"Opted for the set brunch - Lobster Benedict was a treat but the Sunday Roast was worse than the local pub and the cocktail sickly - go to Duck & Waffle instead if it's views you're after"

"Book a table in the Punch Room for pre-dinner drinks ladled from silver sharing bowls by the fireside, then onto the resplendent dining room where you'll feel like you've stumbled into a film"

"The train carriage corridor makes you feel like your stepping back in time - venture in for delicious cocktails against a backdrop of House of Hackney wallpaper"

"Prefer Riding House for breakfast rather than dinner - superb eggs Hussard and milk bottle smoothies"

"The quality of the instructors will keep you coming back- offering everything from reformer pilates and yoga to dance classes and HIIT - personal training and a changing room refurbishment coming soon"

"dim sum recommended by time out"
