With the windows down, on a hot day, one disappointment is that instead of any audible evidence of the V6 engine (never as exciting as the V8, of course), there is instead that pervasive, ubiquitous electronic ‘hum’, now built routinely into electric-assisted cars, as a warning to other road users.

A café slash brasserie mix, it does an excellent a la carte breakfast, and (when the sun goes down) boasts a very Continental-inspired menu. Take a seat here and work your way through a burrata, tomato and basil oil starter, a truly enormous serving of moules frites and finish with a monkfish chop, fresh from the grill (a meal for two costs around £100). It’s comfort food done well, but still — if Joia at art’otel Battersea is anything to go by, we’re in for a treat when the signature restaurant opens. Source link
