things to do/see in London?, by alistairkhalil on Aug 19, 2012 18:14:23 GMT 1, The Box, in Soho... a hedonists dream
Meat Liquor, great burgers, best time is late afternoon, or after 10pm to avoid queues..
Pitt Cue, in soho, AMAZING, must try the pickle back shot, bone marrow mash, and brisket...
La Bodega Negra, great cocktails, great vibe, enter through the sex shop!!
Best bar: Scotch (Mayfair) or Nam Long (Earls Court) Nam long is one of Londons hidden Gems..
Best Steak: Goodmans (Great, quite cheap wine menu)
Best Tapas: Tendido Cero : Old Brompton Road

I went there on Thursday... and it was sublime.
I've had sushi in Kyoto, Hokkaido, Sendai, Tokyo etc
Yashin topped most for how they pushed boundaries by combining a subtle european twist with the artistry of traditional sushi making techniques.
A tad pricy but well worth it.

things to do/see in London?, by ilmambo on Aug 20, 2012 11:09:21 GMT 1, thanks everyone but yeah, actually Japanese/sushi restaurants are not what I'm after. ;D
and as I said I'm sorted for the night, because I'll be with friends living there and most probably they'll choose where to eat for dinner.
I'm more interested in snack/cheap/tasty/quick lunch places where to eat something while wandering around looking for street art. ;D
there are some good daytime snack tips in my old "what to do in London" thread, so check those out too..
I had a look at your thread and the food places mentioned are:
- Tayyabs
- Pellicci's (beakfast)
- Mangal
- Nandos
- Royal Oak (beer and food)
anything else? leaving wednesday morning...
also asking again, any banksy wall not buffed? if yes, where to? ;D
thanks

things to do/see in London?, by stillborncrisps on Aug 20, 2012 13:29:29 GMT 1, Don't forget to check out the Banksy tunnel/Leake St. Only proper graffiti is there now, but it changes almost daily.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leake_Street
For an ambling tourist with a camera, you'd probably wanna go there in the day, just to feel a bit safer/relaxed.
Think the Banksy flower painter is still on the side of Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, although tagged to fuck:
goo.gl/maps/Kqyfh
You can just make out the helicopters with bows, behind perspex AND a giant ad hoarding at Old St (not worth seeking unless you're passing).
goo.gl/maps/qmTH9 (Think that Elmo throw is now gone, for the olympics)
The If Graffiti Changed Anything is still there, behind perspex:
goo.gl/maps/CB9Ea (just a blank wall on StreetView, but it is deffo still there)
Maybe some posh west londoners can confirm if the Portobello Rd one is still there? (the one that supposedly got sold for £200k)
