If Mrs GDB doesn't feel up to walking there's always the Radisson on Tottingham Court Road. Can't vouch for the quality but it's twenty quid each and right across the way from the hospital.

Alternatively, if you just want to smash down half a dozen lagers and a pie there's the Prince of Wales Feathers on Warren St where I used to work waaaay back when.

Just about the closest pub to my first year uni halls that was! You may have served me if you were working there in 1997/8. I was always impeccably polite and tipped generously.

5 years too late. We had a police enforced lock in one night when the theatre at the other end of TCR was bombed. We even had a bobby on the door. He turned down the offer of a pint but had a couple of mugs of tea from me. I had to sprint to Euston Sq to get the last tube home.

What a strange coincidence. I worked in that area for years too specifically in Warren Street way back when, and next door to the Warren Street squat where Grayson Perry used to hang out with a lot of the New Romantics. Later, I worked opposite Warren St in TCR, but for lunch would hang out at the wine bar under the hotel there rather than the POW Feathers. Left there 1988.

I wonder how many other NP have links to Warren St. It's not a particularly big area.

I also worked at the Adams Arms off Fitzroy Sq. I was a chef there.

No links to Warren St., but I met up with a date in Russell Sq. once.
Is that close enough to Warren St.?

I sat exams for my Masters degree around there and my DD studies around there now. Always saw it as a bit of a dead zone for nightlife but that'll be because I wasn't a student there.

I was in a shop the other day and there were some "pine" stick things that were being sold as smelling of Christmas. They looked similar to, say, pipecleaners ... so the idea was to put them in the room and make it smell of Xmas.

I undid the top of the pack to sniff .... smelt like Pine Fresh toilet cleaner

Our first Christmas tree for years, gone for a real one. Still needs a little more on it but it is shaping up nicely.

Nice tree.
Nice curtains also.
