Science Afternoon Tea at The Drawing Rooms (at The Ampersand Hotel)
10 Harrington Rd, South Kensington, LondonCame here for the science high tea. Service was quick to seat me. This is an interactive high tea so the first part was the fizzy lemonade which included water and lemon with the blue liquid in the pipette as liquid sugar and a packet of baking soda with citric acid, yellow was mango and red is strawberry puree. The high tea tiered desserts were pretty but too sweet for me. Did like the pipette injected into the macaron. Scones were good. It came with clotted cream, jam AND a toothpaste tube of lemon curd mixed with sweetened condensed milk. Loved the oreo bit dirt with the shortbread with a bone fossil imprint on the bottom of the tin. Finished off with chocolate ice cream.

Byron - Old Brompton Rd.
93-95 Old Brompton Rd, South Kensington, LondonI've had Byron's delivered but not sat in one until today. Luckily there was a 2 for 1 offer on burgers so in we went. I had the Chilli burger and my friend had the Smokey. My fiend didn't like the buns not toasted but I wasn't fussed, my burger tasted nice, it too much Chilli and a good combination of ingredients. I tried a Byron's beer which was good Onion rings are very good, not chewy but crispy and fresh but eat while hot. We also had the tots which are basically has browns but served as little Balls which is a nice format but let down by the so-called cheese sauce which was runny and more milky with very little taste of cheese, it would've been blasted to serve up a blue cheese sauce, but for some strange reason they stopped doing it. Apart from all that quite pleasant Surroundings, a little bit of a noisy side but we're definitely come here again.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK)
107 Old Brompton Rd, South Kensington, LondonThe smash burger was fine, but nothing special. Service was good though (included in the bill).
All together - it's worth the try, but for the same price range maybe other places with better options.

Carluccio's
1 Old Brompton Rd, South Kensington, LondonThey were very busy with half term families but we were seated and served promptly. Very impressed with the speed considering the numbers.
The food and wine were excellent reminiscent of Carluccios when it first appeared on the scene. Nice staff friendly and helpful and Nathaniel did a great job of looking after we old foggies. Highly recommend.
Have been back twice since. Today 26th March. Served by Fabritzio and Panteras. Great team. Everything was great; the food, wine and ambiance. Will be back again soon.

Gallery Cafe
Exhibition Rd, South Kensington, LondonFor a free museum, I understand that a lot of things have to be compensated. We had a Coca-Cola here and it was quite pricy but the place was very big and had lots of seating options which was nice. The London Science Museum does have a lot of things to see but not many places to sit so I appreciated it when we walked past the gallery cafe and wanted to have a break from touring.
