This is a modern bar in a residential / business quarter around a 5-10 minutes walk from Paddington Station. Its not that easy to find -but is closest to the Hammersmith and City Line, down the canal. Its a modern bar which gets very busy during evenings after work. It appears in essence to be designed as a kind of wine bar and the prices are higher end for pubs - the service is adequate, thats it, as it is just so busy after work. There is lots of outdoor space and the space for a bar which I havent seen used. In essence, if you have an hour or so to while away in Paddington its ok - otherwise I would not rush after 5pm - its just too busy.

Do airports get any better than this? Firstly, it has a Docklands Light Railway built into the terminal. Second, it has a very short check in time, around 20 minutes before the flight departure. Recently,the departure lounge has been renovated and I had to pinch myself to think I wasnt in either a five star hotel or an executive lounge. There were lots of leather seats, sofas and stools, built in modern style. The depature gates were also very trendy with clever use of stools in the dparture gates as opposed to seats. The arrivals process is also very swift and you can be on the docklands light railway in ten minutes. A very customer friendly experience. Recommended.

I remember when Stansted Airport was alot quieter - and alot more customer focussed. The airport has a number of bottle necks and I would strongly recommend online check in if possible. Firstly - all car parks except the short stay are a bus ride away. The long stay car park is a fair distance away by bus. The departure lounge does seem to be limited in places to have a drink and most people converged on the large bar at the end of the departure lounge which meant for long queues. They really should have more choice of places to eat and drink. There was a small bar and coffee shop in the satellite building and I would recommend doing your shopping in the main terminal then going to the satellite for a drink or somethign quick to eat - you’ll also be close to your gate too. This has now become a very busy airport and the arrivals procedure can take some time if alot of flights land at the same time

I had an amazing spa experience here. The spa is located in the lower ground floor of the Grande Bretagne and was welcomesand taken to the dressing area. Theres also a swimming pool in this area. There was opportunity to have teas and fruit infusions for free before the treatment. The treatment room was amazing - was really looked after and had a wonderful massage using great oils etc. After the treatment I was invited to a relaxation room where more tea was offered and the throughout the whole experience I was treated like royalty and I only wish I could afford a full body massage at Grande Bretagne more often. I thought the thalosotherapy areas looked completely amazing and will return just to experience them alone.

I agree with the previous reviewer and am unsure why anyone would choose to visit greenwich for this. I understand that many years ago it was the only way to get from one side of the river to Greenwich, but the Docklands Light Railway now does the job. However, to be honest, it is a short walk from Greenwich to the Isle of Dogs and it doesnt take very long at all. Entrance in Greenwich is right near the Cutty Sark so you end up right in the middle of things. Parking at the weekend on the Isle of Dogs is easier than Greenwich so this might be an option then walk through the foot tunnel….just a thought ;-)
