Perfect Village

My idea is to recommend to anyone interested,,anywhere I have felt the experience to be enjoyable and would recommend someone looking for a service to use one of those I mention. I travel a little so the places I add will be dated,some I will never return to but at the time of them being mentioned were/are great. Coffee shops wherever will feature quite heavily , and bike shops probably more than a villlage can really maintain but its my village so..... I hope its of some use

Cool and unusual bikes from the beautifully designed and crafted Vanmoof and Schindelhauer , through the lovely functional Foffa s and Ludvigs to strange and funky Boughbikes The Bicycle man's staff are informed and helpfull and stock a pretty eclectic range of bikes from less mainstream manufacturers. Always an interesting place to spot an unusual design idea .

Jia , ( Restaurant ) Near South Kensington Tube Station , London 22/7/2013

1 Harrington Road , London SW7 3ES TEL: 020 7584 7188

Perfect if you've been to the Natural History Museum or the V&A and find yourself in the tourist hell that can be Saaf Ken . I've only had Dim Sum here so far which is only served until 17:00 but I think its great . Ive read some miserable gits reviews who describe the service as being rude and awful but Ive found the staff to be perfectly pleasant and certainly no less curt than a lot of places but the whiskered silver cod , spicy chicken Shu Mai , deep fried beancurd with prawn and wasabi prawn ravioli is fantastic . 2 people can eat about 4 portions of Dim Sum (3 or 4pieces per portion ) for about 25 quid with a couple of soft drinks and tea . I go about once a week when Im in town
