Then in this faux opulance you'd tuck into fish n' chips with mushy peas, sliced white bread n' butter and a pint of beer! You could even order a bottle of champers too!
Never been to Harry Ramsdens... No fish shop I've EVER been to in London could be described as opulant, faux or not!

I had two I liked, one was on queensway, a few hundred yards up from hyde park. The other was near the scala house apartments, near the goodge street tube stop. Both owned by greeks. In such an international city... Go figure!

Kelli and I were just talking about how we need to take the kids to London as soon as Adrienne is old enough to "get it."
