What's the Victoria area like to work in?

Posted by BraveNewMalden about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 21 responses

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...

If Brian Haw et. al can camp out permanently in parliament square, can anyone put up a tent and join in? The number of tents camped out there seems to grow week by week…

Innovative Westminster farewell ideas?

Posted by LitroK about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 7 responses

I am leaving my current job in Westminster at the end of July and am looking for some ideas about what to do to say farewell- not only to my colleagues, but also to Westminster itself. I’ve really enjoyed working in this area, (despite the dearth of decent places to eat!), and still marvel at the green spaces,...

Despite the fact that I’m spending my life in the office or out and about. my flat seems to be constantly getting itself in a state. I need a cleaner. Preferably in or around Victoria/Westminster. Can anyone help?

Cycle through Westminster? Want to protest?

Then go to this site! It’s a small and hopefully amusing way for cyclists to engage in a little civil disobedience on their way to work, while protesting against the Serious and Organised Crime and Policing Act, or SOCPA, recently voted the 3rd most unpopular law in Britain by Radio 4 listeners.

Sanity in Westminster Parking Department?!

Posted by Bookbox about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 3 responses

I know this flies in the face of tradition but there seems to be someone sane at the City of Westminster parking department – they have responded to my plea about a ticket. I parked in one of those bays where you have to text in, I messed it up, they’ve let me off. Does your heart good to know that somet...

Why are they digging up the West End?

Is it just me or is this getting to ridiculous proportions now? My journey on the 24 into Westminster today was going fine until I hit Gower St – a car park at the best of times – but today took the proverbial – 40 minutes it took to get from one end to the other! Surely this can’t only b...

Has anyone seen the lady with the cat round her neck?

Has anyone else seen the lady on the tube (seen at Westminster station changing between the Jubilee and D&C lines) who travels with her cat draped on her shoulders, or was I hallucinating? The lady was glaring at people, but the cat seemed perfectly at ease… And does one have to purchase a ticket to tak...

My flat mate’s moving out, and his room is going. My landlady is in Kazakhstan until July, at which point she wants ot move back in, and you could choose to stay or move on. So, there’s a room going in the flat from May 14th until July 14th, or until you want to move out. It’s on the top floor, and...

Does anyone know of decent drinking establishments (not too shabby and preferably with the capacity for about a dozen) around Westminster after getting off a boat down the Thames?

Rapid relief now at hand in Westminster?

Posted by CarmenM about 1 year ago
Last active 12 months ago 11 responses

Spending a penny in London’s Westminster City Council area has just been made more convenient. For 25p a shot, a new mobile phone service – dubbed SatLav – will steer unenlightened shoppers, workers, tourists (and, of course, others seeking rapid relief) towards their nearest WC on the block. By te...

Next week I’m planning to meet some friends after an evening event in Westminster, hopefully for food. We’re pushed for time, so something in the vicinity of Parliament Square/Whitehall would be best, but it’s a bit of a desert, isn’t it? Budget can’t really stretch to the Cinnamon Cl...
