I am going on a field trip with 3 of my English students (officially voiding any income I have made off them) so we will be in London from Sun to Wed. Anyone been there recently that can give me a tip? I do want to eat at one of Ottolenghis places but other than that I have made no plans. It has been 10 years since I have been in London and am very excited. Also excited that the Swiss Franc / GBP ratio is much more in my favor than then. Mary |

Mary: In July we ate at: - Piccadilly Spice (Indian) on Denman Street right behind Piccadilly Circus - our favorite London Indian restaurant since 1993 (used to be called Maharaja Tandoori but they got one of those TV makeovers). - Newman Arms (Pub, meat pies) - recommendation from Amy - Grand Imperial Restaurant (Chinese, in a fancy setting). In the Grosvenor Hotel near Victoria Station. We felt a little underdressed, even at lunch. That's about as exciting as we get. |

Mary, If you like beef & Guinness pie do go to the pie room at Newman Arms. Pete, you never told me you and Kathy went there! Amy |

If you have time, a stroll through covent gardens to the Neil's Yard dairy store is always fun. |

When not eating we toured Sir John Soane's house and the Hunterian Museum of the Royal college of Surgeons across Lincoln Park from the Soane Museum. |

Must have missed the FB post. Glad I never ordered the Shepherd's pie...not a mutton fan. I just ordered the Beef & Guinness the fist time and never ordered anything else. And, I've eaten there at least a dozen times. Becky, it's Neal's Yard...my maiden name is Neal, and my family is from London, so I'm a little picky on the correct spelling.  Amy |

Back home. I did not to to any of those places to eat, the women I went with were not my food obsessed friends and they just go and find a place to eat. We did ok. Had dinner in a dim sum place called Ping Pong that was alright, tapas that were ok, and McDonalds (don't ask). A surprisingly good salad at Gatwick (Asian with sticky chicken). I also got to spend some quality time with Constable Lucy and a nice lady at the Swiss Embassy after my wallet was stolen. PS Didn't eat there, but Jamie Oliver has an interesting looking food stand at Covent Gardens |

Mary, sucks about the wallet, hope you managed to salvage the rest of the trip. I hear constable Lucy is a gas when you get a few pints in her. Did they have bacon butties on the menu at McDs? We watch Coronation Street quite regularly and that particular dish is featured a lot, along wtih cheese on toast and eggy bread.
