The other day we got asked to arrange the team lunch the other day and oh my, there were so many local places to go to. I guess a lot of people don’t explore to know where these are too, so I thought I’d write a little post on where you could go to get in the spirit. And all you scrooges I’ve got a little surprise for you too…..
Depending on which area you live in and how far you want to travel is the key, I would love to create a little map of London with all the areas and you could click on the area to place, but eh this costs money and to be honest I’m writing this blog on a budget.
Now, a lot of people get stuck organising and arranging team lunches, dinner and friends drinks. To be honest, it’s not that hard as there is a great choices to choose from, but it just depends what you are into, so here are a few off the places I like,
