You’re right about London at night Darren, it really is something special, Even in the daytime it’s something to behold, I never get bored walking around the streets of London, My Great Grandad used to work as a concierge at the BBC a very very long time ago and he used to say if your bored with London your bored with life, now I know some people won’t agree with that comment and that’s fine but it’s hard not to agree when you see a vlog like this one and others you’ve done in the past showing the beauty of our wonderful city. Also just wanted you and your family a very Merry Xmas and a happy New Year, all the best mate 👍🏻

Went there for a meal last night on the recommendation of DJ and wasn't disappointed! Had a fantastic curry which turned out to be far superior to the one I have in my home town of Southampton, I mentioned to the manager who had inspired me to give his restaurant a go and he immediately looked up the video on KZbin! Definitely give it a go because you won't be disappointed with the food or the service, it's one I'll use again next time I'm up in London! Cheers!
