Restaurant Culture In Baker Street

By Benedict Freeman


Whenever anyone mentions Baker Street in London, I automatically think of Sherlock Holmes - the infamous fictional detective who never seems to grow old Baker Street was originally residential and designed for the more elite, upper classes. However, nowadays it has become somewhat commercialised and is bursting to the brim with contemporary designer shops as well as sought-after eateries and wine bars.

I guess, more than anything, it was the whole Sherlock phenomenon that kick-started the change in Baker Street - and he wasn't its only notable resident. For example, I bet you didn't know that the first permanent exhibition of Madame Tussauds Waxworks resided at Baker Street? And what of The Beetles' Apple Boutique, the Prime Minister William Pitt and the much loved British singer, Dusty Springfield they all lived there too.

From fact to fiction, Sherlock himself was not the only fictional character to reside on the street - there is also Basil the Great Mouse Detective, Danger Mouse and Sexton Blake. In popular culture, the 2008 film 'The Bank Job' was based on the 1971 robbery of Lloyds Bank in Baker Street and in pop music, both The Rolling Stones and Madness make reference to the London landmark in their songs "Some Girls" (Stones) and "We Are London" (Madness).

As we progress into the twenty-first century, Baker Street now appears as a food haven with every type of cuisine you could ever imagine on the menu. Two of the best restaurants have to be The Base Bistro and Bar and Indali Lounge. Whilst Base serves mouthwatering French cuisine, with a modern British twist; Indali specialises in healthy, wholesome curries for those of us who prefer something a little more exotic on the taste buds.

And if you think the top of the picks end here then think again, the list is seriously endless. Lulivo for a start is by far one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever had the pleasure in dining in: with tantalising house wines to die for, every dish is mouthwateringly good. Let's also not forget the Sherlock Grill at the Park Plaza hotel, also situated on Baker street. The intimate, aptly named eatery again serves something a little different: renowned for its Mediterranean-influenced signature dishes, Sherlock Grill not only uses fresh ingredients at every turn, but also cooks openly on a charcoal grill and mesquite wood burning oven situated in the centre of the chic dining room.

One of the main appeals with Baker Street is its central location that's within walking distance from Oxford Street, Marylebone, Regents Park and Mayfair. Furthermore, Sherlock Holmes is not the only intrigue in the area. In fact, there are many other buildings and streets that are of equal economic and historic importance. Whilst in the area, why not also try a visit to one of the best International private members' clubs of all time, Home House. Built in the eighteenth century, Home House comprises of three grand Georgian town houses, each with their own individual character and style.

Truth of life is that we all need to have the courage to reach our dreams thus fulfill our full potential.

If you are short changed in your childhood you can soon find that you grow up to be a very bitter or reserved person. This is the one phase that parents get to do all the right things that will guarantee your happiness. They have to help you get all the right equipment so that you are not left stranded in the world with any way to help yourself.

The world would be such a dull place if we did not have all the wonderful stories that we grew up with. These are the reasons why our minds still hold on to concepts like romance and happily ever after even when the world tires to say to us that such concepts do not exist.

Reading is the one way that you can improve your children's mental capabilities, it is the true way for you to activate their brain cells. It also makes it easier for them to learn new things with ease because their minds have been activated.

You have to do your best to encourage your children to have as many friends as possible. These are the companions who help when creative play is required. They provide all the assistance needed in aiding your child to get the confidence they need. As you know in order to succeed in the world you need to have a can do attitude otherwise you will have people trampling all over you.

No parent wants to feel that they are unable to be the best they can be. Even a natural thing like parenthood is very competitive because we are told what we should and should not do to raise the perfect children. Should we feel like we are failing in this, then we become very upset and this can have an impact our relationships with our children. Saying no is not a sign of neglect.

We are not islands and so we should not act in that manner. Just because your child is shy does not mean that you have accept this, you need to make sure they come out of their shells. Confidence is something that you have to foster so that they are very happy with their lives and can see potential in even the smallest of ideas. They will then grow up to be more resilient human beings.

How you communicate shows others how you wish for them to treat you. This is very important because these are the lessons you need to teach your children. Using toys like the plush unicorn to emphasize what you are saying could be just that good idea you have been looking for.

What And Where Is The Running Of The Bulls in Spain

By Jordan Ebor


Immortalized in literature by Ernest Hemingway, the San Fermin festival, held annually in the city of Pamplona between 6 and 14 July, is an explosive, passionate and occasionally gory festival that is an important element of Spanish heritage. Its most famous event is the the running of the bulls or 'encierro' but it is in essence a weeklong celebration that includes many other traditional events. The festival is known by the locals as Sanfermines and is held in honour of St Fermin, one of the patron saints of the area, although most people around the world refer to the event as the Pamplona Bull Run, or just simply Pamps. Over 1 million people attend each year and it has become the most internationally renowned festival in Spain.

Every July hundreds of mad Spaniards and tourists run through the streets trying to get out of the way of these rampant bulls, down an 825-metre (0.51 mile) stretch of narrow streets of a section of the old town of Pamplona. The actual running of the bulls involves people running in front of six bulls and another six steers. Yes, you know the scene - you have seen it on the news every year.

The encierro is run each morning at 8am between 6 and 14 July. The encierro is an experience even just for spectators. It is a spectacle that is defined by the level of risk and the physical ability of the runners. But hey, there is much more to the festival of San Fermin in Pamplona than a crazy bull run.

At noon on 6 July the festival commences with the setting off a chupinazo, or fire cracker, from a city hall balcony. There are literally tens-of-thousands of people celebrating the start of the festival around the city hall square.

Thousands of people accompany the 15th-century statue of Saint Fermin through the old part of Pamplona On 7 July.

Each morning of the festival there is the parade of giants and big heads. These giants figures are amazingly more than 150 years old.

There is a bullfight at 6:30pm each evening between 7 and 14 July. While the bullring of the city is the fourth largest in the world, it is full every evening and involves the six bulls that were driven to the bullring during the morning's Bull Run.

Thousands of people watch fireworks each and every night at the citadel park to conclude the days activities.
