Taxi firm
 

KENTON
High Street
North London

Tel: 0208 927 0000


A taxi office who do speak proper English and understand me when I speak is a dream becoming true. The waiting room isn't full of smoke, and the receptionnist was attentive straight away, welcoming me with a warm smile.
They do not charge for collections (as long as it 's in the area they cover) and the fees very reasonnable. They also take credit cards.
The driver also spoke English very well, and talked about diets all the way, which I found very entertainning.(rather than being annoyingly flirty) I recommend them.

FOOD SHOPS  
Hodges & son Fishmongers

Tel: 0208 422 8937
What about giving up buying dodgy fish in horrible world dominating Tesco's or Sainsbury's, and supporting your local fishmongers? There are not many of them left, but what a difference. How often have I eaten a maquerel from Tesco's and thought "mmmh, it smells a bit " and had indigestion afterwards...and what a difference when last night I had a fresh maquerel from Hodges&son, which didn't even smell of fish so much it was fresh? It had a gorgeous flavour, and was delicious just oven cooked with lemon,salt and beer. Hodges&son also do their own smoked fish, which is very fine , with no nasty additives. If you have not had real fish yet, try them. Or your local fishmonger.Opening times:9 to 4pm week days, 9 to 1pm on sundays

My first experience with real butchers-fishmongers. These guys are very friendly, do not rush you into choice but try their best to help, and offer organic meat and fresh fish-seafood. Their products are excellent, and very reasonnably priced.
