The company I work for is moving from Chelsea to Victoria in a few months’ time. Our ‘spacious new accommodation’ will be within a giant, very corporate-looking glass ‘n’ glass office block. The local pub look like it’ll be The Phoenix. I wasn’t particularly impressed during...

Disaster may have struck my charity fundraiser!! We were meant to have the use of a civil servants club in the area, free of charge, which made it sooooo very attractive. It appears they may be backing down on our booking, so I need to find a back up plan QUICK! It needs to be near Victoria, and it needs to hold 10...

Does anyone know why THEY continue to employ THE station announcer AT Victoria Station when he cannot MAKE a single announcement without putting THE emphasis ON all the wrong words?
What's the noisiest bit of the tube?

Am I alone in wondering why the crap the Victoria Line is so sodding noisy? It’s not just the Victoria Line either but that seems to be particularly bad south of Victoria. It can’t be good for your hearing and all that. I can’t be bothered to guess how loud the Victoria is but it certainly dr...
Tube logic: under and over?

Today’s beguiling brain-worm about the tube is this: The map clearly shows that some lines go over others, and as such there is an inescapable inevitability that some go under others. (for reference, here’s a handy map: clicky) Check out the Jubilee line for example: from Stanmore it trundles along...
How does not stopping help overcrowding on the tube?

Going home last night on the northbound Victoria Line the driver announced that we wouldn’t be stopping at Finsbury Park due to overcrowding at the station. Loads of people got off at Highbury & Islington as a result so the train was much emptier than usual going through Finsbury Park. My question is: h...
Do you wash on the go?

This is a pretty bizarre question. Has anyone ever used the showers in train station toilets? For example, Victoria. I’ve never been in to have a look as I’ve usually been in a hurry, as it were. What are they like? Wouldn’t it be really easy to get attacked in there, or is there some kind of assis...

Do any of you good people know of any book clubs in these areas? My friend was only able to find one in Bromley(!) and as she is based in Forest Hill (works in Victoria though) this is a little out of her way. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. She’s a voracious reader and is keen to have intel...

What can I do about the checkout lady who stole my grapes?

The other day I went into the little Sainsbury’s by Victoria Station. I’d decided to buy some grapes, which I promptly did, but as the lady beeped the bunch across the till, she reached out a fat greedy hand and snatched away a pair of grapes. Our eyes met. She smiled. And popped the grapes into her grin...

Right, I think The Friday Whatnot used to be based round there, so surely members of that clan can help me out… Where around Victoria station can you go to eat that isn’t a hellish Belgravia wallet-swallower, nor some crap cafe? Actually, let’s open this out to decent places to have a drink as wel...

No that’s not an offer. Not unless you’re buying. Simple question this one. I have to go to see a friend in a show at 7:30 this evening. So I’d be grateful for any recommendations for a place to eat in central Victoria at 6. Not too pricey, not too cheap. I’m a veggie and the geezer I&...

I’m looking for somewhere to take a friend whose grandmother’s just died – so somewhere that’s not going to tut and throw us out if we don’t spend lots of money but won’t worry if there are floods of tears and handkerchiefs – alcohol would be good. It’s not an area ...

I am going to see Wicked on Tuesday. I’d like to get some food beforehand, but most of the restaurants I can find open at 6, and I was hoping to sit down about 5:30 in order that I don’t have to rush. So – 5 shiny Kudos for anyone who can recommend a restaurant near the Apollo Theatre that’...
