Thank you again for all your advice, I hope it’s also of use and interest to others planning to visit that London, I’ll certainly be picking from that list when I’m in town rather than standard Chinatown fare.
However, family, grrrrrrrr, you can choose your friends etc.…… spent ages looking at the suggestions on here, picking out menus and sending round the family WhatsApp group, who likes what, who can get babysitter cover/kennels booked, where do we go for drinks beforehand, where is near train stations, blah et blah et blah ad infinitum. And where are we going? Hunstanton. Fucking Sunny Hunny. Out of the blue, sister says let’s book a massive Airbnb house in Norfolk. Oh, say the aged ‘rents, who have the attention span of a fly, that sounds lovely, we do like to be beside the seaside. I could cheerfully brain and bury the lot of them, we’re having the patio done, no one would know.
Anyway, sorry for taking up the collectives’ time and thank you again for your help. Candy floss and chips it is.
