London - Places to Eat & Relax

although i have not been in london for long, still manage to visit a few places to eat and want to share out with all of you...

- The Hospital Club, very interesting interior design, good atmosphere to eat and to work (with wifi in their bar and restaurant), featuring small art exhibitions from time to time (when i went was featuring Martha Freud's works, really beautiful designs), events at night time with DJ, just the place to be.



- Sketch Gallery, again, amazing interior design, art exhibitions from time to time, nice bar area. however, the price is not particular friendly, but if you are looking for a place to have a nice tea time, go to Sketch!!!


- Inamo, interactive restaurant, interesting experience from choosing what to eat & drink, what table patterns you wish to have and the food is nice too - asian fusion. have a look at the pictures below and you will understand =)





- Asia De Cuba, Cuba mix Asian fusion food, situated inside a 5star luxury hotel - St Matins Lane, in covent garden, one of Philippe Starck's designs. with restaurant and bar. one tip though, their portion per dish is quite large and do save some room for their desserts!!!
