Three's a crowd

She says...

Ok Ok here I am with my delayed missive, thoroughly chastised. Although it's hard to be enthusiastic about food when you're hungover and nauseous.

I'm pushing for the next restaurant we try to be a bit further from Zone One. I want to go exploring the outer reaches of the tube system, get off at stops I've never get off at before, and probably won't ever again. 

Therefore the 3 Oceans Bar & Restaurant (http://www.3-oceans.co.uk/index.html) would certainly seem to fit the bill. It's located near Woodside Park tube station, which after careful inspection of the tube map I found, 2 stops from the end of the High Barnet section of the Northern line. Brilliantly described as 'exquisite, trendy, tasty' on their home page, they have 3 different menus to chose from. In a quirky move the 'Continental' one features Thai fish cakes and chicken satay. Is it just me, or when someone mentions continental food do you think of things a bit closer to home?

Anyway, in another corner of the tube map, at the end of the Piccadilly Line somewhere very near Heathrow, is the Three Magpies pub. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186338-d1436578-Reviews-The_Three_Magpies-London_England.html. Maybe a good place to go on a date with a plane spotter, but, as we're tormented by the sound of low flying aircraft enough as it is at home, I don't think this is going to get either of our votes for a visit.

Handily bridging the gap between our second and third restauarnts though could be this place - a restaurant inside the H10 hotel in Waterloo called Three O Two. http://www.hotelh10londonwaterloo.com/en/index.html. Smart, slick and entirely souless by the look of it.

And talking of bridges this restaurant, called the Three Bridges, popped up. But on closer investigation it appears it's already collasped. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/30067-2.htm.

Choices choices...
