  Core…..very nice, available via Centurion concierge. Interesting to watch new areas emerge as worthy venues, as residential prices expand peripherally. That’s the fun of watching London and dipping in, then relaxing back out on a bi-weekly or less regular basis!

    Just got your centurion card? You’ve mentioned a few times recently 🙂

      I’d be smug if I got one!

  • Rob says:

    Not sure Kensington Park Road in Notting Hill counts as up and coming!

      To be fair Rob if one is a pensioner like the OP, you may remember when Ladbroke Grove was not quite what it is today….

        Up and coming for 25 years?

  For our anniversary last month we had dinner at the 2* restaurant at the Intercontinental Bordeaux. It cost about €400 which makes 30,000 Marriott points each seem like an absolute bargain!

    I had a look at the deal but couldn’t make it. I’m sure it was 30k for two.

  Can you use this offer via Amex Travel, bag the £200 back and fully cancel the ticket and receive the refund in your bank account?

  • Alex W says:

    12 Oct12 October 07:48

    Very greedy. It’s this kind of gaming the system which ends up ruining it for everyone else.

    • Paul says:

      12 Oct12 October 07:51

      of course Amex may still claw back £200 if the refund is sent back via Amex.

        ABC1s you say? That’s sounding increasingly ridiculous..

    if you get away with – but pretty sure that is a form of money laundering

    • wow says:

      pretty sure you don’t know what money laundering means…

      • RakishDriver says:

        13 Oct13 October 00:57

        I guess only the launderers would know

  If you’re looking for a standard business class return don’t forget the 6 month rule. Direct BA fares to Boston are only £1385 from April next year. Google Flights is a great tool to see prices for every day every airline.

    Noticed that last night when I was doing some pricing on google. Was surprised when it was BA and VS that came up with that price as it’s usually icelandair at that price point.

  I loved Clare’s food at Royal Hospital Road – it vastly improved once she took over from Gordon, but I just couldn’t find anything to love about Core. Can’t say I was too surprised to see it win 2 stars though, as the majority of other London Michelin star restaurants are not worthy either.

  • Callum says:

    12 Oct12 October 08:51

    Awards for food have always seemed a bit off to me given its a personal thing. I’ve had better meals for $1 from backstreet stands in random Asian towns than from supposedly well reviewed restaurants.

  • Rob says:

    12 Oct12 October 08:59

    I don’t disagree. I was very impressed by it but that doesn’t mean I have to love it.

  • Jon says:

    Michelin scoring is inevitably highly subjective (I was not at all impressed by the stuffy service and lukewarm food at Le Bernadin in NY which is in many people’s top 20 on earth lists); but restaurants in more out-of-the-way geographic locations (i.e. anywhere outside London in the UK context) do seem to be more consistent – I suppose they have to try harder to get noticed – and with less money floating around than London have to offer consistent quality to survive.

  Anyone flown with TAP? What was it like? Seat / food / lounges etc

    Flew CPH-LIS-MIA with them in Feb this year £380 one way business which was widely available last year and a real bargain.

    CPH-LIS was bang average euro business class on an A320. Lounge in Lisbon I thought was up there with the best. Good selection of food, great gin and tonics painstakingly made by the bar staff, nice views of the runway.

    LIS-MIA was on an old A340 with recliners – service good, food OK. Very annoying as our plane was swapped from a newly refurbed plane a couple of days before. I think they are in the process of completing a full refurb, so will hopefully all be done by next year.

  O/T but hotel points for experiences related. Just wanted to say thanks again to Rob/Anika for another amazing experience I couldn’t have got without HFP. I went for the McLaren factory tour yesterday, it was simply amazing. Thoroughly enjoy it all. I would highly recommend for any McLaren fan. Nice to meet a couple of other HFP readers there.

  Also to add that Michael McIntyre was fab last week – very enjoyable evening in the SPG suite.

  THANK YOU!

  OT: The best row (30) in Cathay PE is highlighted as a priority row from which they may bump you to another row if a disabled passenger needs to sit there.

  I will be travelling with my partner and our 2 year old. Does anyone have experience of whether they would bump one of us, splitting us apart and leaving one of us with the child?
