Where do West End and surrounding areas locals go?
The Audley
A great after work boozer. Some of its original features have been retained throughout the years, which give it an authentic pub feel.

Scandinavian Kitchen
Traditional Scandinavian food for breakfast and lunch. The lunch menu of open sandwiches and salads is fantastic, as you can choose from quite a few options and mix and match depending on what you fancy that day.

TKTS
One of the best kept secrets in London apparently. The TKTS booth sits in the middle of Leicester Square and is the official ticket reseller for all of London's West End shows. Left over seats are passed to TKTS a few days before each show and sold at a phenomenal discount - sometimes more than half price!

BAO
This restaurant serves simple, yet heavenly Taiwanese dishes. You have to try the peanut milk and the Bao, which are light steamed buns with meat fillings. But be prepared for a long queue, because this place is very very popular!

Pizza Pilgrims
As well as an intimate, homely atmosphere, the pizzas are delicious and very very affordable, starting at only £5!

Gunmakers
A great pub featuring that classic trifecta of real ale, Churchill memorabilia and bullets!

The Cavendish
The best place for lunch in Marylebone - partly a private members' club with an elegant atmosphere.

Crown & Sceptre
The perfect pub for a post-work drink in central London along Great Titchfield Street. It also serves food and Sunday lunch.

Delfino
A traditional family-run Italian restaurant where they serve the best pizza this side of Naples.

La Fromagerie
An Aladdin's cave of foodie delights - fresh produce, charcuterie and a cheese room. If they let me into heaven, I hope it looks like this!

The Marylebone
As well as cocktail offers, this centrally located pub infuses its own alcohol, creating delicious drinks throughout the day and evenings.

The Crobar
Happy hour 4-9pm every day, which makes this place super cheap and cheerful for central London!

The Providores and Tapa Room
This is a weekend central London must! Walk-in brunch at this hot spot is unbeatable - especially if you're lucky enough to catch a seat outside!

Archer Street
I love this cocktail bar! It has a great atmosphere and is the perfect place to take a date.

St James's Square
Beautifully maintained, this garden square is a real retreat from the hustle and bustle of central London - it's amazing how quiet it is!
"In 1814, a rumour circulated of a young rich heiress with a human body and a head of a pig, who lived near Manchester Square. The papers soon stoked up the rumour as a ruse, and soon they were inundated with requests from male suitors to meet her. One even attempted to place an advert in the Times offering a proposal of marriage!"
Stepping into Selfridges, I always feel like a kid in a sweet shop...and their window displays are unbelievable!
Tania Smith
A rich vein of restaurants and cafes...I love walking down Charlotte Street without a reservation and dropping in to any place that takes my fancy...
James Blackler
Restaurants and charming shops sit in and around Convent Garden's former market place.
