Who are we? We’re your new home from home in London. A place to eat, sleep, dance and discover London from. What do we want? We want to share the city we love with you and help you make the most of your London adventure. What are we like? If we were a food product we’d probably be free range. ‘Cus we grew up kinda’ wild and free. If we were a place we’d be London (obviously) - because we love it. If we were a person we like to think we’d be Henry (Indiana) Jones Jr. Because we like horses and a sense of adventure. And we also don’t mind being named after the dog (incidentally this is Gia. She’s our pub dog).
