London - how it should be done!

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of going out with a few colleagues to London. First we went to the Below Zero Ice Bar in Covent Garden to have something to drink before our meal later in the evening. The Ice Bar was awesome, we walked into the typically swanky bar to have a few cocktails that I made the mistake of letting my 'friends' order me (kinda strong) - then we proceeded through the fur covered entrance to the real Ice Bar....

^ These kept arriving at our table full of shots ^

^ Covent Garden - many free drinks were enjoyed here ^

^ Surf and Turf - Steak and Lobster ^

We then went to a rather more exclusive premium establishment called Fifty. It was a members only night and luckily for us Tim (our city manager) was indeed a member and we were his guests. We tried loads of different shots. We finished the night in the basement talking to random businessmen and gangsters alike drinking a bottle of their finest whiskey and my colleagues puffing on 40 quid cigars - which for some reason I came home with two in my pocket??

^ Dance Floor of Fifty - tables had Sony Plasmas underneath them - nice touch ^
