"Acton? Realistically, your friend could have popped on over to Siberia and you’d probably see them more often. Of course, they think the same about south London. Enter, The Grazing Goat which is a great pub for any occasion, so it’s really just a bonus that Marylebone is smack bang in the middle of both of you. They serve all the British classics you know and love, like roast lamb, scotch eggs, and a pie of the day. In the winter, you can discuss that crappy date in front of the fire with a whisky, and in the summer, you can discuss that, er, equally crappy date on the patio with a guava martini. Of course, if you’re planning a weekend hang, go for Sunday so you can get down and dirty with the beef rib roast." - heidi lauth beasley
