The Club

A welcoming entrance way.

Survivor of the Great Fire

The beautiful stained glass window has the date 1625 in the inscription that is a little difficult to read on the inside with all the boxes stacked in front of it.  The building is thought to be the only wooden structure to have survived the great fire of 1666.  It was at that time the home of the gatekeeper of Temple.  It later became a club named the wig and pen, a hangout for the nearby lawyers and journalists.  Sadly it was taken over by developers in 2003, re-opening as a Thai restaurant.

Posh Exit

Bet your green man exit isn't as posh as this one.
Where is it? 
A gentleman's club of course.

Grace at Jamboree

I'm always looking for the best places in London to show you. My latest discovery in a real gem. Jamboree live music bar, at Limehouse, will transport you to another era when music is mellow and the environment intimate. I haven't seen anything like this since I left Paris. The place is jammed full of interesting objets d'art. One corner a painters studio where paints and brushes lie next to a partly finished portrait.
Expect jazz, Celtic or world music. The night I was there Grace Banks seduced us with her honeyed dulcet vocals. I'll be back.
