was to go inside. Best of all was the story about the women's smoking room - the hotel was the first place in Europe where women were allowed to smoke in public. Now the hotel has been re-opened, and the other week we went for a drink at the Gilbert Scott bar. The room is spectacular...and of course strictly non smoking. Funny how things change!
