On the Mao theme, there's a basic noodle bar place just by Notting Hill Gate that grandly titles itself 'New Culture Revolution'. I mean, like, pretentious or what?

Gah, reminds me of 'Red Veg' just off Oxford Street - they've put the 'R' back-to-front for added, er, authenticity.

There's a pub on the corner of Wood Lane and Shepherd's Bush Green which was a cavernous old grotty boozer that got spruced up and renamed The Defector's Weld. I mean, who's defecting - and why are they welding?

'S'all wrong...

for some reason i got it in my head that weld is a variation on guild (gu often = w e.g. guillaume/william) but i don't know if i just made that up/imagined it... and do defectors have guilds?

I'm no foodie, but it doesn't seem worse than anywhere else, I suppose. There's an amazing Chinese called Chilli Chilli that specialises in spicy dishes, deffo worth a visit.
