London ILXers. Where do you live, what three things about might interest non-Londoners?

ronan the fountain off globe road has a nice pool table if you like that sort of thing (at least it did 3 years ago when i used to go frequently - it may have been 50p a go I think back then??)

has this thread become uninteresting to non-londoner yet? (i don't know!)

Might be of interest to non-londoners that apparently we spend 60% of our time in the pub, 30% in restaurants, and 10% in the park.

not been to viajante no... never quite took the plunge as i believe it's expensive. you?

how is the fountain? it always looks menacing.

anyone ever go in to the railway tavern on globe road? went in once a few weeks ago to see how bad it was. it was bad. met an irish guy who was severely delusional.

Not been to Viajante yet either but it feels like a proper "destination" restaurant.

I have been to Viajante and it is tremendous (as is the Corner Room, but going to Viajante feels like more of an event). We've been to quite a lot of restaurants around London and Viajante is my wife's favourite, and maybe mine also. We're going there for her birthday next month, hooray.

I too have been to the Railway on Globe Road, as part of an unfinished project to visit every pub in London called The Railway, with a view to proving they were all rubbish. Looking back, I was unnecessarily kind to this one: http://freakytrigger.co.uk/pumpkin/2004/11/pub-science-experiment-1pub-2-the-railway-tavern-globe-road-e2/

Yeah that's the vibe we got, everyone sat at the bar, total "fuck off" atmosphere. I assumed the fountain would be the same. Did consider a blog where you go to all these places (the Shakespeare on Bethnal green road looks a good shout) but might ultimately be a bad idea.

i walked past shane's on my way home, it is literally a minute from my house

<3 my new ends, crossing fingers so hard my landlady doesn't decide to sell up :/
