"Excellent! We spent around four hours here on a Tuesday afternoon sampling their food, savouring their coffee and scabbing their free wifi! I 'll start with the basics. The Refuge is conveniently located on Oxford Street just a two minute walk from the train station. The casual seating area is huge with plenty of places for different sized groups to sit, there 's even an Apprentice Style boardroom table. The vibe is very relaxed but when I entered I noticed a lot of business people (or people clearly working). The decor is fantastic, as mentioned its a huge open space but the dark wooden finish makes it feel close and comfortable. The lunch menu isn 't huge but they clearly want to keep things simple and do them right. I had the beef burger accompanied by skinny fries and it was delicious. Just the right consistency so you could pick it up without it falling apart. It was generously topped with salad and the 'posh big mac ' sauce finished it off nicely. If you want to eat you 'll have to head through to the dining area as they don 't serve food in the lounge beware this was very busy, even on a Tuesday, so you may need to book in advance. After lunch we headed back to the lounge area and had a coffees while we chatted. The coffee was great, I had a flat white which was just off on the good side of bitter. We also ordered snacks later in the day the Almonds cooked in bacon fat are a must try that might sound gross to some people but just wait until the bacon flavour hits your taste buds! To access the free wifi you 'll need to sign up wth your email address but then it 's all yours. I haven 't even received a spammy email a week later. It 's really hard to fault The Refuge the staff were attentive without being too in your face, which I suppose is important when people are using their premises for business meets! All in all a really great experience and a lovely place to spend the afternoon working."

"edgware road £5.10 amstel marylebone has an excellent choice to visit pubs, this elegant backstreet pub is worth a look. marylebone has some of the busiest roads in london, the a40, a41 and a5 all through this part of london. the noise, the hectic and the general feeling, how hectic it is, may be enough to give them the urge to get away from him all. now, if they find themselves in such a situation and smiling out a atemberaubung or simply looking for a pub to get away from everything, the @lordwargrave is the destination for them. I visited here on a Saturday afternoon and received a warm welcome from the American staff behind the bar. the pub was not overly busy with some regular in, one of which had a beautiful British bulldog who drew attention. the atmosphere here was relaxed, the majority of the hunters were in the dining department at the far end of the pub and tucked in the American style smokehouse menu. the interieur furnished here is a long bar with the dining room near an open kitchen with open brickwork and some industrial chic touchses. there is a stylish feeling about the place, but this alcohol is not pretentious, this is a pub for all people and occasions. The Lord wargrave is a striking pub that offers inviting experience in a beautiful environment. this is a pub that has a graceful feeling and offers a lush American fayre from the in-house smoker. this is a place that they can celebrate in a big group, or how I quadruple a lazy Saturday afternoon a beer and have a little time to reflect, either away the lord wargrave is worth paying a visit. informations correct to visit 15/01/22"
