Back to the Rushmore Hotel,(since I suggested it) - if anyone is interested, there is a great Patisserie on Earl's Court Road between Cromwell and Kensington High Street, called Le Monde. It is open early, and has wonderful things. It is second only to Baker and Spice for my favorite London bakery. Also, there is an amazing gastro pub which is about a 15 minute walk away, or one tube stop down on the District line, very close to the West Brompton stop. I will look up the name an address, so that I can post it tomorrow. Another wonderful Gastro-Pub, which is located in between Kensington Olympia and Shephards Bush, is called the Havelock Tavern on Masbro Street. This is a 20-30 minute walk from Earl's Court, but it is an excellent place, with a menu that changes daily. On Warwick Road is a small Persian place, almost directly across from the big Homebase store, which is also quite wonderful, and open late. It is my favorite Persian spot in the area, and there are quite a few options. I will look that name up as well.

have fun in London Jonathan Chimene
