My friend's coming down to stay this weekend and I'd like to do something nice for her birthday. Was thinking facials and afternoon tea rather than fancy cocktails up west, but was wondering if anyone knows whether any of the local beauty places do rooms for two, so that we could chat while being facialed?


feel like being decadent but not travelling too far because am fundamentally lazy and we're both knackered, so any and all other suggestions for two frazzled early 30s women in need of some tlc much welcomed. am utterly brain dead.

to be honest, something naughty would probably blow away the cobwebs (hmm, perhaps not literally) as much as a facial and a cake. in fact more so I would imagine. thing is I can't be arsed to leave the environs of ED - where's the best place to pick up loose menfolk locally? (think that's a whole other thread)

For afternoon tea my favourite two spots are The Lanesborough http://www.lanesborough.com/ or The Wallace Collection http://www.wallacecollection.org/


The Lanesborough has all the elegance and tradition of the Savoy or the Ritz, but without the crowds and tourists. Tea is served in a lovely conservatory, there's a fantastic tea menu and the cake stand is refilled generously.


The Wallace Collection is a lovely town house on Manchester Square, just off Oxford Street, with an impressive collection of art. You can wander round the rooms looking at paintings and beautiful furniture then go down to the restaurant for afternoon tea. It's particularly worth a look if you're not normally a fan of art galleries, because it's a house it doesn't have that oppressive, intimidating, art-is-very-serious-and-clever vibe that puts me off most galleries.


Both in town I know, but worth the effort.

I think it was John Betjeman who said if ever there were a nuclear attack, he'd like to be in the habadashery section at John Lewis, because nothing bad could ever happen there. I feel rather the same way about Liberty. Would have thought a pair of ladies could have a cracking time there. There's a new lingerie department for a start. And a nice (but somewhat expensive) restaurant.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Spartacus · Posted

      I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.

      There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
