New Featured Article - Golden Ark, CR2 8LB

Our final blog post of the year takes us to Selsdon for our featured article: all aboard the Golden Ark micropub! There's enough beers to have them two by two (maybe halves?), with a jar in front of each to show its goldenness or lack thereof.

There are two new cafe additions to see you through to 2020: Hopper and Bean in Muswell Hill and Out of the Brew in New Cross. Both are laptop friendly but you'll have to click through to find out which one might have a resident dog.

That's it for 2019 - thanks for reading and see you in January!

The Hornbeam Cafe in Walthamstow has had an update, as has the White Hart in Hampton Wick. Finally, the Kings Arms in East Molesey has reopened after a refurb - we've been along to try their breakfast jigsaw.

Featured Article — Vasanta Bhavan, East Ham, E6

People, sorry, I've been slammed at work so completely failed to update you on the goings and comings at the venerable Randomness Guide to London.

Our featured article this week is Vasanta Bhavan, E6 2JA, a veggie Indian cafe in East Ham. I accidentally typed "Eat Ham" there, but I've corrected it, and those of you who want to do that would be best advised not to visit. Actually, probably do visit because they'll do you a nice dosa and idli.

Our two new pages are Las Fuentes, a tapas place in Selsdon, which I surely don't have to tell you is near Croydon. Surprisingly good, I'm reading. Surprisingly good. Oh and there's also The Golden Ark nearby, which is a micropub, with normal human size tables for sitting at, and (as ever) decent ale.

There are also some significant updates to Chennai Dosa, a South Indian in Croydon where they would advise you to eat the food with your fingers as nature intended. I went there not so long ago and it was excellent, v nice. There's The Edward Rayne in Raynes Park, a Wetherspoons, so you know what to expect. And Urban Guj in Thornton Heath, an Indian cafe and tea shop, which sounds like a place to go when next you find yourself in sunny CR7.
