Double bacon cheeseburger from Bleecker.  <\/p>\n<p>Favourite cheat meal spot? <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an Indian takeaway called <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kahanilondon.com\/\">Kahani in Belgravia<\/a>. You can feel that you\u2019re eating 5,000 calories, but it is dynamite. It is real good.  <\/p>\n<p>My earliest London memory is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In the year 2000, we were outside the Houses of Parliament for the millennium. They played Robbie William\u2019s \u2018Millennium\u2019 and there was fireworks on New Years Eve. I\u2019m sure I have earlier memories but they\u2019re not as cool as that.  <\/p>\n<p>Where do you go to let your hair down? <\/p>\n<p>St. Bart\u2019s. I grew up there and it\u2019s home to me.  In London, I let my hair down at home. I really love my family and I love spending time with my wife and my kids. <\/p>\n<p>The London shop I rely on is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Deliveroo isn\u2019t really a shop is it? I love Deliveroo. God, it\u2019s so great and there\u2019s so much at your fingertips. Do you remember life before Deliveroo? I\u2019m also in Nike Town a fair amount and I\u2019m in Adidas quite a lot. I\u2019m always buying sports kit and actually there\u2019s something nice about going to the shop and seeing everything.  <\/p>\n<p>The best running spot in London is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Battersea Park is great for running. We\u2019re really lucky. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/topic\/hyde-park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyde Park<\/a> is fantastic and Richmond Park, you\u2019ll see a bunch of stags. We\u2019re spoilt with choice in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/topic\/london\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">London<\/a> for runs. There\u2019s no excuse not to run in London.  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Dorian.jpeg\" width=\"1360\" height=\"680\" alt=\"Dorian\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"sc-eqUAAy kRUyJB\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Dorian<\/p>\n<p>We like La Petite Maison in Mayfair. It\u2019s lovely \u2013 really clean, Mediterranean, simple, French food. It\u2019s really nice and nothing heavy. We\u2019re pretty big fans of Dorian in Notting Hill for T-bone steak and rostis.  <\/p>\n<p>What would you do if you were Mayor of London for the day?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d want to be the Mayor of London. I would abolish the 20mph rule in London because I can run faster than that. Getting a speeding ticket for 22mph is not okay.<\/p>\n<p>If you could live in any London building, which would it be?<\/p>\n<p>Setting up a residence in Big Ben could be pretty cool. I quite like my house to be honest, though. Top of the Shard could be nice too. I\u2019d get rid of the restaurant in there and it\u2019s so high that nobody could see in. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"My favourite London pub is&#8230; I\u2019m hardly in the pub but The Uxbridge in Notting Hill is local&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":657670,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,393,4884,18099,257,67730,17345,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-657669","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-hyde-park","12":"tag-london","13":"tag-notting-hill","14":"tag-spencer-matthews","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115791166482272239","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=657669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657669\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/657670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=657669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=657669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=657669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
