The Dolphin Centre - Darlington

Horse Market, Horsemarket, Darlington DL1 5RP

10-01-2012 (updated on 08-05-2012)

Recently joined the gym at the Dolphin Centre
The facilites are first class and the price of a full membership is only £33 a month
This includes all classes and access to the pool on top of your gym membership.
Great value, always someone on hand to help and lots of equipment so you are never having to wait
Tip: Get in early doors as you don’t have to pay for parking then

UPDATED 8th May
Just had a letter through the door saying they are reducing the monthly cost to only £24.50 a month!!
If I could give them 6 stars I would

Little Fat Buddha - Darlington

30 West Auckland Road, Darlington DL3 9EP

08-05-2012

I love it here.

Always great food and in my opinion the price is very good.
It is located near the Darlington RA .
The parking is the only thing that annoys me, but that has nothing to do with the standard of food in here

Paula74 Totally agree there with you. Have eaten from there on a few occasions. Never had a bad experience . Fresh tasty food. First class.

China Red Buffet - Darlington

67 Gladstone Street, Darlington DL3 6JU

16-04-2012

Everything you expect from a buffet. Some good, some bad and some in between
Duck was mint, the price was reasonable (Get there before 6pm) and the staff were fantastic.
Toilets are hard to find though! haha

Cafe 85 - Darlington

26 Duke Street, Darlington DL3 7AQ

13-04-2012

We moved to Darlington in January, and we have been on a mission to go to a new place everytime we go for something to eat in town.
I would happily break that rule to come back to Cafe 85
The food was AMAZING!
Make sure you catch Early Bird on a Friday, and also get your hands on a Pims.
Bar staff are great, the manager was friendly and chatty and helped us with choices.
The seating is different too.
Booths at the front, with funky seating in the middle and more traditional at the back

Starbucks Coffee Company - Darlington

2 Queen Street, Darlington DL3 6SL

13-04-2012

Has great seating up stairs, and seating out side too. Now it is getting to summer, there is nothing better then sitting out side and watching the interesting people of Darlington walk past!

The Holy Bagel - Darlington

34 Priestgate, Darlington DL1 1NG

13-04-2012

I love Bagels, and when I saw that there was a New York Themed Bagel bar in Darlo I had to go. The range was fantastic, the seating was simple and the prices were good too. Best one was obv the New Yorker!

TheHolyBagel Thank you for the positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed it :-)

King's Cross Station - Kings Cross

Euston Road, Kings Cross, London NW1 2SD

04-12-2011 (updated on 03-04-2012)

I’m here at least once a month
When the upgrades are completed will look as nice as St Pancras,
Needs a seating area because it is too crowded when you first arrive
Harry Potter has filmed here and they have had to move platform 9 and 3/4 a few times now because tourists queing up to get a photo were getting in the way of commuters!
The new ticketing system has slowed down people getting onto trains and the lines have grown, however I can understand why they have done so.

Will edit this when the adjustments have been made.

Edited——
3rd April
The new changes have been done and they are amazing. It has brought Kings cross into the twenty first century

Anne Hunt Haven’t been to Kings Cross station for years and it is nice to know they have done a revamp. Needed it greatly as it was tinged with a sleazy element. Fix the station and the area might follow I say!

White Hart Lane Football Ground - Upper Edmonton

White Hart Lane, Tottenham, London N17 0AP

Joke of a team

Cbarnett89 Shocking simmo shocking !!

Maxim Financial Solutions - Windsor

4 Grange Avenue, Crowthorne, Windsor, Berkshire RG45 6QG

20-03-2012

I used Craig’s services when I bought my first home. I needed a decent Life insurance policy and my mortgage advisor was pushing me towards the one she had recommended.
To make sure I wasn’t being stung, just so she could get some finders commission, I asked Maxim to have a look for me.
The one they found was perfect for me, and was £8 a month cheaper then my original quote.
Explained everything to me in Lehmans terms which was a massive plus point and everything was addressed in a professional manner.
100% recommend these guys.

Le Lion - Bar de Paris - Altstadt

Rathausstrasse 3, 20095 Hamburg

15-03-2012

You know your going to love the venue when you walk in and instantly want to touch the wallpaper!
Amazing cocktails, relaxed atmosphere and lives up to the billing of one of the best bars in Hamburg.
I sampled the Santa Marta which is a rum based cocktail.
I was very impressed when I asked for a spiced rum that they recommended the “Sailor Jerry’s” (Which is my favourite choice of Rum).
Will be visiting again, when I take out a second mortgage =D
