And for most they’re bringing a spouse who’ll enjoy being taken out to a nice dinner. (I can’t wait to hear your recommendations on afternoon tea. 😉) Edited June 28, 2023 by SoCal Deek Quote

GunnerBill Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 If you want a true English cafe experience try the Regency Cafe. It's no frills, a proper English greasy spoon. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186338-d1986778-Reviews-Regency_Cafe-London_England.html Quote

chongli Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Not about the logistics of the game, but Jaguars OT Cam Robinson was suspended today for four games for a PED violation. The critical news is that he will be back just in time for the Week 5 Bills game in London. Great. Quote

So, on the other end of the spectrum is some really great restaurants! one we are particularly don of is the Cinnamon Club. really redefined Indian fine dining , been open for at least 20 years. Prolly went there first time in 2006, been back maybe 4 or 5 times. Wife was just there In April, still loved it. and don’t say ya don’t like Indian food till you have eaten there. I was adamant our first time I hated Indian food, left a true believer! There is a reason most critics agree the beat Indian food in the world is served in London. Over by Westminster btw https://cinnamonclub.com/ Quote

Over by Westminster btw https://cinnamonclub.com/ We had friends in Sarasota who also have a place in London, his home. I had no idea he could cook, but he made an incredible Indian meal. A bit zippy, but delicious! Several cases of wine later he advised his departing guests to “tuck a roll of toilet tissue in your freezer before bed, you’ll want it in the mornin’.” He wasn’t entirely wrong. .

And yes, there are a million great restaurants in London. I had a chicken tikka masala at a place not far from Trafalgar Square many years ago that was really good...have no idea of the name or if the place is still there. 1 1 Quote

Think they have about 10 locations now. 1 Quote

You will get the best Indian/Kashmiri food in the world (with the exception of those regions themselves) in London. If that is what you are after Brick Lane is the place to head. 1 1 Quote

It’s weird because Southern California is the Mecca of fast, or at least easy food, and I’ve been utterly shocked they haven’t brought Nandos out here. It’d be super popular. Quote
BritishBill Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 Is there any sense on where lots of bills fans will be congregating on the Saturday night for drinks etc? will be coming down from Liverpool in the afternoon and would love to meet some of you good people! Quote

I was thinking of going to one of the pubs down by the stadium and doing a group meet up I know they don't like footballer jerseys in the pubs but I don't know about American jerseys. Anyway asked my cousin daughter who is a Barby( her brother is raf and volunteered to due the fly over for the game if allowed for the game,)in that area to see if there is a bigger pub that we can meet up at. So I am nominating you to be in charge 😏 British bill. 1) time of meet up 2) fee if needed 3) place 4) attire 5) and make sure you drive on the Right side of the street to get there. Quote

SoCal Deek Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 For our British members I just saw a link to a video showing that Luton Town is building a new stadium around the same timeline as the Bills, although the Luton Town facility doesn’t look like much of anything really. Their current grounds are a dump. Quote
