Chris,

I lived in London a little over 30 years ago from 1974 to 1976. I returned on "Holiday" in 1981 and went to my favorite Hungarian Restaurant on the corner of Queensway and Bayswater on the North side of Hyde Park. They had the best Chicken Kiev you ever put in your mouth when I had lived there. My return visit, however, found the Chicken Kiev was nothing more than fried chicken on the bone with butter poured over it. I learned that one can not recommend anything as the changes are to dramatic. I lived in Denham, a little village about 20 miles west of London and worked in West 1, Mayfair, at Grosvenor Square. Purdey's was just down the street on South Audley and Holland and Holland was just off Berkelley Square on Burton Street. Rigsby was on Pall Mall and the list goes on. All were within walking distance at lunch. Give me a call when you come up for dove season and I'll give you all my outdated information.
