The London Cocktail Club Shaftesbury Avenue Cocktail Bar Review

The only bearable thing about my driving commute is that I get to listen to my music.  Loudly.  Although a little too loudly today whilst I was having a solo rave along to Swedish House Mafia.  I was so caught in the moment I didn't notice the fire engine with the sirens and lights speeding down the street until it was right up behind me.  Oops.

The Hoxton Pony Cocktail Bar Review

I am a very girly girl.  I have over 70 pairs of dresses.  I like pearl necklaces and hairbands.  I love Blair from Gossip Girl, Charlotte from SATC and Kate Middleton.  So when my friends were having a joint birthday bash at the Hoxton Pony, 104 Curtain Road, EC2A 3AH (www.thehoxtonpony.com/), I have to admit I had some concerns about having anything suitable to wear.  I love Shoreditch but I'm not sure it loves me.  It's quirky, alternative and non-traditional.  However I think it's perception from non-Shoreditch people means it's probably being diluted with us tourists anyway as the Shoreditch (Shore-dites?) flee to some other cool part of London.

Nightjar Cocktail Bar Review

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I am pretty sure we're not going to get a summer.  I feel like I should get this out in the open so that we can deal with it now, rather than pining for something that will never arrive.  Wear your summer outfits indoors with the heating on, make cocktails with little umbrellas even if it's lashing with rain outside...or do what I'm doing and blow all my money going to Thailand and Ibiza this year so I can have at least 3 guaranteed weeks of being in sunshine.
