London restaurants review

British, Mexican, French, Brazilian, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese – I could probably go on to the end of this article about the various cuisines that can be found in London. Here are the Short Let London staff favourites: 

Little Bay is the best value three course meal in London and costs less than a tenner. Modern European cuisine is the order of the day the chicken pastry and the barberry duck being particular highlights. The specials are also reasonably priced compared to most gastropubs. The original restaurant in Kilburn has a very unique feel however their restaurant in Farringdon has a larger selection and does special offers.

Le mercury in Islington is also a reasonably priced French restaurant which is very popular make sure you call and book a table especially at weekends as even though it`s on three floors it gets very busy. Starters are £3.95 and mains £7.95. Try the mussels in white wine sauce and the lamb shanks, this restaurant is perfect for a romantic meal that you will remember. If you want a taste of America and some homemade BBQ food look no further than Bodeans. With 5 branches in central London, short let London apartments and rental flats are within easy distance of them. A traditional American diner interior and one of the few places that show American sports 24/7 the food here is a must for any carnivore. Slow cooked chicken, ribs that literally fall right off the bone, and the legendary burnt ends that melt in your mouth with the smokiest BBQ taste you dream of. Take the full platter for 2 (or one!) at £24.95 its incredible value for the meat you get.  Short Let London recommends, enjoy your dinner!

London night scene

London’s club scene is arguably one of the finest in the world. Super-clubs, warehouses, swanky bars and much more besides it is a smorgasbord of fun nights that are a joy to behold. Here is the lowdown from Short Let London on some of the places you have to go rather than getting bogged down in the tourist trap that is the west end.

Fabric has been a clubbing institution since 1999 and a great introduction to the London scene. Fabric is a converted meat freezer with the best sound and light production in the world. Always at the forefront of new genres of dance music Fabric has three rooms and for first timers it is very easy to get lost. If bass heavy music and electro is more your thing, then check out Fabric Live on a Friday, however Saturdays is the night for the more discerning dance enthusiast with the best in house, techno and everything in-between.

The Ministry of Sound is still going strong after 20 years. Situated in a converted bus depot in the gritty Elephant & Castle it is one of those clubs you have to do – Fridays is long standing night the Gallery with the best of trance and house. Saturdays varies but expect some of the biggest DJs playing exclusive sets in the Ministry of Sound`s main room the Box. The other great thing is that these two world clubs are within easy access of the rental apartments and holiday flats that Short Let London offers. It is worth considering renting a flat in London, where you can easily get to at any time of the day or night as there are buses running 24/7. Get ready to party and do not waste your time during a short stay in London!
