Won't bore you with the details but amazing what the developers have done with that plot; considering it used to be a crappy old NCP littered with street tarts of the lowest rank a few years back.
Well worth a visit

wretched of hags.
I recall them lurking in door ways and looking like the great unwashed, as I used to make my way to the Brewer St car park.

I used to love working there, all of the joy of life's vices laid out in front of you and available at a very reasonable price.

We used to go in to be meat in the room and make people feel like they weren't being ripped off.

Off my tits at the time, obviously, but I knew the boss wouldn't be in there. Or at least was very unlikely to be.

We left Starsky & Hutch's under a bit of cloud after she dropped her drink, slipped over on the resulting spillage and tore her dress almost clean off.

Wasn't exactly easy to get a cab looking like I was half way through a rape.

I walked down Poland Street, stopped off somewhere for a bite to eat and swear when I went back down it the same cars were there and hadn't moved an inch (not the parked ones): Actual gridlock

Randall and Aubin for seafood.

Ember Yard for modern Bristish tapas.

Yauatcha for Chinese.

Social Eating House for posh.

Dean Street Townhouse for hipster watching.

That's all you need to know.

Anyway, as a provincial I don't get to choose these things any more. Though most of the damage was done in Jerusalem beforehand.

I'm not labouring under the pretence I am cool here, trust me.

Though everyone does seem to just go to the same places they did when I worked there a decade ago.

They only play punk, post-punk and everything is lit by candles.

Or at least he was last time I had to look after him in the run up to the festival of minor sports of 2012.

He commented on how hard it was to find a lighter nowadays, I agreed and added it's very much like a good heartbeat.

Twenty Bensons is a nightmare, 20 Cheese & Onion slices less so.

He didn't take my good heartbeat crack very well, I think he'd rather be remembered as the edgy post-punk rather than the smooth haired, linen shirted eighties sell out c**t.
