Wheels On The Bus - The Grand Old Duke Of York (DVD)

Grand old York, minus the duke!

Advantages: A city with an amazing atmosphere and character
Disadvantages: Expensive Parking

park. The parking bays were even smaller and narrower than a multi storeys and as I struggled to park my fairly small Corsa, how anyone manages to park a lager car is beyond me. The bus links throughout the city are good and there is a park and ride facility to learn from my mistake and use the bus if at all possible! I'd say York is well worth a visit, even just for the day to experience one of the best cities I've had the chance to visit. ...

Review of Getting Around in York

The grand old crisp of York

Advantages: taste
Disadvantages: price

I'll admit it, the name ahd me intruiged, as did the fact that they were reduced to clear... I like kettle chips - their emphasis on quality and natural ingredients, their good flavours and general excellence so I can't usually resist them, especially when on offer. The red Duke of York is a potato variety, which is used for this crisp. It's a red skinned spud, and unusually for crisps, the skins have been left on, giving you a dark reddish-brown rim on every crisp.

Dine like a Duke

Advantages: Cracking food and a good price - for a pub!
Disadvantages: A bit small for buggies, awkward downstairs toilet access.

stairs and although I can't speak for the gents I imagine they'd be the same as the ladies so please, watch your head as the ceiling is so low in the toilet cubicles that if you happen to be 5ft 6" (like me) and get up too fast, you could end up concussing yourself on the arched ceiling. Having said that, the two cubicles themselves are always spotlessly clean, the basin has L'Occitaine handwash and hand cream and they also have one of those rather zippy Dyson Blade hand dryers plus a fair sized mirror for general hair and facial faffage. ~Recommended?~ If you are in the neighbourhood then yes, although there are lots of eateries in SJW if you can get into The Duke then I'd say go there. Its food that feeds you and not just food that fills you up. www.thedukeofyork.com 2 St Anne's Terrace St Johns Wood NW8 6PJ T) 0207 722 ...
