Drinking
Floridita’s Rum Shack, Soho
I finally went to Cuba last year, after talking about it for what felt like most of my adult life. What a place. The combination of people, music and architecture managed to exceed my very high expectations. Even the food was surprisingly good. Another surprise was that Cuba unearthed my taste for rum.
The Princess of Wales, Clapton
There was a time, not too long ago, when you didn’t go to East London pubs. Earthy, or ‘rough and ready’, is how they might euphemistically have been described. Outright violent is another way, especially the further out from London you got.
Old Bengal Bar, The City
Quality cocktail bars continue to take the London by storm, but typically they’re located in Shoreditch, Hoxton or Soho, or atop of one of the new skyscrapers.

Jack Daniel's and I
When I was 10, I took my first trip to the Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. By the time I was 16, I'd rediscovered Mr Jack, and made my second trip.
Nordic Bar, Fitzrovia
The first time I visited Scandinavia (Stockholm, as it happens) I was struck by three things. First, how tall, blonde and attractive the people were. Second, how they liked to sunbathe at every opportunity, regardless of location (ring roads, office car parks, you name it). And third, how incredibly drunk they liked to get on Wednesdays.
Bottoms Up, Stodgy Old Mag
Whoa, we might just need to rethink our image of Reader's Digest with their recent article, The Greatest Drinking Establishments in the World.
Ladies, Step Away From the Wine
Last week, the Office of National Statistics reported that British women in white collar jobs drink 11.2 units of alcohol a week. That's almost double what our blue collar counter-parts are drinking. Apparently there’s more drinking than sex in the city.
