The chances of this becoming a reality - near to zero.
I went to Camden yesterday with my folks, as well as Louie and Milly. I think they were pooped from all the walking to care that people were fawning all over them (Lou and Mills, not my paremts...)

We ran into a very old dear friend and had drinks on the roof terrace of Coco Bamboo (a Brazilian bar and restaurant) It's got a really chilled out vibe and the menu looked delish!

Here are some of my other 'must see' places in the glorious world of Camden.
EATERIES AND DRINKERIES
Inspiral
An organic, vegan and raw food café. Inspiral does some great desserts, smoothies and teas. Open till late, this little café really gets going on weekends with DJs and open mic Sundays. With it being vegan, it's obviously an eco-friendly gaff, but it also uses 100% renewable energy!
THE DEETS:
250 Camden High Street
London
NW1 8QS

Gilgamesh
This is definitely in my top 5 places to eat, ever! (Along with Terre a Terre, Brighton - but that's another blog) It's not just because of the food, which is lovely, don't get me wrong, but as soon as you walk past the flamed posts and step onto the escalator, walk through to the coat check and are taken to your seat, you know you're in for something special. The lavish surroundings and attentive staff are key ingredients to what make this pan-asian restaurant worthy of its award winning status.

Ice cream goes all Heston Blumenthal with liquid nitrogen. This is the first ice cream parlour to do so in Europe. With each ice cream made directly infront of each customer, it's also a magical feast for the eyes. It's a fabulous snippet of performance art that's great for the kids.
