underdogunderdog underdog Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Spitalfields Market had loads of places to eat from around the globe last time I was there. It was a while back though. That sounds promising. Will have a look at that. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8MileBU Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Brick Lane is on my to do list too. Any recommendation for best curry house there? The only one I've been to on Brick Lane was called Cinnamon and it was fantastic. Our hosts that weekend had booked a table in advance as it apparently it can get really busy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the olden days you'd just go into a place with linoleum tables and the menu was chicken or lamb. Cost fuckall and was superb. I'd imagine it's changed a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use the circle/district/metropolitan lines, all of the stations have stairs instead of escalators. It is sometimes tricky to find the stairs at some of the deep level stations, so I'd look out for disabled symbols like other have said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try the Poutine with ribman ribmeat with holy f**k sauce from the poutinery at brick lane market on a Sunday.

He is that, west ham daft. First time I met him I didn't even realise about the leg, then he walked away some boy. The poutinery still do the ribman poutine when west ham are playing, but as you say Marc will not be there selling the rolls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a time used to stand in front of him at the Boleyn, often seen taking his leg off shaking it about. Done bloody well for himself though. Started out the back of a pub near the ground. As far as I am aware, he is the only 'street seller' who managed to move across to Stratford. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show if you have a good product, which it is, you can make serious cash in London. Simple ribmeat rolls with bbq and hot sauce, done perfectly. I must add his sauces are excellent too. I stick to holy f**k as its tasty and not too hot. Some of the other ones though, sweat inducing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Ill back up that Spitalfields market is great for scran. From there can walk to Brick Lane.

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Off to London this weekend with my wee boy (almost 4yo). We're staying in Greenwich and planning to spend a bit of time there - Cutty Sark and Maritime Museum planned. (Please god let there be a pirate for his sake!)Does anybody have any experience of this part of London with young kids? A big playpark would be a bonus! Apologies in advance if you're flying Edi to London about 8 on Friday morning. He's wired about flying and we've got days of excitement to be built! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody have any experience of this part of London with young kids? A big playpark would be a bonus! Lovely place to be staying mate, can easily waste a day in Greenwich. The park is well worth exploring, it is massive, plenty of shops nearby that will sell footballs etc so could have a kick about. Obviously have the Greenwich Observatory, which might well be too much for a young child, but the building itself should capture their imagination. If not there is always an ice cream van across from it. Greenwich Market is excellent, some lovely food. Can fully recommend Ruby's Of London, usually Ruby running it, comes across as a French twat, but those cakes are worth her insufferable shite. Trying to think of a play park, but nothing comes to mind, could well be something in Greenwich Park though. From the market you can always hop on the DLR and go up to the likes of Heron Quays, walk to Canary Wharf and get a tube to London Bridge etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
