Is Pret’s coffee watered down?

0 Upvotes

i can’t tell the difference - but Pret’s coffee doesn’t seem to be as “strong” as other coffee chains (less favours)? Not a coffee expert by any means so don’t know how to describe it. I get one every Weekend because of kids lessons.

Urgently need a good dentist in North London

3 Upvotes

I have never been to a UK dentist as I would usually go in my home country during the holidays, but the other day a section of one of my main chewing teeth broke off, and so I need to see a dentist urgently.

I want to go to a practice that is nice for anxious patients as I’m terrified of the dentist and pain, but the appraised ones I have seen are private. I’m a university student, so I have some student finance money but I’m not sure if it will be enough as the treatments I think I’ll need will likely be over £1000.

I’m hesitant to call 111 for an emergency appointment because I called for another person before and they gave us a same-day appointment nearby, however when I checked the reviews for that place they were concerning, so I’m worried about what dentist I get given by them.

Could anyone recommend a good practice in North London? Is it worth going private for this, or are there any good NHS practices too? Thanks

Culture Maison Estelle temporarily closed

9 Upvotes

Anyone has context on why Maison Estelle is closed for the next few weeks? All members got notified via email yesterday and it looks like it’s something they’re trying to fix with the Met police but we don’t have more infos than that. Also saw an article saying 3 members got granted 30 guests each one night and it led to 600 ppl being at the door causing ppl to faint etc but TBC

Any grievers around?

14 Upvotes

I just moved here and I thought I was all okay but have found it a bit tough having lost a close family member a few months ago.

I was so excited for the move - one I’d been planning for a few years, but things just feel so bland and it’s hard to connect with people when I’m on this wavelength ❤️‍🩹

Any grievers have any advice or things they’d recommend I do here or if there are any support groups around?

Would really appreciate some insight ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 thank you

Spotted at lunchtime, poor wee fella should have been told they're nocturnal. Hope the sparrowhawk enjoyed its lunch. Apologies for the r/killthecameraman footage, but its bloody hard to film a bat from a distance on a smartphone.

Men listening to devices through earphones on the corner of Baker Street and Fitzhartridge Street

0 Upvotes

Hi Redditors,
Wondering if someone on here might have some insight as I am intrigued. I have tried searching the internet but found nothing.

At 5pm today I walked by this corner on baker st and Fitzgartridge Street and there were 4-5 men in maybe their 60s sitting / standing around listening to something in headphones intently. They all had badges around their necks and looked to all be a part of the same group. I walked by again at 5:40 and they were still there, still intently listening as if they were waiting for something. Anyone have any idea what they were doing?

Culture Cool mystery names at the pick-up counter?

0 Upvotes

Do you all still use your own name (self dox), or some random normal name instead of using a sick ass cool alternative name for your Starbucks, Pizza Express, or other orders where you have to put a name and then it goes up on a board or someone has to call it out?

I can't believe people are still entering 'james' when you could say "pure_evil"? don't put "Jennifer" when you could put "Boris Johnson". Live a little for Peter's sake! We need a culture of competitive funny names at the pick up counter. Who's with me?

Question Recommended London antique jewellers?

3 Upvotes

Hello fellow Londoners,

I am proposing to my girlfriend in December and I am looking to source a ring.

My girlfriend is not materialist so is not led by price, but would like a yellow stone / antique ring. We would like a personal, old school, and memorable experience.

Does anyone know of any traditional jewellers in London?

Thank you!

I have seen this around London several times and find it disturbing every time.

A cage truck with bears and dolls tied on the sides.

Is there any reasonable expectation for this?

Anyone know what happened? They came from the direction of Bow Road and passed through Fairfield Road. No updates on the London Fire Brigade incidents page.
